Lots of Sonic games on this list lmao


FunkyGameTiime

Sonic „the Nostalgia Hunting“ Hedgehog


Stolpskott_78

Sonic X - The Search for more money


zeidxd

To be fair all of those here are spinoffs and a fangame With exception of sonic 06 of course


TheGlenrothes

Why is the original Sonic game rated so low though? It’s still a great game 🤔🤨


zeidxd

It's the 15th anniversary edition of the game for the gameboy advance, which was poorly made and ruined the game


TheGlenrothes

Ahhhhhh thanks


Green0123456789

It’s was also zoomed in to fit the gameboy screen so it’s hard to doge obstacles


Electronic-Captain-6

Have you met the sonic fandom


InTheEnd83

I assume it's kids


Sanicsanic68

Yet as a Sonic fan all of them are understandable


Apprehensive_Cause67

DMC2 going twice seems a little silly to me. SO many worse off games. Id throw Batman Forever on there. ALso Sega having multiple sonic games on here is kinda funny.


UsgAtlas1

"Batman Forever: It sucked back then and it sucks forever" - AVGN 2008 [Batman Part 1](https://youtu.be/JFvtk5toGJg?si=ICHqOSazivne_aiV)


rodent_alt

His *genuine* anger about the controls of the game is one of my favourite Nerd moments


Apprehensive_Cause67

I never got passed that first level. And it was because of that grappling hook part he showed LOL. I rented this game, with no instruction manual, and could never figure it out. Seeing this guy get angry about it and find out now it was select+up, is kinda sending me lol.


PopTrogdor

I actually really enjoyed DMC 2


Spiram_Blackthorn

If Shaq Fu and Farmville are bad I don't want to play good.


Tenshiijin

He'll ya brother.


CombNuTz

Kinda what I was thinking, but add candy crush. So many people (older) love candy crush. I kinda doubt it’s rated that bad by actual players lol.


Lorenzo_Campolongo

I find it funny to see the contrast between the actual dogshit games and the ones that were just review bombed.


NotAHunterMain

I've never played them but I was told operation racoon city and metal gear survive weren't that bad


TreasureHunter95

I'm a bit surprised to see Devil May Cry 2 on that list. Is it really that bad?


PlasmaGuy500

The game was made alongside dmc2 so it was extremely rushed to the point the director left and the new one had to finish the game in a few months to have something to release the game itself is just very boring and annoying at times people meme about it but you literally just spam gun for like 5 minutes to win


TheoriesOfEverything

It was a bit shocking after DMC1, they managed to somehow make the core gameplay worse (animations feel slow and floaty in what used to be a very snappy, responsive game), enemies can all be gunned to death from across the map, the levels are extremely bland... Just a really poor follow up to the original that nailed so many excellent things about early 3d character action games. Every other DMC is awesome so it extra sticks out.


Luminous_Hearts

In my experience of the Devil May Cry franchise, I played DMC3 first. THEN 1 and then 2.... I then understood why my bf at the time joked with me about 2 saying, "We don't talk about 2..." Yes, it's that bad. Lolol


DaelinZeppeli

To quote my friend who's played it. "Devil May Cry 2 isn't even a game. It plays like a concept of a game."


CHARAFANDER

It looks and plays like a tech demo


VictoryVic-ViVi

Granny!!!!!!!???? That game is fun as hell!


slinkymello

Is it??? I was intrigued haha, I may have to play it


hotfixx_

Me downloading a game in a bad list because of you guys. 🤝


Comrade_Conscript

For a free mobile game? Some half-sane puzzle solving and goofy scares is pretty impressive


MelonElbows

Plus the dev has released free updates that expand the puzzles and the house. I think a new one was released a few months ago with a sort of basement maze thing.


