8 Worst Video Games Of 2022 (So Far)

2. eFootball 2022

On paper a free-to-play evolution of the legendary Pro Evolution Soccer series was gold.

Get one of the best football games on the planet in front of people, for free, and figure out some respectable way to monetise them all year long, rather than factor in unit sales and aggressive Ultimate Team microtransactions, like FIFA does.

In reality though... this just wasn't finished. The original "release" was September 2021, but eFootball was received so disastrously - we're talking literal heads from players detaching, bodies contorting and physics bugging out - that it's been a LONG road to the game's 1.0 patch, this April.

Now with a fresh version on iOS and that patch in play... it's the same old BS. eFootball's base performance problems have been improved, but the core game was clearly designed to be filled in over time. Offence and defence have a terrible balance of animation priority vs responsiveness, and it's still clear across 2022 that under the guise of being free to play, Konami are testing the market to see what they can get away with.
