Worst game you have played?

Let me pick out a few stinkers from my Steam library:

The Binding of Isaac
Bioshock 2
Command and Conquer 4
Duke Nukem Forever
Killing Floor
Quake 4

I find these to be terrible games in their own right - nothing to do with being disappointed after buying into hype, they're just bad games. In my utterly objective and correct opinion.
 
Dawn of war 2

Only game I've ever returned in my 15+ years of gaming.

Nothing actually wrong with the game, just ruined a already working popular franchise and stuck it's name on it to get extra sales which is BS.
 
I would like to add Supreme Commander II to the list as well. That was frightfully bad in comparison to the 1st game and its expansion Forged Alliance. Still play that to this day while it's sequel sits in the steam library never to be installed again :(
 
Deus Ex hr

After everybody raving about it so much I tried to get into it about 5 times and I just could not switch onto it.
 
I actually loved Sleeping Dogs. I found it tightened up a lot of issues i had with that style of game (though a few issues of its own, of course, not helped by the budget constraints), though given I'm from Hong Kong myself the nostalgia probably rose tinted my perspective somewhat.

Game Of Thrones was a particular low point, though I have only myself to blame for that (SOMEBODY GIVE ME DRAGON AGE 3 ALREADY)

As for others...

I was actually really disappointed by Walking Dead. For all the hype about giving you choices it felt so painfully linear compared to Dragon Age/Mass Effect with so many choices basically being nullified 10 seconds-10 minutes after the fact because they didn't have the budget to develop more than one main story arc (e.g. if you 'choose' to leave the group with Clementine and one of the women when you're camped next to the train, which feels like it should be a huge decision with huge ramifications, as soon as you go to get Clementine the woman leaves anyway, and in the first episode you choose to save someone, but the person you don't save is quietly guaranteed to die about 10 minutes into the next episode). Maybe Dragon Age spoiled me in this regard but I couldn't connect to a story that was pretending to give me choices which it didn't actually back up.

I'm going to agree with Bioshock aswell, for the same reasons as Max Payne wasn't liked.

It took a dark disturbing underwater nightmare and turned it into a bright game with very little atmosphere

There are many criticisms I could level at Bioshock but lack of atmosphere is not one of them. Makes me wonder if you even played it?

I thought it was underrated tbh. Doesn't do a bad job at all of getting the atmosphere and general feel of the world across imo. The controls could be better, and it needs more optimisation, but it has potential... A sequel could be very good if they learnt from their mistakes.

Championship Manager 4. A bug riddled abortion of a game which the developers simply gave up trying to patch as it would have meant they would inconveniently have to fix it before CM 03/04 came out. This left a seriously bad taste in the mouth. Thank god I have now finally had enough of football manager games.
 
The amount of diversity in this thread is quite funny, I think every game has been posted as the worst game lol.

"And the survey says...Every game!"

My personal hate is the Grid games. Theyre complete cack.

I remember playing it at the time and thing 'wtf have they done?'. A few years ago I bought it for something like 79p because, well it couldn't be to bad, I should really give it a go. Nope, still rubbish. Human Revolution was good though.
