9 Worst PC/Console Games 2020
2020 is going to be a bad year for everyone. Video games have become one of the choices for many people to free themselves from the global pandemic that is still haunting until now. This year has been filled with good games to keep you company during quarantine, but there are also many bad ones that you should avoid as far as possible.
We are now officially on the platform Tiktok! Follow our Tiktok account at @gamebrott.com to find various information and our other interesting video content.
On this occasion, we will discuss worst of the worst, a game with such bad reception that reviewers and gamers alike agree against recommending it. Here are the worst games of the year:
1. XIII Remake
Remakes and remasters are coming year after year, some are trying to revive long forgotten franchises, some are just cashgrab only take advantage of player nostalgia. XIII Remake falls into the second category.
XIII is a Belgian comic strip game released in 2003 by Ubisoft. Compared to other Ubisoft games, this game was a commercial failure but a few years later it caught the attention of players because of its unique visual style. Microids and Playmagic wanted to try to revive the franchise, but instead of making a remake that fixed many of the problems in the old version, their remake brought even more problems.
Reduced comic visual style, cinematic that looks bad, full of bugs, animation and gunplay that feels stiff, all the bad things you’d expect from a remake are in this game. Remake XIII was so bad that the developers had to make an apology to fans and blame the pandemic for the lack of it quality control of the game.
2. Fast & Furious Crossroads
Announced most recently at The Game Awards 2019, Fast and Furious Crossroads has made many people skeptical. Many see this game as a mobile game only from the visuals alone and what is interesting is that this game was developed by Slightly Mad Studios, the developer of Project Cars which is known for its photorealistic graphic quality.
At the time of its release, players’ skepticism was true. Fast and Furious Crossroads received bad reviews due to poor visuals, voice acting, and controls. This game is as if Slightly Mad Studios took a quick contract to license the game in order to earn extra money for their real project, Project Cars 3.
3. Remothered: Broken Porcelain
Remothered: Broken Porcelain is the sequel to Remothered: Tormented Fathers, the 2018 horror game that was far from perfect but enough to create a small fan community. This sequel feels like a step back from its predecessor.
Broken Porcelain is a very “broken” game. Games are full of bugs ranging from funny to emotional as they can ruin your progress. Even apart from these technical problems, this game has a very confusing storyline from beginning to end, and the confusion is not intentional to encourage players to find out the mystery behind the game’s story, but indeed a game that is not able to tell a cohesive plot.
4. Tiny Racers
Tiny Racers takes first place as the “worst game of 2020” on Metacritic. This game from Icetorch Interactive was heavily criticized for its poor gameplay and lack of quality control.
One reviewer said this game did not offer anything special and seemed like an asset flip that was done in one week without the intention or mission to make a fun game. Tiny Racer is a small example of Nintendo’s lack of concern for games entering the eShop catalog and more emphasis on quantity, the same problem Steam has had for years.
5. Dawn of Fear
Dawn of Fear is a game that tries to replicate and relive the nostalgia of classic Resident Evil, unfortunately this game is clearly made by a solo developer who is still a beginner and amateur in its execution.
This game received bad reviews for its rigid controls even compared to classic RE, a design that seems too generic due to the lack of mechanics and a unique identity of its own.
6. Airplane Mode
Those who frequently travel by plane should know how boring it can be to sit among dozens of strangers for hours on end and it makes sense if you prefer to sleep. What if the boring experience was replicated in the form of a video game? Yes, this is the whole premise of Airplane Mode.
7. Cooking Mama Cookstar
Cooking Mama Cookstar was controversial when it was released. The game is considered to have a cryptocurrency mining program because it quickly makes the Switch hot and runs out of battery. The issue was later denied and it turned out that the problem was caused by bad programming.
But the drama didn’t stop there, because of problems with the IP owner, Office Create, who considered Cooking Mama Cookstar to be below the standard they set, the game was pulled from the eShop and all physical retail versions were also withdrawn. However, several copies have been released, making the physical version of the game a “rare game”.
Apart from the controversy, Cooking Mama Cookstar is a game that you have the right to ignore. The game only offers a few minigames that are so simple that they seem like flash games or children’s mobile games that you often find on the Playstore/Appstore.
8. The Elder Scrolls: Blades
Fans know that The Elder Scrolls: Blades will be just a filler game with a very simplified gameplay, but they don’t expect this mobile game to become a game. cashgrab which forces you to “donate” money into Todd Howard’s pocket.
Critics criticized the gameplay and combat for being too simplistic and repetitive. Each dungeon is made too linear and you don’t have the freedom to execute battles. Interaction with NPCs is nothing more than confirmation of transactions and there are many features in the game that encourage players to spend money. The Elder Scrolls: Blades is a new example of mobile games that take advantage of brand recognition to lure players in and make them spend money on microtransactions.
9. Warcraft 3: Reforged
Warcraft 3 is a classic RTS game that not only deserves to be labeled as a classic, but also becomes the foundation for the birth of various new genres, especially MOBA. The remake called “Warcraft 3 Reforged” tries to bring this classic game to life, but what Blizzard does is just the opposite.
This remake brings more problems than anything new. The promised visual upgrades are not evocative at all and still look like old school PC games, the UI is still messy for widescreen monitors, the cinematics are still “cheap” and drastically different from what was promised in the 2018 preview, and this remake is much better. buggy from the original version.
To make matters worse, Blizzard has presumed to make a new rule by which user-generated content will become their property. This decision seems like Blizzard doesn’t want successful projects like DOTA to be created again where they don’t get any royalties or compensation as editor level providers, so they changed the rules so that if a new phenomenon occurs from the editor level, they will get a profit at least by taking ownership of the idea. created.
It’s not enough to make this remake just a nostalgic “cashgrab”, they also practice anti-consumer business practices that make Warcraft 3 Reforged worthy to be included in this list even though the gameplay and story are not touched.
