There are many games released every year, including classic sequels, big IP adaptations, and many dark horses that suddenly appear. These games tend to give players a good experience, but it is inevitable that there will be games that players are full of anticipation and overturn. In this article, we will take a look at those games that will roll over in 2023.
CS2 - 87% positive rating, very positive
Seeing this 87% special praise, don't you feel a little confused? This can also be regarded as a rollover? Indeed, this should be considered a big success for other games, but for the "CS2" of V Society, it is a rollover. You must know that the previous CS:GO stage of the game had a positive rating of more than 87%, and now it is completely pulled down by CS2.
As the world's most famous shooter, of course, when V Company announced that it would release "CS2", you can imagine the excitement of many fans. In addition, whether it is "Survival Road", "Portal" or "Dota 2", the reputation of V Club games has always been very good, and players are not worried about games and the like, which also makes the overturn of "CS2" completely unexpected by players.
Many people didn't expect that after the launch of "CS2", the existence of various problems and bug problems once made the game's recent evaluation on the 30th fall to mixed reviews.
It's worth mentioning that CS2 is still a direct successor to CSGO's store page and historical reviews, with a mixed rating of 68% at the time, which is lower than the 69% of the previously failed Dota 2 card game Artifact, and even the overall rating of reviews has been lowered.
"Border" - 67% positive rating, mixed reviews
PlayStation China's 2016 game support and cultivation program "China Star Program" was the first to be selected. Development of a new studio formed by former Tencent employees.
If a game has the above two introductions, I believe many players will be interested in this game, if you add the ultimate picture quality, shooting games, space background, full 360-degree stereoscopic maneuver and other descriptions, is it more to make you look forward to it?
Although it is a domestic game, Sony's vision is always not bad. I believe that many players ushered in the release of "Frontier" with this expectation, but the beautiful filter was completely shattered after the game was officially launched.
When the game was released, a large number of players poured into the game, and after the initial freshness, the gameplay content was too small, the mode lacked creativity, the optimization was problematic, there were a lot of bugs, etc., so they were also exposed to players, and the game's evaluation continued to decline.
The number of people online in the game has been on sale for less than half a year, and it was even as low as 5 people, and I couldn't even make up a game!
Although at the beginning of the problem, the official is also actively giving feedback, such as live broadcast to fix game bugs, launch new game modes and so on. It's a pity that all kinds of efforts have no effect.,At present, it seems that the official has given up.,The game hasn't been updated for a long time.,The promised content hasn't been realized.,Even some time ago, there was a sudden shutdown of the server.。
"Harvest Day 3" - 42% positive rating, mixed reviews
"Harvest Day 2" is a shooting game that many players should have played, and the creative robbery gameplay is still very attractive. It has 420,000 reviews on the Steam platform, with a positive rating of 89%.
But after all, Harvest Day 2 is a 2013 antique game, and many places have not kept up with the times. Therefore, when "Harvest Day 3" was officially announced in January this year, many fans and players were still looking forward to it.
As a sequel to its successful predecessor, Harvest Day 3 doesn't seem to have a hard time getting a hit. As long as "Harvest Day 3" makes some adjustments on the basis of the original framework and adds some game content in the form of "doing addition", it can actually satisfy the appetite of most players.
Even if it just retains the original gameplay and simply improves the picture quality, it should be able to satisfy most players and give them good reviews, but the world is impermanent, and the performance of "Harvest Day 3" is overturned.
On September 21, Harvest Day 3 was released, and a large number of players poured into the game, but the ensuing experience was disappointing. Due to the need to keep the game connected to the Internet all the time, but the official servers are quite bad, too many players are experiencing problems such as disconnections, long matchmaking, and inability to connect.
The poor game experience also made the game overturn when it was released, and it was badly reviewed by a large number of players, and the steam evaluation of the game at that time fell to most of the negative reviews, and even the reverse output ushered in a new increase in the number of online players of "Harvest Day 2".
"Starry Night" - 68% positive rating, mixed reviews
Generally speaking, a game can have a 68% praise rate, which is not a rollover, at most it is not perfect and not popular enough. However, if this game is replaced by "Starry Night", it will indeed be regarded as a rollover, after all, according to the impression given to players by the initial publicity of the game, if you don't get rave reviews, it will be a failure.
And now the 30-day praise rate has fallen below 30%. Out of 7,213 reviews, only 29% are positive. And on November 20, the 30-day reviews of the Steam store of "Starfield" were mixed. After that, the game didn't get any more substantive content updates, except for a few minor updates that fixed bugs in the game.
