by Jason Dietz, Metacritic Features Editor – December 14, 2018

Above are the lowest-scoring games released for any platform between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. 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.

34 #3: Fantasy Hero ~unsigned legacy~ (Switch)
