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

4: Yaris - 17%

Yaris game

If after hearing the title of this one you’re thinking, “Wait, isn't that a car?” Why, yes, yes it is. This game is sort of an ad for Toyota Yaris where you drive around in the titular car, racing and shooting enemies.

I am somehow not kidding, let’s keep going.

The game is free and that is all the nice things I have to say about it. It’s really weird advertising, completely broken, and has absolutely no redeeming qualities. The graphics are crappy, controls are unresponsive, the gameplay is weirdly obtuse and difficult, and there’s nothing in here that can excuse the weird shameless marketing plug that is the game’s existence.

There’s no reason at all to check this one out unless you want to play a prank on your friends in which, go nuts, that sounds like a great idea.