"The Elder Scrolls" is a classic IP, as long as you have played the game, you should have heard of it. Therefore, when Todd announced the new work "Starry Night", you can imagine how high the expectations of the majority of players are. Not to mention, this time "Starfield" is a space background game, according to the official introduction, in the game players can create any character, explore the world and experience unprecedented freedom. Embark on this epic journey to discover the ultimate mystery of human civilization.
Maybe it's overhyped, or maybe it's a misunderstanding? Many players are expecting Starfield to bring them a perfect space adventure, and the game's performance after its release has disappointed many people. Players expect a seamless, oversized world adventure, but the game is loaded with black screens everywhere. The content of the game is not an open-world universe adventure, it is essentially a traditional RPG game, but with a layer of space skin.
"Wo Long: The Fall of the Sky" - 47% positive rating, mixed reviews
Wo Long: Skyfall is an action game developed by Team NINJA, a subsidiary of Koei. The game is set in the Central Plains at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and organically integrates the elements of the Three Kingdoms with the monsters that appear in the classic work "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Players will take on the role of a nameless warrior who will use carefully designed Chinese martial arts movements to break through the chaos of demons.
Players who play games regularly should be familiar with Team NINJA, after all, they have produced popular games such as "Ninja Dragon Sword" and "Nioh", and these games have been well received by players. But this time "Wo Long: Skyfall" is a bit disappointing.
Although "Wo Long: Skyfall" sold very well, it won the "Japan Game Awards 2022" Future Award before it was released, and later received a high score of 83 from many foreign media, of which 27 media gave the game a good review. But the old problem of not paying attention to the PC side of the glorious game is still the same, because of the optimization problem, the game's reputation collapsed on steam, and the game's rating at that time fell to "mostly bad reviews", with a praise rate of only 38%.
One of the most serious problems is the ultra-sluggish camera rotation, with some players saying that it feels like the mouse is broken, and that they have to move the mouse to turn the camera without exaggeration. Some old players speculate that the reason for this is that the glorious application of the operating logic of the controller to the mouse, it can be said that those who do not have a handle are not worthy of playing this game.
There are also many players who say that the game will have a black screen and flashback, serious lag, the screen will burst, there is no sound in the CG animation, the handle keys are chaotic, and more seriously, there are many players who can't even start the game. Some players complained that the experience of "Wo Long: Skyfall" is so poor and has nothing to do with the configuration, it is entirely because the game has not been optimized on the PC side, and some netizens ridiculed that this is an "epic" optimization.
"Wild Hearts" - 48% positive rating, mixed reviews
Coincidentally, Wo Long: Skyfall failed on PC optimization, and another game, also developed by a Japanese developer, also made the same mistake, and that was the triple-A open-world adventure game Wild Hearts, developed by Koei in collaboration with EA.
I have to say that this kind of "arrogance" for the PC platform is also a common problem of Japanese manufacturers. Poor PC optimization caused both 40 series and 10 series graphics cards to freeze when there were many special effects.
The EA and Omega Force teams apparently didn't do a good job of optimizing for the PC platform, and the problems exposed in the beta version carried over to the official version. Some people complain that EA's platform can't be opened smoothly, and even the game can't be entered, while players who are lucky enough to enter the game often encounter problems such as game crashes and crashes.
Since you're not motivated enough, it's no wonder that players give you bad reviews, and after the game was launched, poor PC optimization was criticized by players. At one point, the game's reviews were suppressed to a negative rating of only 32%. Although it was later restored for more than half a month, the reviews of "Wild Heart" have reached mixed reviews, with a positive rating of 48%. But the popularity of passers-by at the beginning of the game can be regarded as a failure.,Why did you go earlier.。
Forza Motorsport - 39% positive rating, mostly negative reviews
When it comes to the name Forza Motorsport, I believe that many people first think of the two classics "Forza Horizon 4" and "Forza Horizon 5". However, strictly speaking, the Forza Motorsport series and the Forza Horizon series are two different works.
The previous game in the Forza Motorsport series was Forza Motorsport 7 six years ago. So, of course, Microsoft announced a new game in the series, Forza Motorsport Forza Motorsport, which still makes many players excited. In addition, this is the eighth part of the series, but because the official said that it would start again, the number was removed, but many players are still Xi to call it "Forza Motorsport 8".
Although it is not the same series, but with the successful experience of Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 5, coupled with the backing of Microsoft Dad, and the success of the previous games in the series, players are still quite looking forward to Forza Motorsport Forza Motorsport. Coupled with the many actual demonstrations announced in the official publicity stage, it is even more exciting.
