15 Worst Games of 2019 You Need To Avoid

In half a year of some memorable highlights, there have also been some notable dips.

[Battlestar23]

Left Alive wasn't that bad i enjoyed it enough to platinum it.

[Nitrowolf2]

I got the Plat also (least I think I did) but it’s “bad” game

I wanted it to be good, and maybe that’s why I kept playing it but the stealth being it’s main selling point for gameplay never worked to well. I’d say if they had included some of the improved perk from the get go it probably would have fair better in reviews

It’s a shame cause it will probably never be given the chance to improve on all that, especially the wander combat

[Rangerman1208]

It's not just the stealth. The shooting felt off, the Ai was all over the place, the janky animations can result some infuriating moments, etc. It really sucks because I was probably one of the few people who found the story and cast of characters.

Honestly, what annoys me the most about the game is its user score on metacritic. The fact that it's higher than most games released on the PS4 and PC is baffling, but at the same strange, especially when I found out that the amount of positive scores on the PS4 version is 95% the same as the PC version's. If these people actually used bots, then the game deserves all the critisim it gets.

The one big praise I can give to Left Alive is that it's nowhere near as bad as games like Gene Rain and Alekhine's gun.

[Jammer210]

Agreed. The game did recieve a patch so to give the devs some credit, they kinda tried their best. I mostly put the blame on Square.

[PrensGaia]

"It’s a shame cause it will probably never be given the chance to improve on all that, especially the wander combat."

And it's all Square's fault. From what I have read, they didn't have much faith with the poject from the getgo, considering that they only hired a small developer that only worked on a mobile game to develop the title, and the little marketing there was was an early sign. Just shows that Square only made the game just so they get some extra cash from the fans.

The only way Square can redeem themselves is if they either let the devs improve the game or port some of the older Front Mission games to current platforms. They did the latter with Star Ocean after the failure of the 5th installment, so I won't be surprised if Square are actually planning to do the same with the FM series.

[Joshua13]

I mean it's not terrible (there were definitely far worse games released this year), but it was definitely disappointing, especially when this is coming from someone who enjoyed the Front Mission games (including FM:Evolved, which was the weakest of the series). And it wasn't just me and other people that were disappointed, but so were Square.

I don't mind people liking this game (each to their own of course), but I have to disagree to those who thinks this game is worthy to be called a "cult classic" in the future.

[Rangerman1208]

True. I agree on the same spectrumas you despite my previous post sounding a bit negative. And to Jammer, I forgot that the game got a patch that dumbed down the difficulty and added a mode for a more casual audience. Don't know if they're still supporting the game but if this was really the last patch, then I'm kinda disappointed. As Nitrowolf said, Left Alive could be something special if they have enough time to refine the game but ever since Square's tweet on Left Alive's underwhelming sales, only time will tell.

And as I said earlier, I have definitely far worse games. Gene Rain comes to mind since it's a scifi third person shooter where you play as three characters though Left Alive is a superior game compared to Gene Rain.

[PrensGaia]

@Rangerman1208 You see now that's a better reply than your previous one...sort of.

[PrensGaia]

The game's mediocre but definitely not terrible.

Still wished it was better though but I doubt Square are gonna bother.

[V10Elit3x]

Crackdown 3 was downright a disaster of a game. With all that cloud hype, best graphics it was foretold, shaping up nicely according to Phil Spencer! For me it was a disaster!

[AngelicIceDiamond]

CD3 needs a dedicated team to work on the game. Not 2nd party, part time workers and ppl leaving the project for other things. MS needs a dedicated studio for CD3 similar to Halo and Gears. That way MS can oversee and have some control over its development, at least where control is needed. CD3 was simply all over the place and for once MS was too lenient op the devs and the handling of the game.

[pietro1212]

You don't understand how a second party developer would actually function

[Chevalier]

It has nothing to do with the studio being 2nd party, it has to do with MS not managing their own game development.

[nibblo]

I enjoyed the hell out of the campaign, some of the best gaming fun I've had in a long time, never touched the multiplayer though. Don't understand the hate though I guess a lot has to do with the stupid "console wars" bs.

[Profchaos]

Agreed but I'd rather play cd3 over anthem

[gums007]

Days Gone

[sushimama]

Nah. Days Gone is really good. I played through it twice, one time on Survival mode

[travestyj]

Crackdown 3 was garbage. They should have bailed on that game ages ago. Microsoft still can't make a good game to save their life.

