The Lord of the Rings: Gollum topped the list of the worst games of 2023 according to Metacritic

The list excludes "Skull Island: Rise of Kong" and the notorious "The Day Before" because they received little attention from specialized critics.

The Metacritic aggregator summed up the year 2023, compiling a list of the worst games released in the past year on various platforms.

The ranking includes the empty and seemingly unimpressive horror game "Greyhill Incident," the "soulless" Flashback 2, and "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum," considered the worst adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings" in history.

• The Lord of the Rings: Gollum : 34 points
• Flashback 2 : 35 points
• Greyhill Incident : 38 points
• Quantum Error : 40 points
• Testament: The Order of High-Human : 41 points
• Crime Boss: Rockay City : 43 points
• Hellboy: Web of Wyrd : 47 points
• Gangs of Sherwood : 48 points
• Loop8: Summer of Gods : 49 points
• Gargoyles Remastered : 49 points

If you were expecting to see "The Day Before" or "Skull Island: Rise of Kong" on the list, you would be disappointed, as these games did not gather the necessary minimum of reviews from critics to be included in the ranking.
