#10: “The Order: 1886” (2015)
Top 10 WORST Video Games of 2023
Talk about a disappointing way to start our list. This game had so much promise with it’s dark, alternate retelling of London history. And with 5 years in development, we wanted to take on those werewolves with some stylish looking guns... until we actually started the game. The game is short -- six hours, at most, despite being padded with forced walking sections – and there’s very little exploration in its gorgeous setting, the gameplay is your average cover shooter where you fight more people than those cool looking creatures we talked about, the story leaves little to be desired thanks to a sequel baiting ending, and with no extra features AT ALL, there’s zero reason to want to pick it up again after one playthrough.
#9: “Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival” (2015)
Top 10 Craziest Things People Have Done in Animal Crossing
When your title makes it clear of your game’s blatant business intentions, you may as well have called yourself “Animal Crossing: Cash Grab.” Despite its rather cute and charming aesthetic, it wears thin really quickly when you realise just how boring the game is. The main board game revolves entirely around luck, and the Amiibo integration is so poorly tacked that they pretty much act as just as a button you should be able to push. The extra minigames don’t fare any better either, as they lack depth and don’t have much staying power after a few minutes. For shame Nintendo, for shame.
#8: “Rugby World Cup 2015” (2015)
Meet HB Studios, the developer responsible for “Rugby 15.” At the time of doing this list, “Rugby 15” was the worst rated game of all time for both the PS4 and Xbox One. Why is that important to know? Simple. “Rugby World Cup” is a botched attempt to fix the issues that “Rugby 15” had, but this newest installment still has poor controls, no licensed stadiums, no online mode, bad graphics... you name a problem and this game’s got it. It’s like they ran a spell check and ignored those red, squiggly lines ... but hey, they at least ran a spell check this time?
#7: “Attack On Titan: Humanity In Chains (2015)
On that day, humanity received a grim reminder: not every “Attack on Titan” release is worth your time. The ability to fly around and battle titans should’ve been a huge adrenaline rush with a mix of absolute dread, instead, we got an e-shop release that failed to capture the heart-stopping moments of the anime. It certainly tried to, from letting players create their own squad, to kicking things off with the anime’s iconic opening as soon as the game loads, but the combat and the world you’re in feels limited compared to what “Attack on Titan” promises anyone who dares to put on that maneuvering gear.
#6: “Godzilla” (2015)
Top 10 Best and Worst Godzilla Games
This is one of those games that die hard fans would buy immediately, no questions asked. A PS4 exclusive starring the most well known monsters in past and present generations? The ability to destroy cities, fight monsters, play against friends online, and hell, just to see Godzilla on the PS4 should’ve been a dream come true. Unfortunately, what should’ve been the biggest, most destructive gaming experience of the year fizzled out with outdated graphics and stilted gameplay. It’s a slow moving fighting game with no blocking. Bummer city.
#5: “Raven’s Cry” (2015)
Worst Open World Game of All Time - Raven's Cry
Christopher Raven is on a quest for revenge... but maybe he should’ve been on a quest for a better game. This game was so poorly received that its developer, “Reality Pump Studios,” re-released it in an attempt to fix the issues. Bugs, crashes, and other game-breaking things make the adventure practically unplayable, but the biggest issue may be the potential the game had and the failure to execute. It had good ideas like pirate ship battles and building your notoriety through fear and killing opponents, but sadly, it was done so horribly that it made gamers feel like they were walking the plank.
#4: “Motorcycle Club” (2015)
Ah, there’s nothing better than the sound of a motorcycle being revved up. It creates the image of zipping down the street, the wind in your hair, and... WHAT?! WE CAN’T HEAR ANYTHING, NOT EVEN THE GAME’S SOUNDTRACK! Welcome to “Motorcycle Club,” which is, at the time of doing this list, the fourth worst PS4 game of all time. Congratulations? There’s something about racing motorcycles that doesn’t translate well, but at least this one doesn’t have a plop of a story (1:02). Instead, we get messy controls, ear-bleeding sound effects, and a switching mechanic that could be interesting if the game weren’t so bad.
#3: “Hatred” (2015)
If we ask what games have been the most controversial in the industry, we’re sure you’ll come up with several titles that, while controversial, have received praise for their gameplay, story, and overall experience. This is not one of thosegames. You play as a nameless killer who hates humanity and decides to wipe it out. Why you ask? Well you must be a man hating SJW with no balls, in your face PC Libtard! Anyway, the game ended up being monotonous, ugly, and trying way too hard to be “edgy” with its content. In the end, Hatred’s devs tried so hard to cause a shitstorm that they forgot to make a good game to justify it.
#2: “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5” (2015)
Every Tony Hawks Pro Skater Game Ranked
There once was a time where skateboarding video games were highly praised, and the 2nd game in the Pro Skater series is still considered one of the greatest games of all time. Sadly, the franchise took a dive and tried anything -- anything-- to get back on its feet. We assumed that was the end, but then Tony Hawk announced a new title that would apparently revive the franchise. This led to a game full of technical issues, dull environments that don’t do the PS4 or Xbox One justice, and yawn-inducing missions that serve as a reminder of why we put our boards away in the first place. Before we get to our worst game of the year, rather than our usual Dishonorable Mentions, we’re instead going to be showing the Biggest Disappoints of the year, these games weren’t the absolute worst games, but rather the ones that had huge promise but sadly didn’t deliver:
Disappointing Mentions
Top 10 Most Disappointing Video Games of The 1990s
First up
“Armikrog” (2015)
A spiritual successor to “Neverhood” by the creators of “Earthworm Jim?” That alone was a reason to support this game... until we actually played it.
“Battlefield: Hardline” (2015)
What was once an honorable mention on our “most anticipated” list of 2015 has become a disappointment. It’s not a flatout disaster, but it doesn’t really offer anything of value to the long-running franchise, either.
“Batman: Arkham Knight" (PC Edition) (2015)
10 Hidden Secrets in the Batman Arkham Games
Despite being one of the best games of they year on the consoles, the PC version suffered from all sorts of performance issues. Some were fixed months later, but now it looks like not all will be.
“The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes” (2015)
Top 20 Worst Heroes In Video Games
Even if the main draw to the game is its multiplayer, we still expect a Zelda title to have a good single-player mode when we can’t get exactly 3 people in the office together to play. We expect better to come out of Hyrule -- or Hytopia.
“Star Wars Battlefront” (2015)
Top 10 WORST Star Wars Games
Easily one of the most anticipated of the year, and while it looks and sounds spectacular, the shortage of maps and compelling game modes sadly does not make it the Star Wars game fans of the series we’re looking for. And finally
“Evolve” (2015)
Being able to go up against user-controlled beasts with your friends should’ve been one of the most fun, unique experiences of the year, but instead it was a repetitive, and the heavy reliance on DLC killed off most of its community in less than a month. Now that we got those out of the way, lets move on to our number one pick.
#1: “Alone In The Dark: Illumination” (2015)
Top 10 Worst Secret Endings In Video Games
To see one of the biggest influences in the survival horror genre be reduced to the worst thing to come out this year is enough to make us sick. The game is obviously unfinished, either that, or the developers were too lazy to include voice acting, readable text, and -- did that monster just belch at us as it died? And did that one die in a soundless explosion!? Beyond that, the gameplay is the most cookie-cutter co-op shooter out there... wait, co-op? The title says alone in the dark, right? Why is there co-op? More importantly, why is there light? It says dark! Sigh, why is this game even here? Do you agree with our list? Which video game do you regret ever allowing into your collection? For more top tens published everyday, be sure to subscribe to WatchMojo.com.
