It was the best of all games, it was the worst of all games. 2021 was another year that we flocked to our game consoles and computers to seek shelter from the virus-infested world outside. While there were many good games to play that year, there were also some that were so bad that they made everything even more terrible. Let’s scratch the bottom of the Metacritical Tap and see what we dig up.
Steal a mantra from one of mine Favorite movie podcastsit’s okay to like a video game. Just because at least seven outlets that were rated as noteworthy by a popular review summary website voted these games poorly doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them. It just means that otherwise your friends and family will hate you, you will never find love, and you will die alone.
Without further ado, here are the five games with the lowest Metacritic average ratings of 2021.
5. Of bird and cage | Score: 44 (PC)
“Imagine music brought to life,” the trailer begins Of bird and cage. According to Metacritic, this is where you should probably just stop instead of playing that weird two hour metal album in the form of a narrative adventure. As Screen rant to put it simply, “Just because a game is unique doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth playing.”
4th Taxi chaos | Score: 42 (PS4)
In the immortal words of our own Zack Zweizen: “forgiveness Crazy taxi Fans, Chaos taxi is not it. ”Developer Lion Castle tried, but using the word“ crazy ”in your marketing will not associate this flop with the Sega classic.
3. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earth Blood | Score: 42 (PS4)
Oh come on, the first big game based on that World of darkness Role play Werewolf: The Apocalypse Attitude can’t be that bad. I heard a guy call it stupid fun. Well, that guy was an idiot. The best thing about this game was Turn players into dogs. Otherwise the whole game was a dog.
2. Balan wonder world | Score: 36 (change)
Now it hurt. I had so big hopes for this quirky project by Yuji Naka, the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog and Nights in dreams
