Top 30 WORST Games of All Time

No developer sets out to make a bad game. Circumstances come together in various ways, whether due to plans changing, delays, engine troubles, unsuccessfully aping other franchises or not understanding what makes for an enjoyable experience.
Whatever the case, there have been some awful titles throughout gaming history, some recent and others stretching back several years. They could be terrible horror games that aren't scary or trying to rip off P.T. to little success; adaptations of movies and television that falter in every single way, from gameplay to story-telling; or, in the rare circumstances, a misleading early access title that's a borderline scam, with its developer mysteriously shutting down a few days later.
Check out our top 30 picks for the worst game of all time.

"Worst games of all time" *Proceeds to not list any games older than 7th generation.*

[@jacksonteller3973]

yeah can't take this list seriously, ain't no way in hell Crossfire X is worse then Superman 64

[@Felix-Sited]

Yeah, what's all that about? This really is not the 30 worst games 'Of All Time'.

[@TheG3neralLee]

It’s called click bait

[@Felix-Sited]

@@TheG3neralLee You're click bait.

[@brendanroberts1310]

You could make the whole list with 8 bit micro games.

[@KittyKatt_Luna80s]

If it's supposed to be "of all time", you need to include MUCH OLDER games. ET? Bubsy 3D? Big Rigs? Superman 64? Where were they?

[@cesarcruz6947]

Please remove the "All Time" from the title. No E.T, no Superman 64, no MK Special Forces....so this is a weak list at best!

[@jeremywilliams5141]

Yeah. Where's Pac-Man for the Atari 2600? Where's Batman: Dark Tomorrow? What about Drake of the 99 Dragons?

[@maxxximum_productions]

"of all time" might not exactly be the right title of this

[@DariuszBlasi]

"mindless zombie A.I." .....what? :D They ARE....zombies :D

[@Tompalino80]

True, true 😁😂🤣🫶

[@jeroanttonen3317]

…of all time? Pretty limited timeline full of never heard games.

[@rundown132]

ET isnt even on here lol

[@imdavidbaby]

Ikr almost every game on this list is from 2K10 & up lol.

[@LeProphic]

Games like Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood, Diablo Immortal, Balan Underworld, and Mighty No. 9 might be disappointing, underwhelming, just plain bad, etc., but among the worst games of ALL-TIME? That's just silly.

[@thejimmyp]

Let me get this straight: "of All Time" actually means "the last 15 years". I guess the NES, SNES, Ataro 2600, 5200, 7800, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, TurboGrafx 16, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Gameboy, GBA, Playstation 1 and 2, Xbox, Neogeo, and any other system i missed feature zero games that couls be considered the "Worst Games of All Time." Good to know

[@togzus]

I love looking at this list of old systems. I had the turbographx16, Sega master system. The Commodore Vic-20 and Texas Instrument computer. Game recognize game.

[@Estorium]

CDi, Virtual Boy, 3DO, Atari Janguar...

[@Estorium]

Magnavox Odyssey, CalecoVision, Sega SG-1000

[@Blinker485]

[@Xifihas]

Ride to Hell Retribution: "The OG worst game ever made" ET, Bubsy 3D, Superman 64: Are we jokes to you? This list is pathetic. Written by a literal child.

[@akiira69]

ET almost killed the video game industry with its release. It was Nintendo with its brilliant move to rebrand its Famicom system as the NES or Nintendo Entertainment System that saved it.

[@jetla22]

[@RPC87]

Mighty No.9 was not that bad. It just wasn't what people expected. Underwhelming yes, but Megaman always had bad voice acting and bad performance. Mighty No.9 is a speed run game. And the end boss battle was lots of fun, almost sigma MMX fun

[@langleymneely]

Respectfully how on Earth do you title this 30 worst games of ALL TIME and only have games from the last 15 years? Im sorry I get that it’s a subjective list but I cannot respect a list that is supposed to be about the worst games of all time and ET, Superman 64, and Custers Revenge, just to mention a few are no where in sight? Like not even 1 game from before the turn of the century?! Really? Come on, I can’t understand how anyone signs off on this? Was this miss titled in post? Im trying to give you all the benefit of the doubt but you aren’t making it easy.

[@EsmeAmelia]

You DO know that video games have been around for longer than twelve years, right? Also, "Lords of the Rings"? Did ChatGPT write this script like how it wrote the Gollum developers' "apology"? Did you actually play any of the games on the list?

