Top 10 Worst Video Games of 2017

The Top Ten
1 Star Wars Battlefront 2

My jaw dropped like a rock when I saw the User score for this game on Metacritic. It's literally one of the worst scores of ANYTHING on the internet. This game is typical EA, though. They will find the most ridiculous ways possible to milk you of your bank account.

With a current average user score of 0.8/10 on Metacritic after over 4,000 ratings, this is easily one of the worst-rated, if not THE worst-rated game in history. Why? Because the whole game is a microtransaction-driven scam, designed and sold purely out of greed.

Terrible gameplay, incredibly bad story, and just piss easy. Its incredible how pandemic battlefront 2 was made twelve years ago and kicks this one ass

There was a lot of excitement for this game and I do enjoy it for a gameplay standards but the way EA have been acting stealing my wallet I don't know.

2 Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back

What could possibly go wrong?

Well, this whole game for being bland and short, the fact that it ripped off Mario and Sonic, and the fact that it came back after 20 years which NO ONE asked for.
This is probably like a $5 game, NOT 30.
Bubsy, please go back into your grave. It's better than making yourself look much worse than you already are. Then again, there is no way you can compare to the famous plumber and the famous blue blur.

Bubsy's new pose is literally a rip-off of Sonic's pose. Trust me, I saw on Twitter when one guy edited the picture of Bubsy and moved his arm from side to side in a similar fashion to Sonic. Expect critics and audiences to tear this game apart. What could possibly go wrong?

For an attempt to bring back Bubsy, this one just fails. It gets basic characters traits wrong, the art style is really off-putting, there are noticeable frames missing, the main plot is lacking, and the humor doesn’t really work. With a game as horrible as Bubsy, I expect a game like this to be at least a little better than this.

I thought it would be cool if they revived a bad character and maybe made a mockery game, but no. Bubsy 4 is just as bad the old games.

3 Mass Effect: Andromeda

Boring, predictable, unfinished POS made by a bunch of anti-white SJW snowflakes because their rabid fanbase of perverts wanted a continuation to an overrated franchise that died in it's third installment. Easily one of the worst games ever made; glad to hear Bioware Montreal finally bit the dust.

By far the worst. this is literally the worst videogame that has ever been produced and it manages to stink the most when its compared to other bad videogames. It's just so horrible that you can only throw it into a trash can instead of playing it, This game is not even worth pirating.

It's sad to know that this is a part of an incredibly successful series. The whole game just felt entirely empty in terms of story, which was once the main strength of the Mass Effect games.

Now this is just a big middle finger to the fans of the original Mass Effect series.

4 Destiny 2

Much like the first Destiny, D2 features good controls, nice graphics, an okay loot system, and a great soundtrack. But it squanders these improvements with a bland storyline, a downgraded weapon system, a horribly boring PVP mode, and a terrible first expansion. It has gotten a little better, but its certainly no must buy.

Not that bad of a game but the expansion thing ruins it.

It hurts to know a good game like this is on this list.

The worst dlc of all time, I hate it

5 1-2 Switch

God, and I thought Knack was a bad starter game. Why did they make a game that adults can't take seriously because you're literally jerking off the controller

IT DESTROYED WARIOWARE! I know I sound like a fanboy, but I grew up playing Smooth Moves on the Wii! THIS game destroyed my childhood!

I know I'm going to sound like a fan boy when I say this but, it should've been WarioWare!

Gives warioware the middle finger and IT COSTS SO MUCH

6 Fortnite: Battle Royale

Ok Fortnite is not a bad game.

I am a fan of fortnite, but I am not a mega fan.

here are some reasons why it's the best

1. Popularity/Rise of smaller youtubers/streamers such as ShotgunPlays, Ninja, Lachlan was directly related to this game.
2. It is one of the biggest computer ESport games we have gotten in years.
3. It is actively taking criticism and suggestions and adding them into the game.
4. It has luck elements, but it is mainly based around skill.

