2023 has been a great year for gaming with many of the best games scoring 9's and 10's. However, there were also some big misses this year, including games that fans had to wait years for, only to be very disappointed.
Metacritic, the site where video games get average review scores, has announced the 10 worst games of 2023. We've listed them for you below along with a trailer for the game.
Although the games listed below received high scores, there are some games that received worse scores. These games are not included in the top 10 list by Metacritic because there are currently too few reviews. Metacritic's rule is that you must post at least 7 reviews. We've included these games as an add-on at the bottom of this article.
