The Worst Reviewed Games of 2024

Although 2024 was a quieter year for big releases, it still had some fantastic games. But, at the other end of the spectrum, it had its fair share of stinkers too. Of course, reviews are and always have been objective critiques and whatever you might think of a game is your own opinion. You might have even played and enjoyed some of the games on this list – we all have guilty pleasures, right?

There were also several disappointments that received a 5. Games many of us were eagerly looking forward to only to be let down by the final product.
