Tin Salamunic: For every decent indie release on Steam, there are at least a dozen ghastly offenders to avoid like the plague. One would think the introduction of user reviews would lead to better quality filtering, but Enforcer: Police Crime Action proves that’s not the case. Its overly positive user reception is deceiving. While not a complete disaster, Enforcer fails to carry out the simplest gameplay functions effectively. The poor execution may be tolerable for an Early Access title, but Enforcer retails as a complete product. It’s easy to assume a low budget alone is responsible for Enforcer’s clunkiness, but we’ve seen what small developers can accomplish. As many indie studios have proven over the years, with enough passion, motivation and talent, anything is possible.
(CriticalIndieGamer) Well, here we are again, choosing the mould from the gold(is that a saying?), picking out the cream of the crap. Truth be told, it has been another so-so gaming year for me. With the exception of a few truly stellar titles, it has all been a bit forgettable. But these abominations deserve a special mention. For crimes against gaming they have been deemed my worst games of 2014 – play them at your peril.
I would say as far as disappointing games go Watch Dogs is on the list but it's not a bad game just like Infamous Second Son which was disappointing compared to the first Infamous game.
I'll be doing a dissapointing games tomorrow! These games on the other hand are just ones I found to be flat out bad.
i preferred this new infamous to the first one, infamous 2 has been my favourite so far though.
I think the length of the story is what made it disappointing to me. The most disappointing games to me are the ones that felt like they could be so much better with more time to focus on story.
Are these all PC games? Suprised they didn't include that Air Flight Control game. What a mess that game was.
NAh these aren't all PC games. There's a few Playstation titles in there too.
I'm going on the games that I personally played this year :)

I’ve gotten to say a lot lately how fortunate I am getting to review indie games because of so many great games that can be found there. For every This War of Mine, though, there’s an Enforcer: Police Crime Action; a game so rife with issues and confusing gameplay that it’s less of a game, and more of an experiment in patience and self-loathing. While there’s quite a bit of potential packed into this strange and sprawling title, it’s held back by itself in so many ways that nearly every bit of that possibility is wasted.
From Gamewatcher.com: "Suffering from a severe lack of polish, Enforcer Police Crime Action is a buggy and poor-looking game that frequently fails to deliver anything particularly interesting or authentic. Putting you in the shoes of a rookie Police officer you get to progress up the enforcement ladder by completing missions, upholding the law and balancing work with a home life. Unfortunately Enforcer doesn’t do any of these very well and aside from the interesting premise, this is police brutality in video game form".
