Worst games of 2018 so far

Shawn Farner: "We've elected not to dive into the massive amounts of shovelware out there. The games on this list are ones you've likely heard of, as they either come from teams that have done great work in the past, or from franchises that have received mostly favorable reviews. In a year that's already full of fantastic games, the ones we've listed here let us down, and we're calling them out."

Oh come on, Little Witch Academia CoT isn't THAT bad. If anything, New Gundam Breaker and Agony should have been on the list.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I agree fully, I also don't think Secret of Mana was that bad for a straight 3D port of an old game, especially after the patches. God, I hate how New Gundam Breaker turned out, I wanted to play that game so badly with my friend, then I got my hands on the beta and realized it was kusoge.

[Rangerman1208]

And Gene Rain as well.

[thatguyhayat]

Whats wrong with little witch academia? Secret mana was ok. We never talk about metal gear survive. That name the game nd everything associated with it doesnt exist

[DarkZane]

Secret of Mana remake doesn't belong on that list.

[chris235]

yes it does. it‘s awful to play on ps4

[Segata]

I found it mediocre. Not awful. Just meh.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

What's awful about it? People say they had alot of issues but I was fine, no crashes or anything, and the patches really fixed my major gripes. It was a straight 3D port of an old game, I was pretty happy with and really enjoyed it, but you can clearly see they didn't re-balance the gameplay.

[InKnight7s]

Dissidia NT, New Gundam Breaker.

[Rangerman1208]

Dissidia NT was meh than terrible.

New Gundam Breaker, on the other hand, not even a few amount of performance patches and free DLCs will ever convince me to like the game.

[ZeekQuattro]

Which is crazy because Gundam Breaker 3 is a great game and is available in English thankfully Its any wonder why Gundam games are struggling in America. We keep getting the worse games and releases here are few and far between.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I suppose you can add Dissidia NT, it was another game I was hyped to play until I got my hands on the beta, how could Square-Enix mess that one up so badly and create such a bland game?

[generic-user-name]

Supermassive Games were stretched way too thin. 4 games in less than 18 months was too much. Inpatient and Bravo Team suffered for it.

[jukins]

bravo team yes but the inpatient was freaky as hell i liked it.

[Profchaos]

I brought bravo team for the sole purpose of buying the aim controller I think sony knew that and sold the bundle much cheaper than the far point bundle. Tried to pay through it 4 times know I get bored after the heli leaves you on the bridge

I then went straight to the bargain bin and got far point for $20 it's criminally under rated

[Rangerman1208]

Gene Rain needs to be on the list. That game was so ofensively terrible, I would have forgiven all of its flaws if it wasn't priced at $25. I could easily just get myself Uncharted 4 or Gears of War Remastered, two superior cover-based third person shooters, for just $20.

Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed with Seven Deadly Sins Knights of Britannia (and Bandai is still yet to even give out word about the DLC characters).

[KillBill]

Terrible list.

[UltraNova]

So list your own...

[Profchaos]

Was the inpatient really that bad?

[jznrpg]

No it wasn’t bad

[Profchaos]

I've been thinking about picking it up on the winter sale psn is running

[Neonridr]

according to the majority of reviews, yes. But those are just opinions of others. Maybe you would like it, but the general consensus seems to be that it wasn't that great.

[rob-GP]

It depends - if you like jumpscares then you'll like the game. It's pretty much jump after jump for the first hour or so then the final part is creepy as you walk around after the other people. I wouldn't say it was a 'terrible' game, I think people were just expecting more from the studio.

If it was released as an indie game from an unknown developer then it would probably have been praised. Just like if Zelda Breath of the wild wasn't based on zelda and released by another studio, it would have been called out for being baren with poor performance on launch and a crappy weapon breaking mechanic.

The name of the studio always alters peoples expectations and perceptions.

[rob-GP]

I have a feeling most of the games on the list were based on a quick search online or something? I actually enjoyed the majority of the games you posted as the worst games. I can think of many games which turned out to be bigger failures and lost all their player base within days. Why not look over on the Xbox side and take a loot at SOD and SOT? Both games are pretty much dead now.

[Flewid638]

Just because you enjoyed these games doesn't mean the general consensus did. That's why they are on the list.

There are unpopular games I like too.....doesn't change the fact that they're unpopular. lol.

[andron]

But it says Worst games, not unpopular or bad games...

Where are Past Cure, Agony or Extinction? Those will probably be up there when worst game of the year is decided...

[Flewid638]

Bad, unpopular, worst, crappy......feel free to use whatever applicable synonyms you like.

Point is, sometimes I like things that many people don't.....and when I do, I'm aware of it. lol.

[sampsonon]

opinions

[andron]

Ha, pretty mediocre some of these titles. But I think there are worse games out there right now. You might want to check out Gene Rain when it comes, it looks baaad... https://store.steampowered....

[Dragonscale]

Seems they forgot a certain pirate game and zombie game lol.
