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.

43 #6: WWE 2K20 (PS4)

The yearly wrestling games from Visual Concepts and 2K rarely earn positive reviews. But 2019's installment is particularly bad, with the version released at launch in October plagued by numerous glitches—not to mention a decent heaping of pointlessness.

“Perhaps as much as anything else, we feel angry at WWE 2K20 for robbing us of precious time as we circle the swirling vortex of death. It’s completely bewildering that a game of this magnitude has been released in such a state, and whether you want to pin the blame on outgoing developers, poor management, or a rushed development cycle, there is absolutely no denying that this title needed more time in the oven. We initially wondered why 2K weren’t that keen to send us their latest WWE title, but after playing one of the highest profile flops of 2019, we’re starting to understand why.” —Push Square