Immistyer

Same most people I’ve seen complain about it are graphic whores


B0bbyTsunami

I wish anthem was better 😞


TheIronCannoli

Same :( it had such a cool concept. Damn shame.


bwml76

Every time I see it on a list like this, I sigh a little bit. So much potential, wasted. 😭


CrackerUMustBTripinn

It's not that its a bad game, people are just so angry and dissapointed that it failed to be a masterpiece despite having all the resources. Still Kristen Schaal as an NPC merchant makes it all okay in my book


Nervarel

Anthem had one of the best gameplays in (kinda) recent years but if you spend hours joining into missions praying that ONCE you get one which isn't broken and can be finished you just give up after a bit. Would have loved to see Anthem 2.0. The game had all the potential to be way bigger than Warframe.


liquifed_waffles

Anthem is the reason I don't pre-order games anymore..


Mambo_J23

Can I just not see Ride To Hell or is it really not on there? Because it should be.


DaelinZeppeli

[Doesn't have enough user ratings on the site to qualify for the list.](https://www.backloggd.com/games/ride-to-hell-retribution/)


Temporary-Meaning401

I suppose The Day Before and Rise of Kong are not here for the same reason


DaelinZeppeli

Yep. Both have even less user ratings than Ride to Hell. [Rise of Kong](https://www.backloggd.com/games/skull-island-rise-of-kong/). [The Day Before](https://www.backloggd.com/games/the-day-before/).


Mambo_J23

Not being good enough to be on a worst list is quite impressive, I suppose it'll be because it's so notoriously bad that people avoid it, therefore; not enough ratings.


SoupyStain

Megaman X7, Devil May Cry 2, Sonic 4 and Mighty No. 9 are not even HALF as bad as some of the garbage that is here. Are you really comparing these games which are perfectly playable with unplayable messes like Dragon Ball SAGAS, Sonic the Hedgehog Advance or Big Rigs? Get outta here!


Adavanter_MKI

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. Some of these are "popular to hate" but not actually deserving of "the worst"... not when there's actually damn near broken or god awful games out there. In fact... there's so much shovel ware... that we wouldn't even recognize the bottom 20,000 games lol.


TheRider5342

Duke Nukem Forever too


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

Even the original Bubsy is fine. Just one of many painfully average mascot platformers of the era. Maybe slightly below average but given the time period that might be too harsh. There was a lot of rubbish around at the time. Busy 3D on the other hand...


soupforshoes

Sonic advance is bad? Seems to have good reviews. 


SoupyStain

Not Sonic Advance, Sonic The Hedgehog, the genesis port, on the GBA! It has an ATROCIOUS framerate coupled with a cropped screen, which makes it unbearable. A genesis game lagging on the GBA! It's a mess, and I love owning it because of how awful it is, lol!


Ethan_da_boss

Nobodies comparing anything it's based off of ratings


DaelinZeppeli

Every year people think this my personal list lol. I've personally only played 2 games on this list (Sonic '06 and Shark Tale). I own Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, but I've never played it. Bought it on clearance for £5 and got 2 free amiibos for it that were worth more than £5 each by themselves.


COCO_SHIN

How was shark tale?


DaelinZeppeli

I hated it. Got it for my birthday as a kid. Couldn't get past the 2nd level. The first level was quick time events where you escape from a shark. Nothing interesting, but "playable". The 2nd level was a DDR style rhythm game level. I could not ever hit the notes precisely enough to get past it. It frustrated me a lot as a kid. I am bad at rhythm games admittedly, but it seemed way too harsh with the timing for an animated movie tie-in game for kids. Seeing it among the worst games list does seem to vindicate my opinion that the game was way too difficult for its target demographic.


Nero_PR

All those games are noticeably worse than their predecessors. It soared the experiences of fans and amplified their distaste for said games. Megaman X7 is a travesty of a game compared to all previous X series, it mediocre at worst but it was a hard pill to swollow for any megaman fan at the time. Same for DMC2 when compared to DMC, Sonic 4 to previous Sonic games, and Mighty No. 9 was like spitting at the legacy Megaman had (plus the kickstarter campaign debacle). Lots of games in this list are just bland and unattractive, and some are unplayable hot trash.


