The Worst Games of 2021 - Very Non-definitive Edition

The awards ceremony for the best games of the year is over. But what about the worst? Since there's still no equivalent of the Golden Raspberries for games, let's use our list of the most disappointing releases of the past year as a guide.

Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance

  1. Released: June 22
  2. Developer: Tuque Games
  3. Platforms: Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One
  4. Average rating on Metacritic: 53/100

Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance tempted fantasy lovers with the land of Forgotten Realms, the protagonist Drizzt Do'Urden, known from the Baldur's Gate series, and the general atmosphere of the popular D&D universe. This time, however, instead of a lonely RPG expedition with an emphasis on the story, we received a game that focuses on pure action – in online cooperation mode, at that. Unfortunately, instead of an addictive TPP dungeon crawler, it turned out to be a mediocre, underdeveloped action game, which is exhausting and not much fun.

This production disappoints with plot and combat mechanics. It suffers from a small variety of opponents, general monotony and repetition. It's a festival of poorly realized ideas, and in the end, the player is hit by mistakes and poor optimization. You can try to squeeze some fun out of this game if you play with friends, but playing solo is mainly frustrating.
