by Jason Dietz, Metacritic Features Editor – December 18, 2016

Below are the lowest-scoring games released for any platform between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016. Games are ranked by Metascore 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.

40 Ace Banana
