12 Worst Video Games Of 2015

5. Hatred

For a while there, Destructive Creations' Hatred was the centre of attention for the entire games industry - albeit for the most forced and childish reasons possible. By putting you in the angry army boots of an angry trenchcoat-wearing genocidal maniac, the entire thing played like the manifestation of every "Won't someone think of the children!?"-spouting parent's worst nightmares. Literally all you do is run around a handful of levels, putting guns in the mouths of innocent people or lobbing grenades into shopping malls. Created in the Unreal engine, it plays well enough from a control standpoint, but the absolutely absurd nature of the project itself, the fact the developers had ties to neo-Nazi websites and the overwhelmingly tactless way it was rolled out, makes for something that was more akin to a shoegazing teenager screaming for attention, than a creation with something to say.
