The 2015 sequel to 2009's modestly received Afro Samurai game - developed by the ironically-monikered Redacted Studios - is by far the worst-reviewed game on this list, landing a brutal 21 Metascore after receiving 1/10 and 2/10 scores from most major review outlets.

Afro Samurai 2: Revenge Of Kuma was panned for its low-rent graphics, bug-filled gameplay, and atrocious controls, enough that some critics even called it flat-out broken.

The overwhelming disdain from critics and players alike caused publisher Versus Evil to remove the game from PSN just six weeks after release, and then from Steam barely a week later. In an unprecedented step they also refunded everyone who bought it.

Versus Evil's General Manager, Steve Escalante, later issued a statement calling the game a "failure," while confirming that two planned sequel projects had been cancelled because they couldn't, "in good conscience," put them into production.
