The Lowest-Rated Video Games Of 2024

15. Concord
- Metacritic Score: 62
Concord is a forgettable live-service game that feels like a blatant attempt to chase trends rather than innovate. Debuting on August 23, the game was taken offline by Sony just two weeks later, on September 6, due to poor sales. | © Firewalk Studios

14. Slitterhead
- Metacritic Score: 62
Slitterhead starts strong with intriguing concepts and a fresh approach, but it quickly runs out of ideas after the first few hours. Combat remains stagnant, mystery segments fail to evolve, and the poorly presented story makes it hard to stay engaged. | © Bokeh Game Studio

13. Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns
- Metacritic Score: 61
Khaos Reigns disappoints with its convoluted multiverse story and a cast of characters disconnected from the main timeline. The $50 price tag feels unjustifiable for a lackluster story expansion that adds little to the overall experience. | © NetherRealm Studios

12. Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
- Metacritic Score: 60
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, while boasting solid gunplay and impressive technology, ultimately falls short as a repetitive and uninspired loot shooter. The game features a lackluster story with cheap humor and repetitive mission design, failing to capitalize on the potential of its DC Comics source material. | © Rocksteady Studios

11. Skull and Bones
- Metacritic Score: 59
Skull and Bones suffers from a lack of compelling narrative and poor game flow, leaving players confused and disengaged. The sparse and unengaging story quests fail to provide any meaningful context or motivation for the player's actions. | © Ubisoft

10. The Inquisitor
- Metacritic Score: 58
The Inquisitor attempts to blend multiple genres but delivers a shallow experience due to poorly implemented mechanics. Clue collecting and swordfighting feel rudimentary, and some gameplay elements seem designed only to waste your time. | © Dust

9. The Spirit of the Samurai
- Metacritic Score: 57
The Spirit of the Samurai is an excruciatingly frustrating gaming experience. Poorly designed platforming sections, combined with illogical respawn points, create an infuriating and unenjoyable gameplay loop. | © Digital Mind Games

8. Critter Cafe
- Metacritic Score: 55
Critter Café initially captivates with its charming atmosphere as players collect creatures and customize their coffee shop. However, the initial charm quickly fades as repetitive gameplay takes over. What begins as relaxing fun soon becomes a tedious grind. | © Sumo Digital

7. Funko Fusion
- Metacritic Score: 54
Funko Fusion turns what should be a fun experience into suffering from frustratingly unclear objectives and convoluted level design. Simple tasks often take far longer than necessary due to poor communication and a lack of guidance. | © 1010 Games

6. Silent Hill: The Short Message
- Metacritic Score: 53
Silent Hill: The Short Message misses the mark with its overly bright visuals and lack of atmospheric transitions, hindering the gradual buildup of horror atmosphere. The game also lacks the organic discovery of unsettling elements, instead presenting them in a straightforward and predictable manner. | © HexaDrive

5. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown
- Metacritic Score: 53
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has been plagued by numerous issues, including forced online and inconsistent AI difficulty severely limiting single-player enjoyment. Despite its bold aspirations, the game ultimately feels like a misstep for the developers behind the WRC series. | © Kylotonn

4. Pneumata
- Metacritic Score: 52
The only positive thing about Pneumata is that it was created by a sole developer who quit his job to finish making this game, and we appreciate the hustle. Everything else fails to deliver a compelling horror experience; flaws range from clunky mechanics to poor level design and nonexistent AI, which overshadows this experience. | © Deadbolt Interactive

3. Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator
- Metacritic Score: 51
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator suffers from glaring technical and aesthetic issues, from glitchy reflections and sluggish animations to unpolished NPC design. Poor optimization and a lack of variety further detract from the experience, making it far from the realistic city-driving simulator it aims to be. | © Simteract

2. Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports
- Metacritic Score: 47
Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports suffers from a lack of game modes and the absence of an online multiplayer option, restricting players to local multiplayer or AI opponents, which quickly becomes repetitive. This makes the game feel like a missed opportunity to deliver the chaotic fun fans expect from the Looney Tunes universe. | © Bamtang Games

1. Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash
- Metacritic Score: 44
Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash disappoints with its lack of meaningful content and subpar combat mechanics, all relying on online features. The character roster is visually appealing, but the game ultimately fails to translate their unique abilities into engaging gameplay. | © Byking
