/v/GAs – Voting

Sometimes it's better to die peacefully than be forced to forever live as an abomination. Sadly, this game did not get that luxury.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

The Chinese Room

A long awaited sequel that only added cringey writing and game features that bloat the game. Give us any of the other versions that were scrapped over the years for this one

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Retro Studios, Next Level Games, Virtuos

Even more casualized and focused on the "wider audience". Another victim of the "open world" trend and falls flat just like all the others that did it this year, not even mentioning the terrible performance.

Monster Hunter Wilds

Capcom

Yo-terrible.

Ghost of Yōtei

Sucker Punch Studios

Former GTA devs gave us not the GTA 6 we wanted, but the GTA 6 we deserved.

MindsEye

Build a Rocket Boy

A sandbox RPG where you can't interact with anything, shilled incessantly through desktop notifications by a company that has lost its fucking mind.

Avowed

Obsidian Entertainment

Greasy ass Randy Bitchford is back again with another lackluster, meme filled shit show of a shooter.

Borderlands 4

Gearbox Software

It takes effort to screw up Mario Kart's winning formula to the extent that even diehard fans are denouncing it for other kart games. More isn't better and it shows here.

Mario Kart World

Nintendo EPD, Monolith Soft, 1-Up Studio, Bandai Namco Studios

It's yet another game in the franchise that is one step forward, two steps back, expanding on the "real time" pokémon combat while stripping the already simple mechanics down even more.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Game Freak

Of all the ways CoD could've course-corrected, doing acid shouldn't have been one of them.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

Treyarch, Raven Software

The perfect showcase on how an otherwise decent game in the current shitty industry will be praised to the moon.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Sandfall Interactive

Remember when people were begging for an Assassin's Creed game set in Japan? This is what you wanted, isn't it?

Assassin's Creed Shadows

Ubisoft Quebec
