Games Too Broken to be Worth Playing

There are a lot of facets of a video game that may not age well, but the one area where that is actively detrimental is the gameplay. This list reflects titles I've played over the years that had some central feature that was so fault-ridden, it caused me to quit. As such, these reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as I don't consider them legitimate critiques, though hopefully their contents explain why.

I agree on Mafia 1, I couldn't finish the original because it was so hard to just play:)))
Had to watch the game on YouTube some 10 years ago since i couldn't beat it.

@Zguvat - have you considered playing the remake? The quality looked great (AND they fixed the driving xD).
