The 10 Worst Video Games of 2022

by Jason Dietz, Metacritic Features Editor – December 13, 2022

The gallery on this page ranks the lowest-scoring games released for any platform between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. Games are ranked by Metascore (as of December 12, 2022) prior to rounding, and any titles with fewer than 7 reviews from professional critics are excluded. (In other words, these bad games are all major enough to get reviews from multiple publications.)

If a single title would have landed on the list multiple times due to low scores on more than one platform, we only included the lowest-scoring version.

52 #10: Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition (Switch)

An "enhanced" port of a fairly good 1997 point-and-click sci-fi adventure game set within the same universe as the first Blade Runner film, this remaster was not the hit that the original was. In fact, it wasn't even as good as an unofficial port released for PC a few years ago. Critics and users complained about the new graphics and numerous glitches.

“Finding anything positive about the new (sic) Blade Runner is almost impossible. The time-honored legend didn't age well in the remastered edition after 25 years, and perhaps it would be better if it remained only in our memories." —SECTOR.sk