[Kiwi66]

But had they bailed on it people on here would talk even more crap about how ms gave up on a game that was hyped up by some

[Chevalier]

Hyped up by some? MS hyped up the game themselves. All this talk about the cloud and the destruction and now the games crap and 'other' people were hyping up the game?

[Kiwi66]

Good to see that some people don't get the full context of my comment as "by some" does include MS, guess it has to be spelled out for the less intelligent people

[sin7279]

Is a f...ing gaming shit artickle!

[Platformgamer]

guys don't be brain-dead, days gone is goty contender alongside RE2 remake, devil may cry 5, kingdom hearts 3 and CTR nitro fueled... most probably gears 5 and death stranding will be goty contenders too

[Legacy212]

Days gone 100% is not a goty contender and neither is crash😂

[Juusterey]

I assume he's joking
considering he mentioned kh3 and crash

[Platformgamer]

legacy212 and juusterey, i'm not joking, i suggest you two to grow a better gaming taste, because if you don't think that days gone, KH3 and crash team racing are goty contender you're delusional.
they're not perfect games, of course, but waaaaaaay better than any game that came out until now, alongside DMC5 and RE2 remake.
and no guys, there's not a nintendo or a PC-exclusive game this year that is on a goty league nor deserve to be on the big goty award, i'm sorry :)

[Tross]

Oh, it's another one of those one item per page lists. I'll pass.

[FRAKISTAN]

Cant believe some idiots are saying days gone was bad???? Lol its one the best games of 2019 for me , so underrated but now ppl are realizing it and thats why its always on top in sales nowadays

[sushimama]

It's just people who don't understand. F them. It's their loss. The game sold amazingly well and the studio is already hiring new people for their next big AAA game, which might be Days Gone 2, but we don't know yet.

[hentaicollector]

Websites that make lists with each entry on a different page are the worst game

[Kabaneri]

Ubisoft killed the Division 2 when it released that ridiculously difficult 8 player raid WITH NO MATCHMAKING.

[Skuletor]

[Rangerman1208]

Thank you for taking the bullet for us.

[Abnor_Mal]

Thanks for the information, still I have to wonder why Sniper Elite V2 would be on the list of worst games of 2019.

[KeeseToast]

The article says it didn't age well and that the newer entries are a better option

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Layers of Fear 2? I've heard nothing but good things.

[Rangerman1208]

Agreed. They should have added instead Eternity, Dollhouse, S.O.N. or generation zero.

[shuvam09]

MVP...

[Bathyj]

Did you have to click Next Page 15 times to read all that?

[Hardiman]

Good thing I don't need articles to tell me which games I should or shouldn't play. Last game I bought and didn't enjoy was Alpha Protocol and that was over s decade ago.

This year has been just like the last several years and that's incredible. Games like Metro Exodus, RE2, Days Gone, MK11, A Plagues Tale and The Sinking City just to name a few.

[gam3r_4_lif3]

Was interested in sinking city but gameplay I seen looks rough. Would you really recommend it

[Hardiman]

It's not perfect but I've really enjoyed it. I love the art direction and the narrative has its moments I think it was on sale during the PS+ sale but it ends today.

[Jammer210]

Sword and Fairy 6 should be here just for how unplayable that game was. A mediocrw game is one thing but one that's a technical mess is unexcusable, especially for a port of a 3 year old PC game. At least some of the games on the list that I have played like Left Alive and Anthem were playable.

[AK91]

Anthem.

Also ugh multi page article.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

You have to click through 15 pages full of adds, no thanks!

[snoopgg]

Sea of thieves, crackdown 3, state of decay 2.....

[melons]

It's July?

[Saijahn]

No division 2, days gone? Them checks cleared huh.

[C-H-E-F]

95% of the games i didn't even consider buying. Anthem is the only game I was going to buy, but played the beta and said NOPE

[Benficaman]

Opinions. Just that.

[Juusterey]

this comment section makes me ashamed to be a ps4 owner

[Juvia]

If fighting back against the xbots annoys you so much (which totally unmasks you, btw) you should consider not visiting this site.

And the best part of all? No one will miss you.
:)

[Profchaos]

Anthem

[BoneMagnus]

Clickbait article that had you hit “next slide” to get through the list.