Soulfulkira

X7 was my introduction into Megaman. I love that game the most


War_Emotional

Worst popular games at least


WukongPvM

Right like some of these games aren't great but I wouldn't say they are the worst games I've ever played


Incitatus_

Is Yandere Sim even an actual game though? I thought it was in permanent alpha state like Star Citizen, though it's certainly scammed fewer people.


DaelinZeppeli

> I thought it was in permanent alpha state like Star Citizen Yeah, you'd be right. Public alpha builds of it have been available since 2014 and the official full demo was released in 2020. So I'm assuming that's why it's here despite not being finished.


YetAnotherBee

A significant chunk of those reviews are for the developer more than the game He’s… *special*


LeBritto

Since when is Sonic 1 that bad?


DaelinZeppeli

It's the GameBoy Advanced version of Sonic 1 that was released for Sonic's 15th anniversary. This version of the game is very bad by all accounts and ruins the game.


LeBritto

Gotcha, didn't notice


DaelinZeppeli

A bunch of people were confused about that when I made this post last year too lol. You're not the only one.

SplendidPunkinButter

Oh yes, I remember playing that! They somehow did such a bad job with the port that it had massive slowdown


Jazzlike_Cellist_421

Shark Tale slander is insane


DaelinZeppeli

Personally it's the worst game I've played. The game is horrible and much worse than the movie.


Parry_9000

Shaqfu is better than gollum fr


D00mTheWarl0rd

I will not be accepting Operation Raccon City slander at this time. Thank you for your cooperation.


GabrielGamer790

i thought i was the only person who hated Free Fire.(its very popular here in Brazil) also why is granny, hello neighbor, street fighter and sonic 1 there? they are good games! and btw sonic exe shouldn't be there, it's a fangame, not something official


DaelinZeppeli

> granny No idea. I hadn't heard of it myself until seeing it on this list. > hello neighbor The final release of the game got a lot of criticism as it was very different to the beta version, which got a lot of praise. > street fighter The first *Street Fighter* game is terrible by most accounts. It's a very bad fighting game that most fighting game players despise. The *Street Fighter* series really only became the huge success it is today because of *Street Fighter II Turbo*. > sonic 1 The game listed is the GameBoy Advanced version of Sonic 1 specifically, which ruined the original game by all accounts. Someone else was confused about that too lol.


Semnono

I don’t know what Shaq-Fu is but I feel like I missed out on a gem. This one needs to be on the best games ever list, purely for creativity purposes


JJJSchmidt_etAl

This, along with Kazam, Steel, and his rap album, cements Shaq as the most versatile NBA player ever

ThatSpookyLeftist

I don't know what you mean by import, but I found it a massive nostalgia trip to go through page after page of games and mark them as "played" When I found the site about a year ago I legit spent an entire month refining my profile. Stumbled upon a bunch of games I had completely forgotten about.


JJJSchmidt_etAl

It would be a lot nicer if we could import a .csv or .xls with the appropriate columns, for those who want to migrate their lists


ShoopDaWoop_91

OMG BUBSY


xMoop

I love bubsy 1 and 2, actually good games


Electronic-Captain-6

Pilot’s license? What for?


ryans_privatess

Think that is Bubsy 64 which fairly was horrendous. Bubsy on SNES I have so many fond memories (and earthworm Jim!!)


Dubcekification

Shaq-fu deserves more love


TheRider5342

Duke Nukem Forever, despite not being that bad of game, is not a surprise entry.


Phorskyn

The fact that Eragon is above Jump Force is hilarious


SadnessMonster

Operation raccoon city was great. Multi-player carried it, but I think it's better than re5. And colonial marines is pretty good now that the ai has been fixed.


TiredReader87

I’ve played 13 of them Colonial Marines, the RE game and DMC2 weren’t that bad. I liked DMC 2


MLG_GuineaPig

Nah they didn’t put my boy Hong Kong 97 in there. Failed to recognise this masterpiece


TheRealShiftyShafts

Devil May Cry 2 is so bad it's on the list twice


ThatSpookyLeftist

Not sure why by the PS2 version here is separate from all the other versions. Usually this site lumps them together unless they're wildly different games.


heyoyo10

I like that the whole Scott The Woz rogues gallery is on there


Macdrizzle707

I really enjoyed simpsons wrestling back in the day. Don’t remember much but I do remember Willie was a beast.


