A low budget shooter with unbelievably dumb AI, rather ugly visuals (even though it uses Unreal Engine 3) and ridiculous dialogues. [January 2012, p.64]

Underworld Ascendant is a disgraceful mess in terms of both design and execution. [01/2019, p.85]

Umbrella Corps’ metascore suggests that it’s one of the worst games of this generation, but if you look past its low budget and bugs, you’ll see a fresh, unconventional shooter brimming with brilliant small innovations. [09/2016, p.52]

Only a madman could pay a full retail price for this game. [September 2012, p.79]

Tamarin reeks of low budget and complete lack of creativity. How is it even possible that people who once worked at Rare (where they made Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country, among others) developed such a sad, awful mess? [12/2020, p.73]

Dear Kung Fu Factory, please try harder next time, because you showed some potential, but I had to look for it through a microscope. [13/2013, p.73]

Don’t expect to learn anything from Super Seducer. It’s so dumb and cringey it sometimes gets funny and it’s really hard to view it as anything more than a tasteless parody. [05/2018, p.55]

Developers did all they could to diversify the gameplay but Rambo remains a simple game that quickly becomes repetitive and boring. [04/2014, p.63]

eFootball 2022 in its latest version (1.0) shows some occasional glimmers of former PES glory, but it is still painfully far from being a full-fledged game, both in terms of features and gameplay, which is ruined by sluggishness, weak AI, poor animations and questionable physics.

I can’t believe the studio behind Project CARS and Need for Speed: Shift developed such an atrocity. I guess this is what happens when you’re assigned a laughably tight budget, have to spend half of it on voice acting by movie stars, and the publisher wants the game to imitate a triple AAA title. [10/2020, p.93]

If you’re not a fan of the original Cartoon Network series, don’t bother with Omniverse 2, as the game is worse than its predecessor. [02/2014, p.59]

Instead of giving the series a new life the developers buried it and the patches are a classic case of ‘too little, too late’. There’s a lot of things you can forgive this game but not the fact that it’s boring. [02/2014, p.58]

I had an impression that the developers intentionally butchered Tony Hawk’s classic formula in every way imaginable. For the last couple of years Activision has been trying hard to finish this series off and it seems it finally succeeded. [12/2015, p.58]

Sadly, it’s not the “so bad it’s actually fun” case. Postal 4: No Regerts is a monstrosity sloppily stitched together from terrible jokes and numerous bugs. The game was testing my patience every step of the way and I could almost hear it scream in my face: “The past is now, old man! Thanks for your money, loser!”.

I honestly don’t know why someone thought Shaq Fu needs to be reborn and how the word “legend” fits the picture. [08/2018, p.86]

I admit I was fooled by the marketing campaign and hoped for an indie survival horror gem. Stray Souls turned out to be a nightmare but for completely different reasons than I expected. It’s an extremely poor game that should have never seen the light of day and I’m flabbergasted that no one – neither the developers nor the publisher nor the investors – said THAT’S ENOUGH at some point.

An inexperienced team made some simple mistakes in Hoodwink, but well written, funny dialogues are accompanied by cleverly designed puzzles. [September 2012, p.78]

An apology is in order to everyone who fell for the promises on Kickstarter and paid for this ruin of a game. [11/2013, p.76]

It’s been ages since I’ve seen a shooter so awful. Ridiculous physics, horrible animations, practically non-existent enemy AI, and guns lacking a punch are just some of the remake’s transgressions. Believe me, it’s a really, really bad game. [01/2021, p.81]

Despite mediocre graphics, terrible animations and countless other defects at first I thought that Wild West Online has some potential. It does not. It quickly revealed itself as awfully boring and hollow. [07/2018, p.62]

They said: ‘It’s the worst game of 2018. Don’t play it, just watch it on YouTube’. I didn’t listen. And I should have. [13/2018, p.86]

I suspect that if I took the ridiculous money needed to buy Raven’s Cry and instead spent it on a crate of pins, chewed them all up, swallowed them, followed up with salt, washed everything down with lemon juice and then excreted, I would have as much fun as I had in the Caribbeans by Reality Pump. [04/2015, p.52]

It has a certain old school charm and a couple of really good ideas, but it's also rather ugly, repetitive and tiring. [April 2012, p.82]

To keep thing short and sweet – Postal III is a bad game. [March 2012, p.52]

After a couple of hours spent with Fellowship of Evil I deleted my account on Steam, sold my PC, ran away into the woods and never came back. And when I came back I was still screaming. [01/2016, p.62]

An unforgivable defamation of the FlatOut series. [February 2012, p.66]

Put the pedal to the metal and drive away as far as possible from this atrocity. [CD-Action 08/2013, p.82]

Lacks in every possible way and looks like an alpha version in need of two more years of development. [08/2015, p.57]
