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 Dying: Reborn (PS4)

(#4) Though it has some decent puzzles, this horror adventure game has few other signs of life, according to critics. And the PSVR version is even worse than the conventional edition, thanks to a reduction in the amount of content.

“Despite its interesting puzzles, DYING: Reborn struggles to be much more than a poor example of horror; the scares are few and far between, the plot and its characters are horribly played out and given how generic it can frequently be, it’s alarming how seriously it takes itself.” —God Is a Geek
