As 2020 soon comes to a close, it is important to look back on all the wonderful gaming experiences that helped gamers cope with this year. However, just as there have been many award-winning games for 2020 that came out, there have also been some titles that weren’t quite as memorable for various reasons, whether it be poor controls, technical issues, or other concerns.
Metacritic, a review gathering website, has compiled a list of the top ten worst-rated games for 2020 as of December 15th. Titles with fewer than 7 reviews are automatically excluded, and if a single title was released on multiple platforms, the website only lists the lowest-rated version. Many gamers may not have heard of many of these titles, so here’s a brief explanation of them (working down to the lowest rated game).
The Elder Scrolls: Blades is the newest installment into the Elder Scrolls franchise developed by Bethesda. Many critics gave it a low rating for its bland grinding and repetitive nature, stating that the gameplay resembles a free-to-play mobile game (which it originally is) and that those elements did not translate to the Switch so well.
Visually, Gleamlight came off as a pleasing game, but it couldn’t last. Due to its flawed controls, lackluster music, and minimal content, the game was panned by critics.
Some hoped Street Power Soccer would be a fresh new take on the soccer sim, but many reviewers panned it for its lack of depth and polish.
Tamarin is a game developed by Chameleon Games, home to many previous developers from Rare. As a result, there was some expectation for it, but unfortunately it didn’t land so well as a concept.
Remothered: Broken Porcelain was critically panned for its game-breaking bugs and confusing narrative.
Due to the Arc of Alchemists’ poor frame rate, uninteresting combat, and bland characters, many reviewers were unimpressed by the game.
Slightly Mad Studios developed Fast & Furious Crossroads, the same developer behind titles like Project CARS and Need for Speed: Shift. Yet, with a seemingly small budget that mainly went towards the voice acting, the game was plagued with bugs and poor controls.
Developed by Brok3nsite, Dawn of Fear was modeled after the classic 1990 Resident Evil horror era. Unfortunately, the game is riddled with technical issues and poor design choices.
XIII, an adaptation of a Belgian graphic novel series, was originally released in 2003, with 2020 seeing it re-release as XII Remake for a new generation. However, the studio changed many visuals and gameplay from the original, making many players so upset that they had to issue a formal apology to XIII fans.
The worst title of 2020 on Metacritic is given to Tiny Racer, a $10 racing game exclusive to the Switch, due to poor gameplay and lack of inspiration.
