I 10 peggiori giochi del 2015

Benvenuti nel nuovo anno: abbiamo senza dubbio avuto una serie di titoli particolarmente belli nel 2015, sopratutto verso la fine. ma diciamocelo: anche una serie di titoli particolarmente osceni. Il parere non siamo noi a darlo, bensì Metacritic, che ha indubbiamente un ruolo importantissimo all’interno dell’attuale industria videoludica.

Non tutti lo considerano il punto di partenza per valutare se un gioco sia effettivamente meritevole o meno, ma che lo si consideri la voce della verità o più semplicemente un mezzo per avere indicazioni su un certo titolo, su Metacritic parlano riviste di gaming di alto livello ma, in molti casi, sono anche gli utenti a parlare (un po’ come nei suggerimenti Steam alla fine).

Siamo così andati a spulciare quella che potremmo definire come “top 10″ i peggiori giochi del 2015, quei titoli che hanno ricevuto i voti dalla critica videoludica talmente bassi, da far pensare che vadano lasciati sullo scaffale (o sul sito, se preferite termini per l’online). “Not in my backyard” si trasforma in “Not in my CreditCard”.

Ecco la top 10:

1. Alone in the Dark: Illumination – 19/100
   
   “Alone in the Dark: Illumination is ugly in every sense of the word, not just visually – though it is about as attractive as an anus in an eye socket. Hideous both inside and out, it’s the consummate fraud that hides behind a recognizable name to deliver interactive poison.” — The Jimquisition
2. Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma Volume One – 21/100
   “This title plays like a sarcastic version of a real game. I don’t mind being mocked if I can laugh along, but this is just mean.” — Hardcore Gamer
   
3. Raven’s Cry – 27/100
   “We take the role of Christopher Raven, who became a pirate captain after his family… ah, screw it. The game is terrible. I say that as a guy who honestly tried to become enamored of it for a week straight.” — Game World Navigator
   
4. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 – 32/100
   “The game clearly isn’t finished and even [if] it was the lack of ambition, and budget, is painfully obvious at every turn. A sad, pathetic end to a classic games franchise.” — Metro GameCentral
   
5. Giana Sisters: Dream Runners – 32/100
   “A promising concept is steamrollered in a game that doesn’t really work as a platformer and breaks down entirely as a racer. We’d rather be kicked in the shins for eight hours than play this again.” — Official Xbox Magazine UK
   
6. Zombeer – 32/100
   
   “To say that its immature and painfully unfunny sense of humor would be appreciated by 13-years-olds is doing a disservice to the intelligence of 13-year-olds, as Zombeer makes Duke Nukem Forever look like Withnail & I.” — Game Revolution
   
7. Godzilla – 38/100
   “You would think a game in which you can pimp-slap a moth as a 40ft-tall garbage monster couldn’t possibly be that bad. You would, however, be wrong.” — GamesRadar+
   
8. Project Root – 38/100
   “Unfairly difficult and technically incompetent, Project Root is a classic example of a good idea gone horribly, horribly wrong.” — We Got This Covered
   
9. MX vs. ATV Supercross Encore – 42/100
   “There is plenty of content here for those that learn to live with the awkward control scheme, but even for those especially eager for a new off road racer, this ugly and uncooperative return will provide an unwelcome reminder of just how far this series has fallen from grace.” — Brash Games
   
10. Enki – 43/100
    “ENKI appears as an amateur project, something that a group of friends can develop during weekends. Unfortunately it’s a commercial product, and it must be treated as such. It’s plagued by lots of design and technical issues, and it’s simply not fun.” — GamesVillage
