I Played 10 Of The WORST Reviewed Steam Games

What's the worst game you've ever played? 🎮

Son, don't let me find these games under your bed later.

I gotta say I really like how the genre of "steam dumpster diving" videos slowly grows here on YouTube. You never know what you'll find, haha.

My brother is an artist at Double Fine. Those fortnight game pitch & vote things are done by the upper management during the space of time between projects. The constraints mean that the games have two weeks to be done, with the different staff members sometimes working outside of their specialty zone. He told me that it is a cool, creative process, and when i saw him over christmas break, he was talking about his pitch for the latest fortnight project. The games have to be started and finished in the two week period, so you throw any QA and bugtesting out the window. I didn't know they sold the games, I assumed they did it for a change of pace, and that was it!

I remember playing Godus years ago. It was so bad I couldn't progress at a certain point and abandoned it, sadly because in the beginning it was actually somewhat fun

Say what you want about the gameplay about Their Land, but props to the developer (or if he bought them props to the creator) of those face animations in the interview portion. It sometimes look like it's just facial capture, but there's moments that point to it being hand animated and it looks so good (aside from those little parts that feel off, but for a single person it's quite impressive). Hopefully he (or whoever created them) keeps at it since those micromovements are very on point to feeling like an actual human rather than some of the robotic animations we see today (Starfield at points) where the eye's are constantly moving, little headshakes and so on.

I feel like part of the charm of Steam is the super indie trash you can find on it. It really feels like almost anyone can make a game and slap it on there, and they'll be right there with all the AAA titles coming out. The nature of Steam of course means that there are a lot of garbage games to wade through, but you can also find the odd hidden gem in the pile.

I had a great time playing Godus back in the day, I was too young to understand what shady tactics they did tho

"If you put a crew member in a job they don't like, they'll end up depressed and sad." Spacebase DF-9 sounds like a game that Josh from Let's Game It Out would play.

I looked at the list before but I would never had thought to actually see those games reviewed. As someone who is addicted to Long-Form analysis videos I really appreciate the change of scenery. Well done son

I'm proud of you, son. It takes a lot of guts to try something new

As someone hailing from Germany... yes, we are ashamed of Autobahn Polizei as well. It's a laughingstock here, together with the ten million other 'Simulators' from Aerosoft (the Publisher). Well done dredging through it, son.

Regardless of how good or bad Theirland was, I think it's a perfect example of why you shouldn't trust ads for games you see on social media apps.

what an unexpected ray of sonshine. this feels like getting at least some kind of a breather mentally after what was... quite a wild last series. take care son.

An idea you might like: taking broken games still being sold on Steam or GOG, analyzing how broken they are, then applying fixes provided by the community and how well the game runs after, and if the game is worth playing when fixed. Yeah I came up with this because it happened to me. I recently purchased Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator because it sounded interesting, but it was unplayable. I was able to find a fix in a forum post and now the game runs great.

It's funny because the opening cutscene in Their Land looks to have some really solid facial animation and kind of avoids the whole uncanny "dead eyes" that are so common in low budget, crappy games in the same vein.

You might actually be on to something here, Son. A series where you review games that could/should have been good but various circumstances lead to them being bad like Matt Mcmuscles' famous "What Happened" series would probably be pretty entertaining.

The fact that Godus was the best mobile game i ever played says everything about mobile games we need to know.

I was a huge fan of the flat-out series! As soon as the dev gave up control of the series it was sad but they did make a new game that feels like hanging out with an old friend. You should definitely play wreckfest

Important note about DF9. It's just unfinished. It was an early case of early access scams, and killed doublefine's reputation for me. It was in early alpha when they just slapped 1.0 on it and billed at as a full game
