Imagine, if you will. IO Interactive makes Hitman: Blood Money, one of the best stealth games ever made, if not one of the best games period. They're backed by a large publisher and they're on top of the world. What's their next move? The worst fucking co-op game you'll ever play in your life. You may be misled to think that the game's awfulness is intentional due to the game's gritty, nihilistic and miserable aesthetics, but there is no benefit gained to this whatsoever. Kane & Lynch would be no less interesting if it had decent controls, satisfying shooting, well-developed enemy AI, or any thought put into its design at all. The only positive I can think to this experience was laughing at its awfulness while playing in co-op with a friend. Absolutely irredeemable otherwise.
