Unfortunately, some developers find themselves on the flip side of this genre as a result of sloppy creations.
It takes more than whimsy trees and bushes in an expansive regenerating world to make a great sandbox game.
Well, here are the five worst sandbox games of all time.
The city is poorly depicted, with loosely crafted visuals enough to turn you away before even playing.
The game features a series of repetitive main quest objectives that would frustrate even the most optimistic player.
Usually, one expects a sequel to be an improvement on the original, but not in this case.
In fact, compared to its prequel, the second entry makes every aspect of the superhero game worse.
This only pushed more players to scrutinize the game and seek out alternative titles.
Considering it’s frustrating gameplay that involved ludicrous combat and overall boring characters, it was pretty much doomed.
There was nothing special about the game that would have drawn in more players.
The game is practically unplayable and is also one of the lowest-ranking games on Metacritic.
It features a shallow storyline with lots of uninteresting plots.
Most gamers accuse the game’s developer of releasing it in an incomplete state.
Aside from having glitches, bugs, and crushes, this open-world game has parts missing in its content.
Nearly every part of the game has been deemed messy, with either being incomplete or having multiple bugs.
Not to mention the cutscenes where the character’s dialogues fail to play or the ridiculously animated NPCs.
Even the combat mechanisms were faulty, from clunky controls to delayed reactions.
Fable 3
The Fableseries boasted so much potential, after its first two entries exhibited great success.
Because of this, fans pretty much expectedFable 3to deliver the same satisfying experience.
Instead, the game battered and butchered every admirable aspect that made the series special.
Most found it oversimplified and overall slow.
The storyline featured was also not striking enough to properly describe Albion’s plight.
The disappointment was what eventually shut down the franchise.
Two Worlds
Another awful title that dragged its developer with it through its muddy puddles of disappointment isTwo Worlds.
The game is plagued with bugs and glitches that make it hard to progress.
The clunky controls set the stage for the most frustrating combat encounters.
