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.

39 Troll and I (PS4)

(#5) You can play as both teen boy Otto and giant hunted creature Troll (either by swapping back and forth in single-player mode or at the same time in local co-op mode) in this action adventure game. Why you'd want to play as either one, though, is an entirely different question. Reviewers found little to see or do in what could have been an interesting wilderness world.

“Throughout, Troll and I often raises the question of just how much testing was done to spot and correct mistakes.” —Slant
