Top 10 WORST Games of 2022

sucks sucks sucks sucks every video game just sucks these are the worst games of 2022. [Music] oh no there are still dark souls rip-offs coming out dolman has less emotional impact as a game title than someone saying the word pudding dolman tries to go for a Sci-Fi Twist on their genre but not very well you're still using Shields and axes only they're spacey but you can also just straight up use a gun against enemies so it has even more of an identity crisis yet the only things they could come up with for enemy designs are bug things and some kind of dude I guess I can't get over how much this camera whips around I have the sensitivity turned down and it's still this quick those are probably the nicest things I can say about it since everything else is so painfully generic that I'd rather buy the Kirkland Signature brand Dark Souls it's so numbingly dull that you could play it for an hour and you would have better success remembering your actual birth from the womb of all things that are bad in Dolmen the worst is the UI like what is this this placeholder bare minimum assets that they figured good enough and shipped with this it's barely legible it has no visual flare whatsoever which is weird for a Hi-Fi game there's plenty of room to explore in the souls like genre and I thought dolman was going to be a great attempt at that because this space theme is a good idea but that's where the idea stopped and they painted by the numbers instead and still went outside of the lines party Nintendo games came out this year that basically weren't even finished yet they released them anyway of all of them though Nintendo switch Sports is the most least done switch Sports released with a grand total of only six different sports modes and even that's debatable since one of them is tennis and the other is badminton which play functionally the same and volleyball is super boring compare this to Wii Sports Resort which had 12 different games to play it's also just ugly the character models have zero charm whatsoever and even the play areas themselves are soulless and boring why could it not have just been woohoo Island from Wii Sports Resort again it didn't even launch with the most basic and honestly expected of game modes people just wanted to play golf with your friends switch Sports came out in April and it finally got updated to have golf in November still barely enough to Warren its price point there really isn't much to do in the single player either because the most you could get is unlocking cosmetics and whatnot which is only done through the online mode and anyone who has used the switch online can tell you just just how wonderfully smooth that is it came out too early and too lacking for the asking price if it had released in November instead even with just golf ready to go I don't think it would have been so bad instead Nintendo pushed out an unfinished product knowing suckers would buy it anyway and they'll maybe fix it up later which sounds like a growing trend for them this year huh how is this a thing how is it that Garfield of all properties somehow gets a new game like every single year is there a huge Garfield cult following that I thankfully don't know about don't answer that I want to keep it that way Garfield lasagna party is a party game starring a cat who hates Mondays and loves lasagna roll the dice move around the board play mini games to win lasagna and whoever has the most lasagna at the end wins it is entirely a Mario Party rip-off and by that I mean some of the games you play are straight up ripped off from Mario Party the worst offender is that it's just dull it's like a Mario Party game with any iota of energy and excitement sapped out of it turns take a really long time moving around the board barely matters you can't interact with your opponent in meaningful ways and most of the mini games are just boring it isn't aggravating or rage-inducing it's just that playing it is so tepid let's do some math since we're comparing it to Mario Party any given Mario Party game will have what some six or more playable characters 5 five or more game boards and at least 60 mini games comparatively Garfield lasagna party has exactly four playable characters only one game board and exactly 32 mini games it also doesn't have online play at all despite coming out for Steam and Nintendo switch and the asking price was forty dollars do you know how much actual lasagna you could get with forty dollars well in this economy like one and a half Great Dragon Ball Z game if you got to play as this guy Dragon Ball the breakers is the first Dragon Ball game where you play as a regular ass Human now Goku not Piccolo or Vegeta not even Krillin you literally play as a complete Rando with zero powers or abilities your goal is to run around the map and set up a bunch of time keys to escape the hellscape you found yourself in with all of your allies this is all the while an actual DBZ villain tries to find and murder you it's just dead by daylight but with a dragon ball skin what an unfun concept for a DBZ game 99 times out of 100 you're running around hoping you find the randomly correct box to find important items and try to escape while the player as the villain can literally destroy entire parts of the map there's also only three maps and they all look pretty much the same eight players are screwing around like idiots while one player gets to play what feels like an actual Dragon Ball Z game however as a random human you can enlist The Souls of known powerful warriors and use their abilities get enough energy and you can temporarily take on the characteristics of pretty much every Dragon Ball Z character you can think of to fight back against the villain this only lasts like a minute and if you get hurt during the transformation it'll last like 10 seconds instead so you get maybe one minute of something actually fun to do in any given 15 minute match here's the kicker though those hero Souls you get you acquire them through a gotcha system use your coins and tickets to get randomly selected hero Souls of varying power levels and move sets this means you might get something like a 5 Star rare Goku or you