10 Worst Video Games Of All Time (According To Metacritic)

1: Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing - 8%

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing
Stellar Stone

And in our final spot, if you know your infamously bad games you'd already have guessed it, we've got Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing.

This is the only game I could find with a handful of reviews that has a single digit Metacritic score and boy, does it earn it. Much like Box Office Bust, this 2003 racing game had reviewers imploring gamers to not buy this game. Big Rigs places on many Worst Game Of All Time lists and has been called the, quote, “worst game ever made.” The game is just stacked to the brim with bugs, there’s next to no solid gameplay, the controls are agonising, it looks atrocious, and not one feature in this game appears to have been finished before they shipped it.

If we had to boil the crappiness of this one down to a single moment we’d have to go with the full caps “YOU’RE WINNER” victory message. Nobody felt like a winner playing this one.
