7. Bubsy 3D (1996)

Okay, so, developer Eidetic may not have strictly wanted us to hate this one but they were so successful at making one of the most hated games of all time, we can’t not put it on this list.

I refuse to believe anyone could accidentally design a game with imperceivable constant bullets, maddeningly unreliable controls, a soundtrack that literally feels like a nightmare descent into hell, and-- Honestly I can’t even list off all the things wrong with this game, we’ll be here all day.

Despite being a cute orange cat, Bubsy is super annoying, and Bubsy 3D is absolutely the mechanically worst of the Bubsy franchise.

Bubsy 3D is thought to be one of the worst games of all time, and if you played it, I’m sure you can guess why. The PlayStation game has reached infamous status among gamers. In 2015, the game’s designer Michael Berlyn actually called the game his biggest failure, and he opted to take some time off from the game after its release to quote, “rethink things.” Ouch.