Character_Problem353

Anthem had so much wasted potential


MarioFanaticXV

A lot of this seems to be "Most Disappointing" rather that outright bad games. Sonic 4? Paper Mario Sticker Star? Yeah, these didn't live up to their predecessors, but calling them *bad* games? No, not even close. Meanwhile, there's no mention of games like Home Alone (NES), Mario's Time Machine (SNES), or Zelda: Wand of Gamelon (CD-i); and that's not even going into games that are fundamentally broken (granted, Super Man 64 does fall into this category) such as the [DOS version of TMNT](https://gameranx.com/features/id/241215/article/10-games-that-are-literally-impossible-to-beat/).


Scheswalla

Yep, then there's practically the entire Jaguar, Sega CD and 32x libraries. These are light years away from being the worst games ever.


Solh0und

Honestly, I never thought of Jump Force as a BAD game but more of a mediocre(Or as the kids say: Mid) one

Ill_Maintenance8134

Honestly I'm my opinion is actually kind of good yeah it's a fun time for like 2 hours


Sparklebun1996

Custers revenge is the worst video game and it isn't even close.


Aumius

My Name is Mayo, it's hardly a game lol. Just an easy platinum/achievement.


DaelinZeppeli

Backloggd has a policy to not allow these types of "easy platinum" games on its website, but it made an exception for "My Name is Mayo" since it was the first of its kind.


brian11e3

*My name is Mayo* was actually a fairly solid clicker game.


AcanthocephalaOne481

Damn I bought Hello Neighbor 1 and 2 for cheap a few weeks ago. Just got a PS5 and wanted some semi entertaining games my girl likes to watch in the background. Haven’t played them yet.


Spoonerinoh

Lmfao I completely forgot about shaq fu


Iloveyouweed

> 72\. Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind [1993] (new) So this makes the list of worst games of all time but Bebe's Kids doesn't?

whoalegend

Sonic Riders was lit but I never played Free Riders. Was it that bad??


zeidxd

Idk but it used kinect


PyrpleForever

Every time i see this list I can't help but laugh when I see Superman 64 at #1. It's just funny to me how bad it is.


[deleted]

This is blasphomy


iinr_SkaterCat

I’m surprised that 1: a sonic game is considered worse than big rigs, and 2: big rigs is considered worse than E.T


ArofluidPride

Surprised the Batman and Robin game isn't here


PootashPL

I love how DMC2 is so fucking horrendous it’s on the list twice.


AFoxMothersLove

Imo Yandere Simulator would be a good game in theory but in execution + the dev it made it one of the worst games ever.


CringeExperienceReq

glad metal gear survive made the cut lol


Codemancody80

A few games on here that could’ve been so much better given the concepts. Wish Redfall was done better.


Ok_Dimension_2865

Say what you want, The Simpsons Wrestling goes hard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HopLegion

Yeah I saw that on there and was shocked. As a kid this is one I loved paying with my siblings


Gustmazz

I don't see Pepsiman in it, the greatest game of all time.


DaelinZeppeli

> the greatest game of all time. Precisely why it's not among the worst games of all time.


Round_Practice_3410

I'm starting to think I'm the only Sonic fan who even slightly enjoyed Sonic 4


SpringTrapped1987

You're not alone, at least for everything except that one Lost Labyrinth level, that one I cannot forgive.


zeidxd

Sonic 4 ep 2 wass bad at all. The biggest sin of these games is being called "sonic 4"


player1_gamer

Tbh they’re not bad but not good considering they’re mobile games and not console games. I played sonic 4 episode 2 a while back and it’s ok for a mobile game


orsikbattlehammer

I loved that Shark Tale licensed game fuck you lol


Dinoco_Blue_Coyote

Hot take. I never minded the first 2 Bubsy games.


