by Jason Dietz, Metacritic Features Editor – December 16, 2019

Above are the lowest-scoring games released for any platform between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019. 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.

40 #4: Contra: Rogue Corps (Switch)

Konami's attempt to revive its run-and-gun shooter series Contra after an eight-year absence fell flat with critics, who felt that it deviated too much from Contra's formula and failed mightily on execution. Reviews were slightly less terrible on other platforms. Slightly.

“The worst Contra game ever made and an object lesson in how not to revive a classic franchise, especially as there are multiple unofficial homages that are far superior.” —Metro GameCentral
