10 Worst Video Games You’ve Ever Played (According To Reddit)
6. Nether
Nether came out in 2013 to a host of excited, expectant fans, and from there it was all downhill. The premise seemed promising: a first person, multiplayer survival game set in a post-apocalyptic city.
That seems pretty basic, an easy enough brief to follow, right?
So the game comes out and initially there are lots of positives: the Chicago-like map is expansive and interesting, the teleporting enemies are a challenge to take down and that adds tension and scare-factor. Unfortunately though, the problems on release (mainly lack of content and lots of bugs) didn’t get better.
A game that was passable in early access became a game that was untenable when released fully, considering that most problems from the pre-release build hadn’t been fixed. A tricky changeover of developers left gamers wondering who was in charge and why they weren’t fixing stuff, and player numbers started dropping drastically.
Now it’s known as a failure of a title. It truly had the potential to be great but thanks to terrible development (likely fuelled by greed and lack of regard for players), the IP now lies dead in the water of public opinion.
