15 Times Game Companies Totally Lost Their Way

Platinum Games – The Legend of Korra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan and Star Fox Zero

PlatinumGames is celebrated for many games (like NieR: Automata).

At the time, it felt like the brains behind such classics as Nier and Vanquish were floundering but thankfully, it didn’t last.
