After playing this game for a few minutes, you’ll wonder if this is some kind of a joke. Despite being almost completely broken and incomplete, this game somehow sold over 20k units.

2. Sim City – 2013

Why does a Sim City game need to have an always-on connection in order to play it? It’s almost as if they were trying to stop people from enjoying the game. In the name of trying to prevent piracy, they prevented game play altogether.

It took a good week until you could get on and reliably enjoy the game, and by then the door was already burst wide open for a competition like Cities: Skylines to take over. Without the mess that was Sim City, Cities may not have had such a great reception. Not that it wasn’t a great game in its own right, but it’s almost like picking up a copy also allowed you to stick it to EA.

1. Ride to Hell: Retribution – 2013

Forget about the cliche, uninteresting story or the goofy dialogue. Imagine you’re just riding your motorcycle from one location to another, seems like that should be simple enough, right? But then the ground will disappear, and you’ll fall into nothingness.

This is either very high-art and meant to hold a mirror to society and to give us all sorts of deep metaphorical meanings, or it’s just a terrible and broken game. Sometimes, random bits of the games code will pop up, almost as if to mock you. They did get one thing right, and that’s the title.
