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 Drive Girls (Vita)

(#6) The developer behind many of the Senran Kagura games returns with a not dissimilar blend of action and scantily clad anime girls. The action is a hybrid of racing and hack-n-slash (indeed, your character can transform from a human into a vehicle), but the result is far more forgettable than that sounds.

“Although Drive Girls looks like it could provide some crazy action and a charming world, it ultimately lacks in both of these categories. Instead, you're left with a subpar blend of beat 'em up combat and racing that feels like it belongs in the bargain bin.” —Video Chums
