Not every game mission has to knock your socks off, but a terrible mission can put a whole game at risk. Many bad missions follow common patterns, and they're just as much of an issue for modern games as they've ever been. Let's learn from game design history, and talk about terrible missions in games!
Featuring:
Super Mario Sunshine
We Love Katamari
Yooka-Laylee
Breath of the Wild
Spyro 2
Skyward Sword
Jak 2
Dead Rising
Ace Attorney: Justice for All
Shadow the Hedgehog
