Top 10 Worst IGN Ratings

Alien: Isolation (5.9)

This is probably the best horror game of all time. It does everything perfectly. This just proves that IGN reviewers don't understand the games they are reviewing, since the guy reviewing this gave it a 5 out of 10 because of skill issues.

If this were called Call of Duty: Alien Isolation, it would be a solid 10/10.

Best horror game of all time. Deserves 9-10.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III (9.2)

This shows how biased IGN is with Call of Duty. They gave DOOM (2016) a lower rating than this awful game, and yet this game gets a 9.2. For what? This game is awful and is very undeserving of that rating because this game has loads of flaws that outweigh the positives. If I were to rate this game, I'd give it a 4.5.

Creativity? Screw that, we got guns! A lot of guns! Haha, give it a 9.

Looking back, this game was a bit underwhelming... at least Zombies was amazing. 7/10.

Sonic Lost World (5.8)

What?! This was an amazing game! I loved the Deadly Six, the themes of courage and sacrifice for the greater good, and saving the world at all costs. The only bad thing I can say is that Tails was written horribly. Other than that, I'd say it's a solid 8.9/10.

Green Hill again?! The first levels were pretty entertaining, but after that, it just gets boring. It looks like a recreation of Sonic Xtreme. The clips are the best though. 6.5/10

Fortnite: Battle Royale (9.6)

This game is fun, but there is no universe where it deserves a score of 9.6. Mario Galaxy scored only a single point higher and was ten times better than Fortnite.

Probably one of the most overrated games ever made. Lack of originality and too repetitive... and the dances... EWW. I would say this game does a 6/10 at its best.

Probably one of the most overrated games to come out over the last decade, a feat seeing as it was released in 2018. An abundance of microtransactions for pointless skins, the loot and combat is almost entirely based on RNG and the community is just... dreadful.

Battlefield Hardline (8.0)

Battlefield is the same stupid, hard shooter that it is. This deserves a like a 4!

The Last of Us Part II (10.0)

Another example of IGN's heavy bias towards these types of games. I'd give this a much lower rating.

How is this 10/10 when the story and characters are trash! Typical IGN, giving Triple-A games good reviews.

The graphics are the only good thing. Other than that, it's so overrated!

Star Wars Battlefront (2015) (8.0)

This game doesn't deserve an 8 at all. At launch, it deserved around a 6.5.

Halo 4 (9.8)

I like this game, but I don't think it deserves that rating at all. This game was disappointing but still decent in my opinion. This game should get a 7.5.

Mass Effect: Andromeda (7.7)

DOOM (2016) (7.1)

They give this game a 7.1, and yet they give BO3 a 9.2 when this game is better in pretty much every way and wasn't a disappointment unlike BO3. I think this game deserves at least an 8.5.

It was an awesome game, and I can't wait for DOOM: Eternal! (I know I'm late.)

?

Mario & Luigi: Brothership (5.0)

?

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (6.0)

This movie used the most source material out of all the movies and gave the fans what they wanted. To say that it deserved a lower score than an awful live-action cash grab is insane. They gave Mufasa an 8.

Street Fighter V (8.0)

Naw man, you can't just pin "great game" on awful online cash grabs. That's not how reviewing works.

Pokémon Omega Ruby (7.8)

There is too much water, but counting it as a flaw is so stupid. You can take shortcuts in ORAS that make it less frustrating.

"Too much water"? Why is that worthy of appearing as a major con?

How is "Too much water" and "Too many HMs" worthy of a 2.2 point deduction!?

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (7.7)

Infinite Warfare is probably one of the worst shooters I have ever played. The multiplayer is just a breeding ground for whales as well as people who love to camp with the same overpowered nonsense on the daily. And don't get me started on the pay-to-win elements. Also, the zombies mode is just awful. The only reason why this game got any kind of praise is because of YouTubers like M3rkMusic who crank out the same content every time and defend the supply drops.

Lol, this was one of the worst shooting games I've played. The gameplay is weak, and there are so many bugs here and there. Also, lobbies take FOREVER!

Undertale (10.0)

I know people think this game's good, but this definitely isn't PERFECT.

Undertale's a fine game, but is it 10/10 material? Hell no.

This game in NO way deserves a perfect 10 at all. It deserves around a 7.5.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (4.9)

Amazing game, makes all who play it cry, and it just has spectacular music. I forever hate IGN for giving this a bad score. It was reviewed by someone who didn't even play the full game.

You're saying this is as bad as Sonic '06? A game that was beloved by many, including me, versus the dumpster fire that is Sonic '06. This is why no one trusts IGN.

This game deserves a way higher score than 4.8. Like a high 8 because it was one of the best in the franchise, and the mechanics, story, and music were all great.

Evolve (9.0)

This game in no way deserves a 9.0 because this game barely had any content at launch and, plus, this game was very disappointing. I'd give it a 6.0 at launch and a 7.0 with all the DLC.

Minecraft (PC) (9.0)

This is one of the best games ever made. Maybe some people are just too stupid to understand its full potential.

Let me just remind you, Fortnite got a better score.

This game is what reshaped the indie game scene. It deserves a TEN.

Call of Duty: Ghosts (8.8)

Well, some people are into COD: Ghosts (including the reviewer). I'm not one of them, so I don't really get the hype.

Sonic and the Black Knight (3.9)

Jurassic World Evolution (4.8)

When you look at who did the review, it turns out the said reviewer doesn't even like the simulation genre. This puts into question IGN's reviewing management. It goes to show how ill-experienced IGN could get.
Also, IGN gave JWE the lowest score the game has gotten. Everywhere else, it gets review scores of around 6 to 8.

FIFA Soccer 12 (9.5)

The gameplay is good, and the graphics were great for those years, but FIFA is always the same. Why give different ratings to the same things over and over again? 8/10

Sonic Unleashed (Xbox 360/PS3) (4.5)

IGN was really terrible with this rating. How come Sonic: Lost World got a higher score? Sonic Unleashed has magnificent graphics, entertaining levels, and wonderful music! This is totally my favorite modern Sonic game! 9/10.

A 4.5? Seriously! This game is as good as Colors and Generations. How can they give Lost World, Forces, and even Sonic '06 a higher score than this game? I'd give it a 10/10, but to be honest, it at least deserves 8/10.

This needs to be higher than Lost Worlds. How does such a great game get a lower rating than a mediocre, buggy game like Sonic 06?

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated (5.0)

This game is perfectly fine. I would say it deserves around a 7, maybe an 8. Saying this is a 5 is just biased.

What's even wrong with the game?

Grand Theft Auto IV (10.0)

A perfect 10? While this is a great game, it's not deserving of a perfect 10 because they gave San Andreas a 9.6. San Andreas deserves the perfect 10, not this one.

The Grand Theft Auto that deserves 10 is San Andreas. This is weaker than most Grand Theft Auto games. I'd give Grand Theft Auto V a 9.5.

I think San Andreas is slightly better than this entry. Fun, but more an 8 or 9 because of its heavy flaws.

WWF Raw (Xbox) (9.1)

WWF Raw was at the time much less superior to its predecessors. It had crappy weapon physics, worse graphics than WWF SmackDown: Just Bring It (which, by the way, came out a year later and was hated even then for having underwhelming graphics), slow gameplay, bad character creation, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. 4.5 at best.
