In an interview about the upcoming sequel, Kane & Lynch Dog Days, IO revealed that the lukewarm critical reception to the first game prompted a lot of changes in the sequel.
"Of course it was a blow for us," IO's Carsten Lund told IncGamers.
Dog Days producer Hakan Abrak told us that despite the game being a "huge success" the critical reception highlighted problems, such as the "core shooter part, and the cover system."
GF365: "Among all the well-received and beloved video games, there are some that are horrendous. Here are our picks for the worst big budget games released since 2010."
Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.
"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.
$3 billion and counting along with alot of users. I disagree with that being on the list. This list is just a person opinion without merit
I havent played Genshin Impact and Mafia 3 was alright. The rest though I kind of agree with.
I loved the 1st Kane and Lynch and I could not understand how the 2nd game was as bad as it was.

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The video game industry is a pretty cutthroat place. More often than not the cycle of a game’s life is pretty set in stone – a title is announced, hyped ,released and hopefully it’s a hit. However sometimes things don’t go as planned and a game doesn’t hit home with gamers. Not that’s it a bad game per say but due to a myriad of issues or the general mood of the world at the time the game isn’t remembered so fondly as its contemporaries. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re listing off ten titles that you should probably give a second chance to because they really are decent titles and deserve more love than they ever got."
I enjoyed Kane and Lynch. I would love to see a PS All-Stars 2 or a non-Smash take on a PlayStation fighter. Maybe a Marvel v Campcom style but with larger levels.
I’d rather Nintendo give Star Fox Assault a second chance and make another new game in that style. I like that game way better than Star Fox Adventures
I heartily agree.
Maybe even a sequel with that new walker from Star Fox Zero.[yes I know it's originally from Star Fox 2, but most of us know it from Zero because we didn't get to play SF2.]
More people played SF2 than SFZ thanks to SNES Mini, and emulation. Also, Star Fox Adventure > Star Fox Assault.
The Conduit.
Just, give us a reboot of that for Switch and make it bigger and better than the original, which had potential but never got off the ground due to being on the Wii.
Castlevania 64 was an amazing game for its time and I'd LOVE to see it get a proper remake or reboot.
A huge success? REALLY?
Well, the second one seems to be on everyone's lips, despite the 1st one.
How could he keep a straight face and say that?
We'll see
I loved it.
I know i'm like alone in the world, but I enjoyed playing K&L.
Sorry
