Ever since the Metroid franchise was revitalized by the Metroid Prime series, Nintendo has been trying and failing to recapture the same glory. It was a bad year for developers completely misreading what their fans wanted, as Metroid Prime: Federation Forceproves.
Subreddit after subreddit filled to the brim with bile at the mere mention of No Man’s Sky, and ultimately, unjustly or not, ensured that it would be remembered as one of the most reviled games of all time. Claims were made that the developers had falsely advertised the game. No Man’s Sky was still a massive universe to explore, it just turned out to be not very fun to explore. Instead of a vast ocean, players were given a shallow ocean. Features had been removed, altered, and overhauled. When No Man’s Sky was finally released this year, it was to a gaming public who had expectations so high it never stood a chance. The hype train immediately left the station.

The video is currently the second most disliked video on Youtube with over 3 million dislikes and counting. Some might call this one unfair, seeing as how Infinite Warfare has generally positive reviews, but no one can forget the wave of hatred that the Internet collectively spewed over Infinite Warfare when it’s reveal trailer was first released. From consoles to PCs, FPS to RPG, and everything else in between, there was a lot to loathe. And so, for your amusement and soon-to-be groans of remembrance, here are the top 5 worst games of 2016. To be fair, we tried to spread the hate around. It sucked real hard. Even in the realm of video games, what should be sources of joy and entertainment, there was more than this year’s fair share of duds. The general consensus of the world at large seems to be that this year, well. As 2016 comes to a close, it’s impossible not to look back on the year as a whole.