Common Arguements on why its bad

1. Its overrated.
Overrated does not equal bad. It means it is overly liked, would you consider GTAV and Smash Ultimate bad because they are overrated?
2. Too many micro transactions.
Are those required, it is a free to play game, and the micro transactions are for virtual currency for skins and dances, things that do not affect gameplay at all.
3. It's a kids game
Oh my god I see this too much. Because it's a kids game does not make it bad, ...more

It stole everything including players. just throw this dumb as game into the dump, as I would much rather watch grass grow than have this no brainer game in my sights. seriously stop playing this game, it is the worst video game of all time. just instead of playing this play Minecraft, as Minecraft is the best game ever. seriously Fortnite stole dance styles, video game ideas from games and even players from games that actually are now that you think about it, pretty good. I mean hopefully this game falls faster than a 100 ton weight dropped from 10 kilometers, and speaking of which I hope, said weight falls on the game and destroys it. this game has corrupted otherwise good youtube channels, even if they have one video on it that goes for 30 seconds, because even 0.1 seconds of gameplay there is too much. this game 100% deserves to be number one not just on this list, but in the list of worst games in total.

I absolutely without a doubt LOATHE Fortnite, I just want at least a single day of school where an annoying kid doesn't say FORTNITE, also even worse, are those FARTnite jokes. They're so cringeworthy, if a kid asks me to play Fortnite, I won't ever be their friend. No one cares if you win Fortnite, I hate this game more than Bubsy.

Fortnite may just be one of the most overrated games of all time. The game has captured millions of innocent children into playing a game where you run around and kill everyone. It has caused millions of parents valuable time with their children, with the only interactions being “When is the meal ready” and “I WANT V BUCKS”. I understand that some people being ok with some kids playing the game, but the main problem is that the game ENCOURAGES violence. I have seen a high amount of aggressive activity in kids who enjoy this pointless game. This game is the reason why the next generation may be the worst generation ever, because of ignorant parents allowing their kids to play a game which encourages bad sportsmanship (emotes) and violence.

7 Metal Gear Survive

This Game Ugh Just Ugh

8 Frenzy Pop: A Emoji Movie Game

This game is just a lame ripoff of candy crush and not even good and the fact it's the emoji movie the game makes it the 2nd worst game of 2017 and one of the worst of all time

A ripoff of a ripoff.
Funny how the Bejeweled games are much better.

9 Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Mega Battle

Angry Joe gave this a 1/10, and I will have to agree with him on this one. The dodgy hitboxes on enemies make even trying to defeat the smallest of them painful. Not only that, but the final boss is painfully lame, where the cool sword fighting is just quick time events. To make matters worse, the Power Rangers theme, which could have been extremely good, is on a 30 second loop all the time whenever music is programmed, yes in most stages there is literally no music when there should be. So yeah, this is an awful game and is overpriced even at 15 dollars.

Oh yeah I remember when Angry Joe played this. It's one of the laziest and most ridiculous games you could pay money for. It looks and plays like a flash game you can find on the internet, and yet, there are even flash games that are better than this.

The only good thing I can say about this game is that it does a better job of capturing the 1990's nostalgia than Dean Isrealite's 2017 reboot that ripped off "The Breakfast Club". That's it. There are far better ways to relive your childhood than playing this garbage.

I have never heard of this game, but why make a lazy game? On an Xbox One, especially. in my opinion, I have never even played the game, but this is completely B-rated bull. Only a 7-year old would find this appealing.

10 Club Penguin Island

Unlike the original game, being a member in CPI is borderline mandatory. You can't do quests, buy items, use certain objects in the overworld, play certain minigames, or really do ANYTHING unless you buy a membership.

Should be at number one!

The Contenders
11 Super Lucky's Tale

The game looks like its aimed at REALLY young kids, but seems to be trying to be like an old Rareware game. What kid is gonna remember that?

This is the reason why no one buys xbox exclusives this is a bland platformer that we got instead of a banjo kozooie or conker sequel instead we got a crappy vr exclusive sequel that doesn't requires vr

Cuphead is a much better xbox exclusive than lucky or even yooka laylee witch came out 6 months ago

12 FIFA 18

Worst game I've ever played in my whole life!

A massive stupidity of gaming.

It's the same thing as 17

More fifa crap

13 Halo Wars 2

Microsoft studios ran out of ideas! Why did they even make a sequel?

