Kickstarters were promised a spiritual successor to "SWAT 4." What they received was the spiritual successor to "SWAP.avi"

Revels so much in its admittedly cool concept, it forgets to build an enjoyable (or even passable) game around it. Genuinely unfortunate.

Successfully utilizes jump scares to disorient players to a point where they don't realize how terrible the gameplay / gunplay mechanics actually are.

The horrible secret of Shadow Warrior is that it was never any good, and succeeded entirely on its gross bad humor; or as the jerks would say, "charm."

Meaningless side quests, pointless progression, and heavily scripted story missions. Never has an "open world" felt so empty and closed-off.

Downright despicable, from the loose gameplay to the offensive attempt at "offensive comedy." Lazy in every sense of the word. Championed by sociopaths.

Once vaunted as "the next Deus Ex," chances are you've already forgotten it. How a unique style managed to cover for tacked-on stealth and bland combat.

FPS and RPG can be an incredible combination. The secret is, it has to control well, otherwise the perspective is wasted. Guess how this turned out?

A hodgepodge of unrealized ideas, but charming nonetheless. Attempts to push the Source engine to its limits. As it turns out, Source is pretty limited!

"Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" plus more guns and parkour... Except only a small handful of those guns are viable, and the parkour is useless. Oops!
