A shockingly poor attempt to make a VR military shooter, that barely seems to work in any aspect and unwittingly exposes just how limited VR gaming can be.

A deeply flawed attempt to make a cross between Warhammer: Vermintide and an old school scrolling beat ‘em-up, with dumb and repetitive combat that’s never fun even in co-op.

There are cars to unlock using a spin-the-wheel lottery style, and you win the usual variety of currencies for completing events, but at heart this is a stylishly presented car-themed rhythm action game rather than anything to do with driving. You can sign in with Xbox Live and it has Forza in its name, but that’s absolutely all this psychologically addictive but patronisingly over-simplified abomination has in common with the illustrious Xbox franchise.

The only asses that need kicking in this game are those of the developer responsible for such rubbish.

A bafflingly dull extension of a franchise that barely deserved one sequel, let alone three; with tedious mini-games and laughably bad use of the 3DS camera.

Impossibly tedious Dynasty Warriors clone that offers up not one ounce of entertainment for enduring its soul-shatteringly dull world and combat.

A terrible idea poorly realised, with a mixture of pretentious, gimmicky storytelling and banal combat that is almost awe-inspiring in the full extent of its incompetence.

The Vietnam War has never seemed so horrific in this shockingly poor first person shooter.

Even if this was free it still wouldn't be worth it.

Whatever controversy there might be about the movie, there can be little argument that this spiritless cash-in is one of the worst video games of 2016.

A hugely disappointing mess of a game that magnifies all of SWERY’s worst tendencies and fails to compensate in terms of the unengaging characters and script.

The game clearly isn’t finished and even [if] it was the lack of ambition, and budget, is painfully obvious at every turn. A sad, pathetic end to a classic games franchise.

All of it is just awful, and if it wasn’t for the name the game would’ve passed by completely without notice. So in that sense the use of the license served its purpose, because if this hadn’t been called Reservoir Dogs we wouldn’t have known to warn you about it. Although it has inspired us to go and watch the film again, so there is that in its favour…

Players who’ve been around the free-to-play block will immediately recognise Kingshot as a reskin of Whiteout Survival, which itself is identical in gameplay terms to Top War: Survival, Age Of Empires, and a host of other games cynically designed to exploit unwary players financially. Do yourself a favour and give it a wide berth.

Considering it’s half broken and patently unfinished this doesn’t deserve to be called a video game at all, just an unpromising work in progress.

SolSeraph might replicate the gameplay of the original it but doesn’t even attempt to channel the same sense of innovation and experimentation. Failing to offer any improvement or evolution of the concept is a far greater insult to its legacy than just letting the game being forgotten by history. A fate to which it is now assuredly doomed anyway.

Although the graphics are adequate, at least in comparison to the rest of the game's failings, all this is really good for is making Kinect Sports look even better by comparison.

The Destroy All Humans! franchise goes out with a whimper not a bang in this disgracefully poor sequel.

South Park already has a poor track record in video game tie-ins, but this is easily the worst yet and a terrible 2D platformer in its own right.

But perhaps the most tragic thing here is that despite a critical drubbing for each game this series has made exactly the same mistakes every time.

A shamefully poor tie-in, even by normal standards, that totally ignores the potential of the license.

Rogue Hearts is a dungeon crawler in which your hero stalks the hallways of its randomised levels smashing absolutely everything to reveal tiny, incremental quantities of gold and occasionally fighting monsters using melee weapons, magic, and a selection of special moves. Unfortunately, the dungeons are unerringly dreary, the relentless smashing of furniture, appalling translation of its turgid dialogue, and poorly explained mechanics add to an overwhelming sense of futility. To make matters even worse it monetises like a free-to-play game despite costing actual money. It’s peculiarly awful and you should on no account download this catastrophic mess.

A shameful launch of a barely playable, graphically embarrassing game that shames the memory of PES and may have killed the new franchise before it’s even begun.

This inept WiiWare download won't relieve you of any stress, just £5.60 and the will to live.

Not so much a video game as a shameful attempt to convince children to spend their parents’ money on expensive microtransactions.

