30 Soda Drinker Pro

Easily the worst beverage-drinking simulation released for any console in 2016, Soda Drinker Pro is an Xbox One port of a 2013 PC game. In either incarnation, it's intended as a joke, but critics are quick to point out that it's one that isn't worth shelling out $10 for, especially when you can simply watch the free launch trailer to appreciate it. (Even Vivian Clark, a second, secret game hidden within that joke, is problematic.)

"Soda Drinker Pro is a humorous concept and while entertaining in theory, after one minute of playtime you'll have experienced all that's on offer." — Windows Central
