KARWOWSKI: Worst Games of 2018

No Caption Provided

There's plenty of great but there's also plenty of bad or disappointing. Especially these days with cut budgets, schedules and the marketplace becoming used to unfinished half baked products. We only have ourselves to blame because we buy them.

Here's the Trash:

PUBG: Battlegrounds

1. PUBG: Battlegrounds

One of the biggest selling titles in history continues to be a cheap, janky buggy mess. Now trying to copy Fortnite they sell you battle passes that are pretty worthless by comparison. "Fortnite" & "Call of Duty BLACKOUT mode" is an example of what a well designed & polished game really looks like. The worst part of all is that a game called "Ring of Elysium" which is a blatant cheap cash grab, free to play title, that was probably made with 20 people over a weekend, looks and plays better than PUBG. "BlueHole" is a perfect example of how a developer can slowly kill it's own game.

Super Seducer

"Let's just say I wanted to burn this game to the ground immediately."

The Quiet Man

3. The Quiet Man

Some designers try to create art games, unfortunately the key word is 'try.'

Agony

4. Agony

An interesting premise is not enough. You have to make a good game to go along with it.

Fallout 76

5. Fallout 76

A waste of everyones time, players and the people who made it.

Battlefield V

6. Battlefield V

More disappointing than bad. On Launch Half the game wasn't even in it. Multiplayer feels out dated with it's lack luster progression system & only 8 maps, one of which was a straight copy and paste from "Battlefield 1."

Darksiders III

7. Darksiders III

Another disappointment. It's a shame. The previous 2 were great games. This one is half effort at best.

Metal Gear Survive

8. Metal Gear Survive

The game charges you real world money for additional "save slots."

The Crew 2

9. The Crew 2

Looks bad, plays bad, sounds bad. Play "Forza Horizon 4."

Shaq Fu

10. Shaq Fu

Shaq was popular 20 years ago. This game plays like it was made 40 years ago.
