Mass Effect 3, Batman: Arkham Knight, and many more have the dubious honour of a place in our list of the most controversial PC games ever.

Some developers promise the world; Hello Games promised an entire universe, an expanse of procedurally-generated planets so vast that no one player could ever hope to see them all. Though backed in part by Sony the studio was relatively small, but every interview and trailer only layered on more and more layers of expectations, from unique flora and fauna on every world, to warring alien factions, to MMO-like multiplayer.

Perhaps No Man's Sky could never have lived up to people's visions of what it could be, but regardless the game that launched didn't include many of the core features discussed in previews, and was simply a far more basic and narrow experience than players hoped. Hello Games' over-enthusiastic naivety backfired to a terrifying degree, and the studio received an absolute avalanche of anger, accusations, harassment, and abuse.

Whatever you think of their intentions, it can at least be said that they made good—in the years since, No Man's Sky has received regular updates, some even adding in those promised missing features and, though it may never be the game some imagined, it enjoys a thriving community regardless.
