And just when you think it can't get any worse, the Nerd busts out the baddest of the bad - Bible-themed games on the CD-i! How developers Color Dreams were inspired to turn this into a Christian game defies common sense.

Wrap your head around that one! After that, we've got Sunday Funday, a religious rehash of Menace Beach, a game where you play as a skateboarder who's trying to save his girlfriend from gangsters before she gets stripped naked. Instead of watching heart-warming Christmas specials, he's playing some more bad games of biblical proportions, and the strange Christian-themed games just keep coming!įirst up is Noah's Ark, developed by Contra developers Konami and released in 1992 for the NES. There are plenty of times when a developer had all the chances in the world to pull a project together and simply failed to do so, by nobody's fault but their own.It's the most wonderful time of the year. Generally, the games seem unfinished, lack the basic elements of an enjoyable gameplay experience, and feel as though they were thrown together by developers who had no passion for the project and/or were forced to work on it under rushed, limiting conditions. When a game reaches the status of being among the worst of all time, there's little ambiguity. On a gamer-to-gamer basis, a game might not click for a variety of reasons, some of which are difficult to define. There are some people out there who might have a fondness for Metacritic's worst games of all time, but they're undeniably for a niche audience at best. However, there are a relatively small percentage of games that are truly and objectively bad. The internet is fond of reducing all video games to being either awesome or terrible. That seems like an award-winning score compared to the Metacritic worst games of all time, the ones that never even hit a 25 on the scale of 1 to 100, the worst of the worst in the video gaming world.

The game considered the worst of the year at Metacritic was The House of the Dead remake, and it still managed to break 50 on the ratings scale. In 2022, there have been some games that received bad reviews, but none came close to landing on the Metacritic worst games of all time list.

With the next-generation systems allowing developers to make some great video games, there are still those that fall short.