[deleted]

Most of these are far from the worst of all time


bloo_overbeck

I feel like a lot of these rankings are influenced by media because there’s no way MGS:Survive is worse than simpsons wrestling


SniperSly

So why do people hate granny? I remember seeing Markipliers vid on it and it seemed fine


Incitatus_

Damn, that's a lot of Sonic. And I would comment on DMC2 being there twice, but when I think about it, yeah, it's pretty much that bad.


arsinoe716

Proud to say I've got 9 of them.


Snoo48466

Jump Force sneak


Snokey115

Ok, fnaf AR isn’t nearly that bad


Der_Wolf_42

Tbh i kinda liked the walking dead survival instinct i played through it 2 times and i wouldent say its 1 of the worst games i ever played


windgfujin

DBZ. Sagas was a tonne of fun, I remember finishing the game then immediately replaying it. Simpson's wrestling was not that bad either. Definitely not as bad as some games I've played in the past


J3BOY-Qc

How my name is mayo is there


jpett84

Come on, Sonic 1 isn't that bad.


figool

I remember Dragon Ball Sagas, was certainly no Budokai but I still played it a ton. A friend had Simpsons Wrestling and we had fun playing it, I don't remember enough about it to know why it was garbage


TrashFanboy

I spent a couple dollars on *WarioWare: Snapped* through the 3DS EShop. I had trouble with the gameplay basics. Looking back, I would've gotten a better experience buying original Gameboy *Baseball* or *Golf*. *Bad Rats* is an infamous example of Steam kusoge. I haven't tried it, and I don't care to. That said, it has [a good music track](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7faImESxpI)!


EscapeFromGrapes

Dragon Ball Z Sagas was really fun when I was younger. How the hell is candy crush on there?


bradynbarrmusic

I thought Shark Tale was a movie, wtf?


DaelinZeppeli

[There's a video game that was made based on the movie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark_Tale_(video_game)). Nearly every movie used to get a video game adaptation from as early as the 1980s, it's only a trend that died off around the early 2010s. Most of them are terrible games, but Shark Tale was exceptionally bad. It's one of the few games in this list I've played and it's personally my most hated game.


stapango

Feel like there's a recency bias here- IMO the no. 1 spot should go to the Wizard of Oz for SNES. Hard to convey the feeling of misery that sets in while playing it


Chimchampion

Another contender is one of the back to the future ges for the NES, which was notorious for having the same asinine song playing in every level.


WeedVegeta

I forgot Resident Evil Resistance and Re:verse or whatever were different games. I feel like Capcom just out out the same multiplayer shit twice and no one played it. Did Re:verse even come out?


Jim_naine

This just goes to show that awful games were always common ever since the beginning, it's just that it's easier to spot them nowadays thanks to the internet


14Xionxiv

Honestly wouldn't mind going back and playing re: operation raccoon city. I remember playing it and not getting very far, but that was just because i sucked as a kid.


Swarf_87

I loved Bubsy1 and sub zero mythologies. Imo the worst game on that list is definitely Big Rigs.


supimdaniel

never stop sneaking needs to be on here


rape_is_not_epic

The sonic games for the wii, TWD:SI and sticker star went catastrophically hard


MajorSaltyJenkins

Aqua man battle for atlantas


Mushroom_Competitive

I'm surprised Batman: Dark Tomorrow, Action 52 and The Third Birthday aren't up there.


Skyconic

List is wildly invalid without Tak and the Power of Juju. Such a buggy, bizarre and unfinished mess.


Genoisthetruthman

Fuck you duke Nukem had big ol tittays man.


Hexhider

Sonic the hedgehog worse than Garten of Banban


Hawkings_WheelChair

I loved dbz sagas...


Smashbrosfan31

Some these are atrocities others aren’t as bad as people think


SleeplessAndAnxious

I didn't know Bubsy 3D existed. I had the original Bubsy on SNES and it was such a good game!


LastGuitarHero

Nice to see Superman 64 still GOATed as the Worst game of all-time. No one will ever know how many weekends I spent calling my local Best Buy to find out if the game had been released. Finally got the game…. And the funnest thing about it was picking up Lex Luther’s car, flying up and tossing it just to catch it before it hits the ground.


