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 #5: Past Cure (XB1)

Critics diagnosed plenty of incurable ills in Phantom 8's supernatural stealth-shooter-thriller centering on a semi-sane protagonist, finding the result incomplete and lacking polish.

“Past Cure wants to be something great, and that ambition is the only thing it has on its side. This is a game that is flawed to its core. The mangled story and shoddy design prevent any single aspect from ever sticking out as something special. Don't even risk taking a bargain bin flier on this one. You'll only end up frustrating yourself.” —Destructoid
