Each and every year, we like to subject ourselves to a special form of torture: diving headlong into a pool of abhorrent box art. Like Scrooge McDuck, we paddle through this bottomless vault of crappy imagery and incoherent portraits, searching for the absolute worst of the bunch. And let us assure you, dear reader, we've found the most repugnant cover art 2015 had to offer. These pieces of "art" turned stomachs and burned the eyes of all who beheld them - and according to Amazon, the majority of this shovelware was released last year. Hey, if it's the reputation of Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos on the line, who's to argue?
They say you should never judge a book by its cover, but when that cover makes you burst out laughing uncontrollably, there may need to be an exception. We're not saying that's definitely going to happen here, but… Well, actually, it probably is. Sorry.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "You know what? I’m not even mad this time around. I’ve stated already that 2022 was actually a pretty good year for gaming. It was stupidly hard removing so many excellent games from out Top 20 list, to the point we had an entire 20-game list of honorable mentions alone. Likewise, we didn’t review such a huge number of bad games this year. It’s not that we weren’t reviewing enough games (have you read the site’s name?), there just weren’t that many stinkers in this otherwise fantastic year.
But boy oh boy, when something bad knocked at our door, it was bad. It was really B to the A to the freaking D. It’s time for our team to bury these games once and for all. We present you, the twenty worst games we’ve reviewed in 2022."
Lol, I like this idea of an anti GOTY award :p
And my god, there are some terrible entries there.

Good to see Nintendo isn't above well deserved criticism.
I dont know if Gun Grave deserves to be in the same mix as the others on the list. Its rather safe but it has its charm. As a fan of the originals, I can dig it. Im not seeing it as something revolutionary but evolutionary, hence why I said safe (as in it didnt take many risks to stray from the source). Its okay, but nowhere near being on the list of worst.
TGG says: "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? has a charm to it and can be fun with friends locally but is a bit of slog at times too."
“Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? is a middle-of-the-road trivia game that's so full of padding that it becomes boring fast. I can only recommend it to kids but even then, I doubt that many youngsters will have the patience to sit through a whole game.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
lol the comedy with how true this is hahaha When you think about it, games cant afford to have bad box art, that's what catches someone's attention x)
