So Redfall came out, and while the consensus seems to be it's not a very good game, I've heard some people say "Oh it's just a bad game, those come out all the time" and others point out it's a bad game, crucially, in a very bad time for Microsoft, as none of their bigger games except Forza Horizon seem to be hitting lately, etc etc..
Anyway, in the midst of all this I listened to friend-of-the-site John Warren's "The Sunday Scroll" podcast (latest episode has one Jeff Gerstmann guesting, so that was why I started), and he said there have been way worse AAA games coming out in the past few years. And I honestly can't really think of any?
I feel like the "big" games coming out these days are at least usually pretty competent, and it's been a while since a game with a really bug budget came out and immediately smashed it's face into a wall or something, technical issues not-withstanding?
So what are some "bad" or critically reviled AAA games in recent years, say 2020 and forward?
I can think of Gotham Knights, which also seemed to hit that level of mediocre and bland.
Balan Wonderworld is considered a total disaster, I suppose.
Anything else?
