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.

36 #8: Hollow (Switch)

Critics were certainly left feeling empty after playing this space-based horror game that earned a few points for ambition and style but quickly threw out any of that goodwill with slow, buggy gameplay.

“It's a B-grade Dead Space clone that follows the 'rules' of horror without actually understanding any of them. Sure, it's a good thing that developers want to continue that 'horror in space' tradition of Dead Space, but this team simply wasn't up to the task. On any level.” —Digitally Downloaded