Unfortunately, despite the grand vision of Forza Motorsport 8 that accompanies a reboot of the franchise, it didn't work out as expected. The game received a large number of bad reviews from players after its release, and although the innovation and change in the game were passable, it disappointed players in terms of game graphics, optimization, and servers.
《罗博造造2》——好评率36%、多半差评
The free mecha battle sandbox online game "Robb Manufacturing" should have been played by many players, and this game can be regarded as a masterpiece in the minds of many players. On November 8, the game's sequel, Robb Builds 2, was released on Steam, but the game's subsequent performance was not as successful as the remaster.
In Robb Fabrication 2, players can experience an online player duel game and wreak havoc block by block. Take your mighty lineup of war-ready machines to Mars and wield a variety of futuristic weapons to dominate the maps of Quick Battles, Ranked Games, and Special Events.
Even if the machine breaks, the player can fight on foot and continue to kill enemies with a trusty QMG assault rifle. Powerful turrets and vehicles are scattered all over the map: survive long enough on the machine-filled terrain and use them in your quest for revenge!
Although the game has a good breakthrough in terms of gameplay, compared to the first generation of games. However, in terms of specific details, many players were disappointed. The game is poorly optimized, and the graphics are stuttering. The construction system is lame in operation, and the onboarding is not perfect. To make matters worse, games that focus on multiplayer battles don't match properly. Therefore, many players said that this game is the first generation, and the first generation of "Robb Manufacturing" is better as a second generation game.
"Cursed Land" - 62% positive rating, mixed reviews
Although there are no absolutes, there will be no problems with the game works of major manufacturers. However, the games of internationally renowned manufacturers are at least guaranteed on the lower limit. Therefore, when SE announced its new work "Cursed Land", the cool magic battles and game world in the promotional video were still very exciting.
"Cursed Land" tells the story of Freya, a young New York woman, who suddenly breaks into the magical but brutal kingdom of Yacia, and tries to accept new real-life people as she explores and traverses the magnificent open world of Yacia. Over time, Freya was no longer a lost New Yorker. She has been put through trials and developed her magical abilities, becoming a self-confident hero by fighting against many enemies.
However, after the game was released, it gave players a slap in the face. Most players think that the plot and character creation of "Cursed Land" are very poor, the performance optimization is poor, the game mechanics are too stretched, and the game plot is also criticized by players. Although it claims to be a game that uses the DirectStorage feature and has very fast read speeds, it seems that you will suffer from severe frame rate jumps and stuttering problems in the game.
At the time of the game's release, the media score on station M was just 63 passing, and the player score was even lower to 1.7. Even now, almost 11 months have passed since the game's release, and the game's player rating has only recovered to 3.8 points.
However, judging from the evaluation of the Steam platform, the taste of the game has picked up in the last 30 days, and it has received a positive rating of 78%.
"The Lord of the Rings: Gollum" - 37% positive rating, mostly negative reviews
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is an action-adventure game based on the story of The Lord of the Rings. Players will embark on an evil journey as Gollum in pursuit of his only cherished One Ring. Gollum is scheming, insidious and cunning, and at the same time struggling with a split personality. One mind, two selves – the choice is yours. The game's Gollum is weak and can only be subdued or defeated by stealth assassinations or by using environmental interactions to subdue or defeat unsuspecting enemies.
"The Lord of the Rings" is undoubtedly a top-notch IP, although the protagonist of the game is the unpopular Gollum in the novel, but at the beginning of the game's announcement, many players still had expectations for this game. However, unfortunately, after the release of the game, the performance of the game gave the majority of players a slap in the face.
The visual performance of the game is always the first impression that the game shows to the players. It's a pity that this first impression of "The Lord of the Rings" is extremely bad. In the case of full effect, the picture of "The Lord of the Rings" is excellent, as if it was the top level in 2013.
As for the optimization of the game, it is also a disaster, in addition to the massive number of bugs in the game, the game is everywhere in the game under normal game conditions. It is not uncommon to fail and restart due to a lag during the game.
Poor performance, naturally, has also been met with crazy bad reviews from players. According to Metacritic data at the time, the PC version of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum ranked second to last with only 40 points, while the PS5 version ranked at the bottom with only 38 points, and versions on other platforms were not included in the ranking due to insufficient ratings.
Even Daedalic Entertainment, the developer of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, was by himself, saying that he would stop in-house game development and focus on future game releases. The second Lord of the Rings game in development has also been put on hold.
