Not only did Capcom release the latest entry in the Monster Hunter franchise, Monster Hunter Rise, but Hazelight Studios’ It Takes Two launched to rave reviews as well. What do you think of Metacritic’s top 10 worst games of 2021? Did you play anything on this list? Comment down below.This past Friday, March 26, was a big day for new video game releases. The next-gen console versions (on PS5 and XBX) of the trilogy were marginally better than this Switch version, which suffered from even more performance issues, but they were still utterly disappointing. The remastered graphics managed to both remove some of the originals’ charms and introduce new distractions and inconsistencies, while the compilation was also unexpectedly buggy at launch. Rockstar’s remastered compilation of three older Grand Theft Auto titles-2001’s Grand Theft Auto III, 2002’s Vice City, and 2004’s San Andreas, each scoring in the 90s upon their original releases-turned out to be one of 2021’s biggest gaming disappointments. Need further proof that we are now living in the darkest timeline? How about the inclusion of one of the gaming world’s most heralded franchises in our list of the year’s worst games. While the Switch version may have the game’s lowest Metascore, Balan Wonderworld scored poorly on every platform, though it did manage to sneak into the yellow range with a 51 on PS5. (It also doesn’t help that Balan has an odd costume-swapping mechanic, overly simplistic controls, and an incomprehensible story.) The game appears to be a commercial failure, and creator Yuji Naka retired from Square Enix shortly after its inauspicious release. It’s one thing to be a retro-styled platformer, which could have its charms, but it’s another altogether when the game actually plays like it was made decades ago, which is what critics felt about the creaky Balan Wonderworld. Here’s what Metacritic had to say about both of these games: Balan Wonderworld:Ī new 3D platformer from the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog? Count us in! Er, on second thought, maybe not. Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace – 48 (PC).GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition – 47 (Nintendo Switch). Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood – 42 (PS4).