Embarrassingly poor medieval brawler that seems completely oblivious to its own absurdity and incompetence.

A terrible video game and still a terrible attempt at simulating owning a farm, with unbearably boring and bug-ridden gameplay.

A bad idea poorly realised, it’s hard to argue that Kick Off has any place in the modern world and this badly made revival seems to prove it.

Another unspeakably bad platformer that beyond its more general faults seems to purposefully misunderstand the appeal of the entire Sonic franchise.

Koei’s scraping of the Dynasty Warriors barrel breaks through the bottom and into the floor below, with a cheap, lazy sequel to an already sub-par game.

One of the worst video games of the modern era, that clearly isn’t finished – but just as clearly wouldn’t be worth even a moment of your time if it was.

There isn’t even a win condition, you just keep battering back identikit waves of badly drawn enemies in small, bland maps until one overwhelms you. It’s the video game equivalent of clinical depression.

A staggeringly cynical clone of DayZ, which fails utterly on every level imaginable – and with only the most unreliable of promises that it will ever improve.

One of the worst movie tie-ins ever, which considering the competition is quite the achievement.

Broken beyond belief but also a fundamentally bad idea for a video game, with inanely shallow and repetitive gameplay - Gollum is not only the worst mainstream game of the year but of the last two generations.

With its gorgeous Studio Ghibli artwork and charmingly offbeat dialogue translation, Ni No Kuni makes its way to mobile. Sadly, that’s the end of the good news, because Cross Worlds features all the worst things about modern mobile gaming.

Disgracing the name of Alone In The Dark is just one of the many crimes committed in this hatefully frustrating, and patently unfinished, survival horror.

Cynically awful movie tie-in that is not just a terrible racing game but squanders the potential of it source material in almost criminal fashion.

The interactive equivalent of irritable bowel syndrome and one of the most bizarrely awful video games ever made.

A staggeringly inept attempt to clone Super Smash Bros. and populate it with indie characters, whose only achievement is to make you appreciate the real thing even more.

An amateurish mess masquerading as a homage to Dino Crisis, which might be defensible as a well-meaning fan project, if it wasn’t for the outrageously unreasonable price tag.

One of the worst video games ever made - brutally unfunny and monotonously inept on every level.

It’s a joylessly over-commercialised and entertainment free monstrosity.

Not only a poorly disguised mobile game but one of the shallowest Tower Defence strategy games ever.

Not only the worst PlayStation Move game but probably the worst motion-controlled title ever. Riding through traffic on a real chair would be more entertaining.

Genuinely one of the worst video games ever made, where the dry-humping sex scenes are no less confused and impotent as the rest of the gameplay.

Not just the worst game of the year but such a wretched failure of an action game that it’s in the running for the worst of the generation.

Not just a terrible video game but one conceived purely out of greed and a contempt for its audience – not to mention the hapless parents guilted into furnishing Nintendo’s coffers.

Possibly the worst Sonic the Hedgehog game ever made, which considering some of his previous lows is one of the harshest insults in gaming.

Making Mad Dog McCree look like Dead Space: Extraction is quite some feat in this awful lightgun game.

Even being paid to play it we felt we were being ripped off...Awful in almost every possible aspect, this hugely disappointing download is not just a failure as a survival horror but as a video game.

The gaming equivalent of a Reliant Robin, except with none of the character or entertainment value - just a grand tour of everything you could possibly get wrong in a driving game.

All hardware launches have their shovelware and this is the most glaringly awful for Kinect.

A virtual peep show that's tragically short on titillation, let alone gameplay or entertainment.

The era of interactive movies makes an unwelcome return with the worst acted lightgun in gaming history.

Surreally awful on almost every level, the strangest thing about Farming Simulator is how little effort it makes at… simulating farming.

One of the worst video games of all-time, although to even classify it as interactive entertainment is to flatter this most appalling of Final Fantasy spin-offs.

Almost unplayable shooter elements, with particularly poor movement and melee controls. Non-existent artificial intelligence, endless loading, frequent crashes, repetitive missions, and a general air of obnoxious self-satisfaction.