I seriously forgot this game existed

Finally, Call Of Duty Is Not Number One

14 Gran Turismo Sport

I have to agree heavily with SelfDestruct here. This was also one of my most anticipated games of the year next to Project Cars 2, but I was very disappointed at its release. Regardless of its amazing graphics and fun online, this game has a very limited offline. The car choices are garbage. There's literally only one car that was made before 2009 and there are too many concept cars taking up the slots. There is no career mode, just a "campaign mode" that gives you random challenges that don't last or aren't built for the moments. The track selection is also ridiculous as most of the slots are taken by multiple versions of a single location. GT Sport is by far the worst GT in the series. If you want a good racing game for the PS4, get Project Cars 2. The racing customization and 50+ tracks in the game make endless possibilities in custom race mode and even though the car count is similar to GT Sport, it's much more diverse, featuring GT, Rallycross, Indy, old school Indy, Nascar, and ...more

The sad thing is this was one of my most anticipated games of 2017. And what Polyphony delivered was spectacular graphics and intense online but with extremely limited offline (the offline was actually one if Gran Turismo's Staples and to see it being thrown away is a big mistake) and car slots wasted on Vision GT cars and same cars with different body kits, which is also a big deal considering that the car list at launch is rather small at 160 something cars. Will the 400-car free DLC redeem this game for its flaws? I have no idea at this point.

I hate how people are always talking about how the reason ps4 exclusives are on the list is because of xbox fanboys. I play on ps4, but I wish I were on xbox because of Sony's horrible fanbase.

Why put it here? This is the best for me. I don't care what people say. People who hate these are either impatient kids or xbox fanboys.

15 Doki Doki Literature Club!

Excuse me Johnny?! This game is a masterpiece and you know it! "Cancer in a disc" huh?! WELL THEN PLAY THE GAME INSTEAD OF INSULTING IT YOU DUMMY

Laughably easy to spoil and if you already know what happens there is nothing scary about it.

Cancer in a disc

16 Scalebound
17 Shenmue III

It isn't even out yet and people are voting this.

18 Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3
19 Sea of Thieves

Its not even out yet

20 Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

This game may become a lot better once it expands like MvC3 did. For now though, it's quite a disappointment

Bad storyline.

It should havw gotten expansions that improved it like MVC3 did

Worst graphic

21 Just Dance 2018

God Just Dance should stop existing, there are so many cringeworthy songs, they were welcome when the year it was released was full of songs I just simply enjoyed.

They win in kids choice awards every year even though they are the same thing every year just with increasingly horrible music.

A game that literally fools you into exercising, features some of the worst and cancerous pop songs, while making some of the best 80s pop songs look bad, and the exact same gameplay as the last one, PLUS UNECESSARY DLC!

God, I miss Guitar Hero...GH Live doesn't count...

Just Dance is still for the Wii?

22 ELEX

Overhyped SP RPG. If you were a fan of the Gothic series, you will probably enjoy it, or be more forgiving of it's shortcomings, than players new to the title. graphics and animations seem almost a decade behind current offerings. The visuals and environments are nice but certain areas, cutscenes and textures appear overly blocky and flat (post processing appears absent). the Voiceovers (in the English language) are monotonous and mostly devoid of emotional weight, as well as audio hiccups that make environmental effects way too loud. The combat is really a hit or miss kind of thing, regardless of abilities or tactics. timing your attacks has more effect than actually trying to engage enemies tactically. The player movement and animations are somewhat forgivable but when combined with the loot detection mechanic, makes it really frustrating to find items when simply turning your character then requires you to adjust your camera angle to relocate the item you wanted to pick up.

23 NBA 2k18

If you just want the single-player experience, just pick up 2K16. If you want multiplayer, pick up 2K17 and enjoy it while you can. These money hungry bastards only want their fans to not have a brain and look the other way at EA, who is desperately trying to improve their games every year. Don't get this game, it's almost identical to 2K17 in every single way.

They're putting way too much into these video games. That's why I play Madden a lot more than NBA. 2K destroyed WWE, and now they're just going to make NBA less enjoyable. I had a very boring experience the first time I put the disc in for this.

Same crap every year. I mean, I enjoy the NBA games but I don't need one EVERY YEAR.

Overhyped garbage

24 South Park: The Fractured but Whole

I just didn't like the fact that this game was not as long as Stick of Truth.

Really disappointing sequel. Barely funny, battles are all too long, except Mysterion, all buddies are weaks and forgettables.

South Park: The Stick of Truth was much better.

25 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

How the heck are you supposed to make a list of these games haven't even been released yet?

This game is trash! There’s frame rate drops and the bosses are bland. It was a waste of my money!

Just kidding. I love this game. It shouldn’t be on this list
