What's the worst game you've ever played?

C&C tiberium twillight, should've never happened.

I remember buying rise of the robots when I was 9 with my birthday money, the shop assistant said it was good. I learned a valuable, valuable lesson that day.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
I think the worst game I played in recent memory that I was absolutely not happy about was Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. I understand that it was mostly a narrative experience with interesting mechanical ideas, but it was still very vague and felt like an incomplete apocalypse story. I don't like it when a game just throws all direction to you and never clearly outlines its goals

The worst part, is it puts the walking simulator in walking simulator. The walk speed feels like a quarter of the average walk speed of any other game of its kind, and the hidden run speed is more or less half the average, to the point where I often looked sideways just to make sure I was "sprinting". You couldn't make a slower game if you tried. More importantly, I question the validity of calling it a game. More like a VR experience to be honest.

Bound By Flame
Bound By Flame was also a close second. I felt the game relied too hard on the parry mechanic, was a little too hard on the easiest difficulty, and the mobs were overwhelming too early in the game. The second dungeon swarms you with 4 spiders in a tight corridor that you'd be lucky to get through. Definitely a Soulsborne that didn't play well.

Brink
A couple of people brought up Brink. I actually liked the game but it was super buggy (a Bethesda staple). It was also another example of Engineers being the broken class.

Natural Doctrine
I don't think its a bad game necessarily, but Natural Doctrine was actually hard to wrap my head around. I thought it was meme tier when people called it the Dark Souls of turn-based SRPGs, but holy shit it was hyper technical. Projectiles don't have rigid sight lines, ignoring the tile system that these types of games have. It's a really slow crawl.

Bad Rats

My friend bought it for me as a joke

[Hyperweasle]

Brink, i got it for free and still feel ripped off. it mockingly annoys me to see it every time i look through my 360 collection.

Yeah, played for maybe an hour before I just got tired of it just being too mediocre. I was also surprised it didn't have local multiplayer, it would gave it one redeeming factor if it did.

Puzzled, hands down I got it on the switch eshop, it's a Tetris based puzzle game with awful controls, you can only rotate with one button, and the RNG for what pieces you get is a joke,the game is like "you want 4-6 block pieces in a row?"

The Premise is awesome you have to clear lines of blocks to free a balloon to get to the next level, however the way it is set up, means you get random pieces to fix a puzzle that needs certain pieces, and the RNG tend to screw you over, I have no where to place a 4X4 piece so why not get 4-6 of them in a row...

It is the
Worst game I have played by design
Worst game I have wasted money on
Worst game by controls
Worst game just in general
just awful I know it's an old arcade port, but out of all the NEO-GEO games to port over that's easily one of if not the worst one.

I have a feeling the RNG was made bad on purpose to be a quarter guzzler back in the day at arcade to cash in on the Tetris craze but today it's just aged super poorly since you can only rotate in one direction, in Tetris, Puyo Puyo, and Puzzle Fighter the most you should ever have to rotate is twice and in most cases just one, but since you can only go in one direction, the minimum for some pieces is 3... Doesn't sound like much to complain about but it is.

Aliens: Colonial Marines or Duke Nukem: Forever

Probably DNF because A:CM was enjoyable with friends and the DLCs were too shabby.

That is one i would agree on, was feeling so cheated had such promise... one of the few games i ever traded from my 360 collection.

Star Wars Galaxies (the MMO from like 2003) was pretty........ let's say rocky.

it just sooo boring, you pick skills the have a certain % to actually do something. you dont controll your character or anything beside putting on armor and picking out skills and the worst part at lvl 100 the grind to lvl up gets incredibly slow, by design. by then you can choose to retire and come back with a 50% boost to XP 2 free skill points etc. and then you have to do everything again from suare one with these bonuses, I have tried this 3 times and its just sooo freaking boring.

Ready for some HOT take ?

Horizon Zero Dawn
Tutorial
To get it of the graphism are good but i rarely care about this aspect of games expect for the faces, they are all super oiled and try to mimic reality wich make them look gross overall.
The tutorial is like one big sitcom of the 80s what annoy me the most is the death of aloy's father (the only good character in this game), the first few hour of the game where you discover mechanics are great but you soon discover that there is nothing more to it, you will have to continue with the same mechanic during the 100h of content the game purpose.
Gameplay
This game is those kind of game who lie to you, when i buyed the game i thought that the main threat will always be the mecha dinos and not even past the tutorial you already see where this is going: fighting humans controlling mechadinos if i wanted another farcry primal i would have buyed another copy of farcry primal...
The skill-tree is one of the worst joke i've seen, you have basic movement hidden behind skill that you learn exemple assassination from above or from below are hidden behind skill that you learn, it's a way to buff up the numbers of skills to fake somekind of complexity. The close combat fight is shitty, hit roll hit roll hit roll hit roll, a lot of mechadinos (even the big ones) just go charging at you making the use of projectile against the big one rather diffucult and making the camera go crazy.
The biggest mistake they made is the weapons we are offered they are all the same as guns but slower and shittier.
World / Art direction
The game offer you a world to explore with statues and dirt and snow nothing really futuristic expect for the mechadinos wandering around, for a civilization who created a mecha technology who feed on life to stay alive i expected more building to resist the period of time. Speaking about mechadinos the people in the game build they house with wood... against dinos who spit flames... The fuck ? They have tons and tons of steel i expected their house to be more chromed.

there is lot to go on but i will stop here today.