might get three of the same yamchas it also means there's like eight different currencies in the game normal zany hero tickets season tickets special tickets whatever TP stands for this is all so that you might get the hero and Powers you want and of course you can also spend real money to purchase more of the best currency to get more hero Souls so yes it actually is pay to win and there's also a battle pass level up to get some stuff or whatever and complete your daily missions for your battle pass don't wanna spend real money to skip levels I can see how some people could have fun with this in the same way that if you were stuck in a force completely naked you could find some way to have fun with a piece of tree bark it wouldn't be so bad for a free to play game but it isn't free on top of everything else you have to buy it why must so many franchises make ill-fated attempts to go Battle Royale Final Fantasy VII the first solder is yet another Final Fantasy VII game only this time it's one of those player shoot Games map gets smaller you drop down in the middle of the map run around and find chests to what else get different guns and items you can find other players and shoot them last one standing wins and again remember this is a Final Fantasy game it's also available only on mobile which means trying to play a fast-paced third person shooter using touch screen controls that's why there's so much crap all over the screen there's more Hut here than there is gameplay and yes it does play as clunky as this looks when Final Fantasy 7 remake came out at no point did I think they would use it as an excuse to further exploit everyone's Nostalgia for it by releasing more shitty spin-off games it's not even remotely RPG based or really has anything remotely familiar to Final Fantasy fans it's also only on mobile which was dumb because anyone who loves Final Fantasy has been console and PC players so really who was this game for okay so technically this one came out right at the very end of 2021 but it was late enough that I'm just gonna count it for 2022. because they announced back in October that Final Fantasy VII the first Soldier is closing down in a couple of months it hardly lasted a single year should we just assumed that Activision Blizzard is going to show up on this list every year potentially more than once OverWatch 2 isn't on this list strictly because it's an awful game and it isn't Fun in fact mostly the opposite since it's more OverWatch and for a lot of people OverWatch is really fun however it's what was lost to make OverWatch 2 happen that makes it so despicable OverWatch 2 essentially repackages the original game just so they can update the monetization on it before infamously it was tons of loot boxes and random rewards they got rid of all that and went with the current style of our time the battle pass when previously anytime an all-new hero was released for the game everyone would instantly get it now you must acquire them through the battle pass meaning having to play for hours and hours just to play as a new character the battle pass isn't just Cosmetics or emotes or whatever now it's locking away essential gameplay components there also just isn't enough here to Warrant the two in OverWatch 2. there's less stuff of available than the original you'll be playing a lot of the same Maps as the first game previous characters that you had before are now locked behind mundane progression and play time requirements blizzard made a big deal that this was going to have all new Cooperative PVE modes which honestly is what I was looking forward to the most that co-op mode is nowhere to be seen and nowhere inside on the horizon and upon its release blizzard took OverWatch 1 out back and put a bullet between its eyes the servers were shut down and that game is no longer being supported forcing everyone to play the new sequel that has less game in it also remember when you were forced to give OverWatch 2 your phone number just to be able to play it talk about a privacy incursion thanks to that Activision Blizzard now knows where I live and if I turn up dead remember it was murder this isn't a remake that anyone asked for yet here it is the arcade classic House of the Dead got remade for Nintendo switch and basically made worse in every way the most obvious being that the game is just ugly it's supposed to be an HD remaster and it looks worse in every way character models have that steam Unity asset flip game kind of quality like they have a certain Sheen that makes them look rough and unpolished I weirdly prefer the old polygonal Jank of the arcade original to this it also has constant frame rate problems which gets Troublesome during a Twitchy like on shooter with lots of enemies on the screen you can swap it into performance mode to make the frame rate better but then the characters and environments look even worse I can feel the 720p every second I'm playing this the weirdest thing is that there is no good control scheme for this on the switch you can either do the slow analog stick aiming which is not good or the more ideal gyroscope motion controls while it's better it still isn't great mostly because while you're adjusting your controller to precisely aim whenever you press the shoot button you will move the controller ever so slightly the gyro aiming is so sensitive that this will make your cursor tweak a little making you miss your shots this gets especially problematic during intense boss fights with very small weak points this remake was just so unnecessary I would rather just play a straight arcade port or even a port of the Wii Port of House of the Dead 2 and 3. before I say anything else I want you to know this is on the Nintendo switch eShop waifu impact is what is it is this supposed to be parroting or trying to capitalize on gentian impact I honestly have no idea the only thing you do is play as an anime girl running around an island filled with dozens of another anime girl who are all exactly the same and you shoot each other with literal Super Soakers while they make this noise laughs that's it that's the entire game you can find Stars which unlocks other quote unquote waifus and they can have