I've heard a lot of people disappointed by the Werewolf game … but I feel like the GTA trilogy is the biggest possible screwup of an easy success - take a beloved trilogy, make it prettier and compatible with new hardware, $$!

Yep. All they had to do was take the originals, port them to the GTAV engine and graphics, and not half-ass the radio stations. Instead they half-assed everything.

These games have a big advantage: They don't increase your gaming backlog.

And if they are ever part of a bundle with that other game you do want, you can always donate them for the next key giveaway

Surprised to see Necromunda: Hired Gun on the list. I heard it was OK, nothing more, but not that it's a top 10 lowest rated games material. It's positively rated on Steam as well.

I don't care nor bother with Metacritic for many years now, neither the "official" nor "user" reviews - both are biased and subjective.

A lot of effort has been put into the listed "worst" games and many of them are actually good (metacritic gave Terminator resistance 47% which I enjoyed thoroughly).
