The 10 Worst Video Games of 2017

by Jason Dietz, Metacritic Features Editor – December 17, 2017

Above are the lowest-scoring games released for any platform between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. 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.

38 Randall (PS4)

(#3) In this side-scrolling platformer, you control the titular character, a telepath imprisoned by a totalitarian dictatorship. But perhaps developers should have exercised tighter control over their creation; reviewers find the result "buggy," "dull," and "unintelligible."

“There are very few things that Randall gets right: The platforming is sloppy, the combat is dull, the story and writing is unintelligible, and the boss fights are unbearable.” —GamingTrend