[@roguerifter9724]

No Gameboy, Atari, NES, or 3DO games. Hell not even any PS1, N64, Genesis, or SNES games games. This is not a worst games of all time list. I own two of the games on the list (Aliens: Colonial Marines and Werewolf the Apocalypse: Earthblood) Neither were great but I could easily think of 30 worse game if I wanted to.

[@captainDL3]

Someone please tell me the program gaming bolt uses for the voiceovers on their videos. This is clearly a program, not an actual person speaking…

[@tedjohnson7485]

When a list says all time it better include games going back to the beginning of gaming. I go back to the 70's in gaming. There were more than 30 really bad games back then.

[@khingofswordz43]

MyWorst Game List is this..... * Crime Boss Rockay City * Atomic Heart * Starfield * Ride To Hell Retribution * Road Rage (PS4) * Saints Row 2022 Reboot * Battlefield 2045 * Fast n' Furious Cross Roads * Forclosure (PS4) * Cloud Punk * Kill The Suicide Squad 🕹️🤔🕹️🤔🕹️🤔🕹️🤔

[@PikaLink91]

REverse's biggest problem, in extension of what is mentioned in the video, is the lack of content. For a game with "verse" in the title, which alludes to the concept of including elements from ALL across the Resident Evil world, there are exceptionally few stages, and laughably few playable characters. Sure you have the mainstay of Chris, Leon, Ada, Claire and Hunk. But where is Wesker, Krauser, Luis, Steve, Rebecca, Barry, Sherry, Jake, or more obscure characters like Ark, Forest and Enrico? Instead we have literally half the roster be taken up by 5 faceless members of Chris's squad from Village. Furthermore, on the monster side, the selection is likewise laughably bare with no sight of the original Tyrant from RE1, no Alexia, no mutated Wesker, no Alex Wesker (Rev2), no Alexander Ashford (CVX), no Abyss Tyrant (Rev1), no Eveline (RE7), and perhaps most insulting of all, no William Birkin.

[@ImperialEarthEmpire]

of all time? then it should include anything from the beginning of time!

[@zombiehunter2956]

ET, Action 52, Dr Jeckyll Mr Hyde, Bubsy Games, CDI

[@nahomgirma5095]

While The Day Before and Gollum are terrible, you can't possibly tell me with a straight face that they are worse than Ride to Hell Retribution.

[@carlosguasch]

I dont know how Devil May Cry 2 didn't make this list. There is absolutely nothing redeemable from that dumpster fire of a game. It is the only game that I genuinely had the urge to ask for my money back for.

[@erikmayfield7567]

Always thought tho needed to be a closed space for expensive broken games that never get fixed. Not just boring games that work

[@twitteringmachine]

The quiet man always gets me with the no audio in the game for what a deaf person goes through 😂

[@richarda2248]

The old pinball machine at the fish and chip shop in the 1970s was THE worst game of all time…..

[@Brandonarchambault]

It’s too bad Greyhill Incident was so bad. The concept is great just needs to be executed properly. Hoping we’ll get a proper, quality game based around grey aliens at some point in the near future.

[@chuckrichardson83]

I'm upset that Final Fantasy IX was not included on the top 30 games of all time as that game is probably one of the worst games of all time

[@chrissyboy7047]

So worst games from the last 3 or 4 generations then not all time

[@faizmahe7412]

Where suicide squad and forspoken I’m pretty forspoken closed luminous production.

No ET from the Atari 2600 era? lol! That was bad. So bad, Atari took whatever copies were left and put them into a landfill. Hilarious!

[@alvybar2990]

This list feels like it was made by someone who hasn’t played any games before 7th gen. Y’all should probably change the title to “Top 30 worst game of recent memory” as that’s what this video is.

[@fox_foo]

The day before! lol

[@tonybarnes4096]

Mighty No 9 was a big disappointment , I remember taking the game back the same day I purchased it 😂

[@aaronvasseur6559]

[@langleymneely]

Recency bias the video.

[@gregdunn965]

ET and Superman 64 anyone? Should be worst games of recent years

[@southernpanda33]

There are definitely other games that were worse than The Day Before. Granted you would’ve had to do some actual work to find them which might explain why these are all newer.

[@mphillimore2]

No Big Rigs??! WTF?

[@abellewis3062]

Aliens: Dark Descent and Aliens: Fireteam Elite needs to be on this list. I never could beat those games. Enough said.
