10 Games That Had An Identity Crisis

Self-awareness is a powerful thing, particularly when it comes to video games. It's more important than you might think for a game to know exactly what it is – or, more importantly, what players want it to be. Knowing exactly what to aim for helps developers to make a good game, whereas including features that don't belong generally leads to a confusing mess. Sometimes, though, these stray ideas find their way into the finished game regardless. When this happens, it's practically impossible for players to miss, because they stick out like a whole big bag of severed sore thumbs. They really are that noticeable. Here are 10 Times Video Games Experienced an Identity Crisis.
