welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst games of 2022 so far
off your allies
engage the enemy or corrupt and steal
his power for yourself for this list
we're taking a look at the worst games
that launched during the first half of
2022. did you play any of these
disappointing games let us know down in
the
comments number 10 sonic origins
[Music]
on the surface sonic origins is a
somewhat decent collection of classic
sonic games enjoy sonic the hedgehog
sonic 2 cd3 and knuckles as well as a
plethora of extra modes that give each
game more replayability however it's a
somewhat different story when playing on
pc sonic origins is plagued with bugs
bugs bugs and yeah more bugs making the
classics look more ancient than they did
before games are still playable yes but
for 40 bucks confusing marketing in its
paywall content and the delisting of
significantly better ports sonic origins
should have turned out better

number nine nintendo switch sports
speaking of games that failed to live up
to their potential nintendo switch
sports was another title that dropped
the ball quick though we were happy to
finally be playing bowling and chambara
with friends again the game is severely
lean and content for comparison 2009's
wii sports resort came with a whopping
13 sports some of which included
different variants of said sports again
the six included in switch sports are
solid yet why are we having to wait
roughly half a year for just golf to be
added much like one two switch this was
another overpriced package that should
have been included at the switch's
launch get moving together locally or
online
make sure those joy-con controllers are
ready
number eight roller champions pick up
the ball and pass four gates around the
rink to trigger them and open up the
goal
then take aim shoot and score
ubisoft has been struggling the last few
years and finding their own big bang in
the live service market and roller
champions is another failed attempt to
add to the conglomerate's already
extensive graveyard we'll admit that
there is potential in the game the
mechanics and controls are refined and
the level design is up to par
unfortunately the gameplay gets
monotonous rather quickly and the
character customization fails to leave
any room for player expression those are
pretty significant problems for an
online multiplayer game to have and with
competitors like fortnite knockout city
and call of duty war zone going above
and beyond with their offerings i'm not
so sure if there's any room for roller
champions now go get him champion and
whenever you hit the rink keep one thing
in mind you've got what it takes to roll
up to glory
number seven ko the kangaroo
[Music]
over the last several years 3d
platformers have seen a massive
resurgence thanks to games like a hat in
time new super lucky's tale and of
course super mario odyssey one would
hope that ko the kangaroo would make a
surprising leap forward with the modern
age and pick up on the innovations made
today alas no in addition to technical
problems ko the kangaroo came with an
extremely short campaign awful writing
and voice acting and fail to implement
anything interesting in its level design
and it's pretty upsetting to see a game
about a boxing kangaroo come up with
such a bare bones combat system
[Music]
number six blade runner enhanced edition
i'm a blade runner you don't believe me
call lieutenant coza we're closed
we're not here to buy little manly
believe me he's the least of our
problems night dive studios usually
knocks it out of the park with their
remasters but in the case of blade
runner ruff doesn't even begin to
describe it blade runner enhanced
edition attempts to refine and modernize
the 1997 pc game with updated visuals
increased frame rates and such problem
is that for every improvement it makes
it worsens another portion of the game
audio bugs occasionally broken controls
and horrendous ui severely hamper the
experience our advice just play the
classic version or save your 10 bucks
for something else because this ain't it
one more word from him and he'll be dead
number five waifu impact
we're no stranger to lazy games with
lazy titles that flaunt anime girls and
their lazy skimpy attire somehow waifu
impact takes that laziness to a level we
haven't seen since the days of digital
homicide run around an empty island as
an anime girl in a bikini spraying water
at other anime girls in bikinis while
collecting gold stars and unlocking lewd
pictures of your anime girl in a bikini
and that's really all there is there's
no end game there's no real reward there
isn't even a story you're just plopped
onto a generic island and forced to
collect awful artwork while listening to
painfully monotonous music take it from
the writer of this video who suffered
through the entire game twice just for
the platinum trophy it was not worth it
number 4 diablo immortal
you know normally we put a manipulative
game like diablo immortal at number one
for the simple fact of its sleazy
monetization and exploitative design
free-to-play players are punished with
imposing caps on how often high level
gear will be given and many found
themselves getting matched with players
who spent money for high level gear in
other words the game quickly enforces a
pay to win model and blizzard
entertainment's deception has cursed the
game to become the lowest user rated
game on metacritic beating out 2020's
warcraft 3 reforged also developed by
blizzard entertainment so why is diablo
immortal this low well it's generating a
million bucks per day so folks clearly
aren't that mad right
number three gran turismo 7.
despite its criticisms of significant
time spent in menus gran turismo 7
earned much praise for its visual
fidelity and gameplay so why is it so
high on the list well for starters sony
and polyphony digital threw in micro
transactions after review scores were
given out and they deliberately lowered
rewards increasing the amount of time
players needed to grind to unlock their
favorite cars according to director
kazunuri yamauchi the high prices for
the cars was to convey their value and
rarity while payouts have increased
since launch the prices have increased
as well and the playerbase has taken to
using a scripted ai to play the game for
them and reduce the grind

number two babylon's fall
if you are surrounded
use the spectral
attack and then launch your enemy into
the air
babylon's fall already had an abysmal
showing when it launched a beta test in
late 2021 with a handful of months left
to iron things out before launch one
would hope platinum games figured out
how to make babylon's fall a tad better
one couldn't be further from the truth
babylon's fall truly lacked any passion
for itself reusing the same few assets
over and over again as well as failing
to provide any variety in its enemies
couple that with miscommunication over
the game's mechanics and progression and
you have yourself a giant train wreck
that was being played by only one person
at one point

number one crossfire x
the absolute worst thing you can do to
your game is aim for sheer mediocrity
that is what crossfire x can be
described as mediocre while it attempts
to copy counter-strike in terms of
gameplay and format it forgets to copy
everything that made valve's tactical
shooter so great the controls are
abysmal the characters and story are
utterly forgettable the game runs worse
than a potato and the overall
presentation screams generic with the
single player developed by remedy
entertainment we were hoping there would
be some redeeming qualities here and yet
here we are we're curious to see if
something else will overthrow it come
the end of the year
