WTMG's Leo Faria: "There was never a moment prior to Totally Spies!: Cyber Mission‘s release when the game didn’t look like it wasn’t going to be a mess, but at the very least, I was expecting for it to be somewhat tolerable as a solo experience. It’s not a fun co-op game, and it’s downright disastrous if you decide to play it by yourself (which, let’s face it, you will, you won’t convince anyone else to join you in such ordeal). Poor controls, performance and visuals are just additional droplets of salt on top of this wound. I guess that, if you’re a really big fan of Totally Spies, you will be able to find some entertainment out of this game, but that’s a big stretch. For anyone else, I cannot recommend it at all."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "We know that negativity catches people's attention, and that there will always be a lot of bad games released in a specific year, but 2024 was a weird case. It was actually really hard to come up with a list comprised of twenty lowly-reviewed titles published over the past twelve months, and we even had to stretch the minimum requirements of what is even a "low score" in order to even be able to come up with such a list.
Maybe WayTooManyGames became too kind? Did we just avoid reviewing what was really bad, out of sheer reflex? Maybe it was just a mere case of fate, of us not being put in front of what was actually stinky in 2024. Or maybe, just maybe, and that's what we are hoping for, games are starting to come out of the convenyor belt at a decent state. There were lots of disappointing titles released in 2024, as well as purely mediocre outings, but truly bad stuff? Not a lot, to be honest.
As a result, we do not have dishonourable mentions this time around. Some of the games in this list actually have one or two redeeming factors. Some of you might even say they are not bad, and we'd understand some of the cases. Well, we'd weird the hell out if you said that about the actual bottom feeders of this list, but hey, opinions and whatnot. Without further ado, let's give these unfortunate 2024 contenders a moment to "shine" for the last time."
The Gollum Award 2024 nominations are: Starfield DLC, Dragon Age, Dragon's Dogma, Concord, and Suicide Squad.