different weapons at least what's the point of unlocking all these waifus when they all look the same they all have boobs so big that you can see the sides of them from the back and none of them have any ass get this though get enough kills with any waifu and you unlock additional art galleries of them which you would think awesome that sounds horny and right up my alley but the extra galleries are just really unflattering still shots of their awful character models like look at this one she's actually a pretty cute waifu in this art but the unlock you get for her is oh God this is the difference between when you take a selfie of yourself and when a friend takes a photo of you oh there's more if you manage to squirt down enough waifus you'll get a message saying that there is now a super waifu what could that possibly be it's a boss fight all right against the exact same waifu you've been shooting the whole time only now she's bigger I can't believe I'm saying this but defeating the super wife who gets you unlockable character I do not understand how this of all games gets allowed on the Nintendo eShop and no one bats an eye I played this for way longer than I really should have on stream and I'm embarrassed for it here you go Chad I hate chat [ __ ] you what have you done did she just scream Daddy no but then I made a promise to my twitch chat if I ever get 2 000 twitch subscribers I will 100 this game on stream I am committing to that 2 000 twitch subs and waifu impact will get 100 by me or as much as I can until twitch bans me for TOs babylon's fall may be the most spectacular failure of the year it came from Square Enix a beloved publisher and from Platinum Games a beloved developer and it just sucks so bad babylon's fall is a Cooperative online only slasher RPG we run through Dark Fantasy locales and beat up some dudes to get stuff and make numbers go up imagine something described as that being as boring as possible and then further strip away anything interesting from that everything is ugly every area and Stage is Bland and repetitive you'd run through one hallway only to run through another minute later as your Consciousness snaps back to reality and you question if you blacked out and lost some time of your life character models have muddy textures and look like placeholders waiting to be swapped out with no intention of actually doing so it's one of those games where every single dude you fight is just a huge bar of Health that sponges up your attacks until they finally die all you do is fight stuff until you get new equipment to make numbers go up to fight boring unfun damage sponges over and over again recall however that babylon's fall was does online only there is no single player or offline play whatsoever it's also one of those games described as a live service it was never about delivering a strong game experience as it was establishing means of monetizing it basically Square Enix took their last disappointing live service game Marvel's The Avengers and then try to do it again with Platinum Games and a fantasy setting and if that wasn't enough to copy babylon's fall also reused assets like armor and weapons straight from critically acclaimed to MMORPG Final Fantasy 14. it was released back in March on the exact same day as Alden ring and in February 2023 the servers are being shut down less than a year without servers there is no way to play babylon's ball it is being effectively deleted from gaming so what does platinum games have to say about all of this they're sorry and there it is the second time blizzard is on the list Diablo Immortal is the mobile focused Diablo game that was met with such contempt from Gamers prompting the legendary response from blizzard of don't you guys have phones at its core it's fine it's a Diablo game through and through meaning you're tearing through hordes of enemies of Hell seeing lots of numbers pop up and constantly picking up troves of loot for incremental power boosts I'd even argue that it's actually kind of fun and works surprisingly well as both a Diablo game and as a mobile game but that isn't what makes Diablo Immortal so awful it's the predatory and abusive monetization methods it is intentionally confusing obtuse and outright deceptive to give an idea there are over 20 different types of currencies in the game from money to upgrade materials to unlocks or whatever there is also fundamentally not one not two but three different battle passes of different unlocks things that would take free players literal months to obtain can be done in 5 minutes by paid players systems are implemented in such a way to legally get around the loot box laws of many countries even though they're still essentially loot boxes and Diablo Immortal still got banned in a couple of countries because of its gambling-like practices and all of these paid instances are only chances for rare items not guaranteed leading to reports such as one twitch streamer having paid over ten thousand dollars and not getting the items he desired it is so entirely complex and involved to psychologically manipulate users to be the product to be the singular Drive of profit because the entire game was designed to incorporate as many microtransaction forms as possible for far deeper and more involved examination of this I strongly recommend watching the legendary video by fellow YouTuber Josh Drive Hayes who deconstructed it at every seam better than I ever can I'll put a link to it in the description the most offensive thing about all of these transactions though every cosmetic every rare Crest unlock every Boon of Plenty or whatever the [ __ ] it's called each and every single battle pass is per character trying different classes or starting over fresh means everything you have paid for is completely separate for every single character you create it isn't that Diablo Immortal plays bad runs like ass or is graphically awful because it's all of the opposite however it's that dishonest misleading mendacious micro transactions and monetization that makes it actively hostile to its own player base Diablo Immortal is not made for players it's made for wallets and bank accounts making it the worst game of 2022.