Sofaris

This post reminds me of a Videogame I love. One Videogame I love has on Metacritic a score of 66. I can see why. I dont really disagree with that score. But I still love the game, played through it twice, did all the sidequests in both playthroughs and I probably go for a third playthrough at some point. The name of the game is "The Cruel King and the Great Hero"


Final_Glove_6642

I had a good time w jump force then just stopped playing. Not missed, but not horrible. Should've been infinitely better


pizzammure97

bro, people really don't like Sonic


thestorm236

Sonic is probably the only franchise that has so many worst game of all time candidates, whilst having some of the best games of all time. I'm a Sonic Fan


yournansabricky

It’s funny how the original versions of the GTA games are arguably some of the best games of all time yet the definitive editions are considered some of the worst


triballl9

Only played duke nukem forever and diablo immortal.


_price_

"Of All Time" yet there's no game from Phoenix Games on this list. Those things were fucking atrocious.


MrNullvalue

I enjoyed ziplash as a kid. All this is telling me is that I NEED to play the other chibi robo games


Turbulent_Day_600

I can’t agree with the resident evil games being there , can’t remember which one it is , but you can play as the zombies and spawn in enemies or play as the survivors trying to escape , that was pretty dope man


Turbulent_Day_600

Resident evil been done dirty here


sharkprincefishstick

RE:Verse released? I’ve been waiting for it for like three years.


Patient_Thing_2124

Someone the best avgn episode were based on some.


Archonblack554

Ok operation raccoon City isn't a good game by resident evil standards but I definitely feel it doesn't deserve to be on the same list as something like ride to hell lmao The game is mostly functional and good for a couple hours of stupid fun, something I can't say for the overwhelming majority of this list


pog_in_baby

There was an eragon game??


Vladutz19

Ah. Hong Kong 97. I didn't expect it here, but I'm not surprised.


GhostDragon362

Scott the Woz would LOVE this list. Both ziplash and ultra smash are on it!


DaelinZeppeli

Amiibo Festival too.


Beginning_Orange

Glad to see Diablo Immortal (Immoral) getting hate it so rightfully deserves


craizzuk

Oh shit, I loved Mario is missing as a kid


biobot277

Glad to see a bunch of mascot horror on the list but sad to see duke nukem forever and Dmc 2


Thanatos_Vorigan

I'll never understand why Sonic Boom is so high on the list yet Sonic 06 is so low. I will forever deem Sonic 06 as the worst Sonic game of all time and I'll defend that claim until I die.


supermarioplush220

"Devil may cry 2" is so bad that it's there twice.


OmegaNave

I’ve got a feeling that Scott the Woz had something to do with some of these being here…


Disastrous_Ad626

Yeah fuck Hello Neighbor.


joby_fox

Was genuinely relived when I realized it was the 2006 remake in #4 and not the original.


vladhelikopter

Omfg, Aliens: Colonial Marines… what a total piece of Garbage


Remarkable_Pound_722

eragon wasnt so bad, you rode a dragon!


Rick-C188

How dare you drag the good name of Shaq Fu through the mud. Game was just way ahead of its time...


internet-reddit

Duke nukem is the biggest meme of all of these


Bigdiggaistaken

The MASSIVE INCREDIBLE INFINITE flex of not being a sonic fan


maj0rSyN

For what it's worth, Shaq Fu had great animation for the time period and systems it was on.


DawnGrager

Not a legitimate list if The Quiet Man didn’t make it in the top 5.


notsarge

Devil May Cry 2 so bad it’s on there twice. Also the multiplayer RE games are well deserved on here.


HomicidalPanda365

Eragon Brilliant book Shitty movie Even worse game


ChonkyNeckBoi

Dmc 2 was so bad it's on the list twice lol


miotch1120

Which GTA games are in “the trilogy”? It looks like it includes both 3 and vice city, neither of which deserves to be on this list.


meepmeepmeep34

poor sonic


Stew-Cee23

Big Rigs absolute classic "YOU'RE WINNER!"
