The 10 Worst Video Games of 2021

by Jason Dietz, Metacritic Features Editor – December 20, 2021

Above are the lowest-scoring games released for any platform between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. Games are ranked by Metascore (as of December 18, 2021) prior to rounding, and any titles with fewer than 7 reviews from professional critics are excluded. 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.

42 #4: Taxi Chaos (PS4)

A blatant clone of Sega's Crazy Taxi, Team6's Taxi Chaos may be priced like the casual game it is, but that still might be too much to pay for a simplistic, unoriginal arcade-style racer.

“An utterly pointless spiritual successor to Crazy Taxi which adds nothing new to an ageing arcade game and somehow manages to remove what made the original so playable in the first place. A missed opportunity to improve or update the gameplay renders this instantly moribund." —PlayStation Universe
