It’s true that we’ve had a great year, full of a large number of titles, which we’ve enjoyed in recent months. It is not in vain that some media and actors have considered that 2023 will be remembered as one of the best years in video games.
Additionally, for our part, we offered coverage of the best games from the first months and first half. However, on this occasion we are not going to mention the best games of the year, but rather their counterpart with the disappointments that have occurred in recent months.
Top games that disappointed us in 2023
The experiences are not always the best with the games that arrive and we mention this because on several occasions we find that certain games do not meet the quality quotas or that their development simply did not end in the expected way.
In the middle of the year we made a summary of the big disappointments of the first half of the year which you can read from this link. Likewise, we are thus closing an important cycle and for this reason we will review the 2023 summary.
6- Wanted dead
A game that at the time promised to be an interesting new IP; We commented on this because those responsible for the game came from a team with a lot of experience in the industry, since they had participated in high quality titles such as Dead or Alive by Ninja Gaiden. Unfortunately, everything was a disaster, being repetitive and with details at the technical level, our colleague Pedro had the chance to analyze this title and which you can read at this link.

1- Skull Island: The Rise of Kong
We thought for a moment that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum would be the undisputed champion of 2023 as the biggest disappointment of the year. But who would have imagined that such a disaster could be overcome by the Monkey King and he would win the gold medal. A game destroyed by players and critics, with so many errors that an encyclopedia could be made to explain each one. Here we have first place, another game from a franchise, which will remain in the chest of memories.
