Top 10 Worst Video Games Of 2025 So Far

Marvels Spider-Man 2 PC version (2025)

With the amount of PC releases Sony has published so far, one would hope theyve nailed how to properly port their games. To their credit, this time was not as bad as the port for The Last of Us: Part I. Even so, the state Marvels Spider-Man 2 released in was totally unacceptable. Players reported frequent crashes and freezing as well as inconsistent dips in frame rate. Couple that with cutscenes suffering from massive desyncing and freezing, and you have an outing for Spidey that isnt anywhere close to being spectacular. At the time of this video, some players have had smoother experiences while others are not so lucky.

WWE 2K25 (2025)

For the most part, WWE 2K25 kinda repeats a lot of what its predecessors did and even enhances some of them with expanded mechanics in modes like MyGM. However, the reason why WWE 2K is back on our stink list is because of The Island. The Island is the single worst part of this game and it destroys everything about the series structure. Accessing certain game modes requires interacting with this awful aspect of the game while many cosmetics that were available in previous games are now locked behind The Islands own absurd requirements. It brings the players time wrestling to a screeching halt and severely dampens 2K25 entirely. If this mode is to reappear in 2K26, we may see a new era of awful WWE games And just when this IP managed to be redeemed.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour (2025)

Nintendo was pretty adamant about not bundling this in with the Switch 2, so much so that they demand another ten bucks just for you to access this tech demo. What you get are some of the most mundane minigames you could possibly conceive to showcase the Switch 2. Really, we needed to charge people for cursor mazes, balloon popping, and quizzes? The sheer disappointment here made us deeply reminisce about Wii Sports, the game that managed to become a phenomenon in North America BECAUSE it was bundled with the Wii AND was a fun game that showed off the consoles capabilities. Welcome Tour shows off the Switch 2s capabilities, yes, butwheres the fun in playing something like Guess the Frame Rate?

Deck of Haunts (2025)

Its a real shame to put an indie game on a list like this, especially one with a unique concept like Deck of Haunts. You take control of your very own haunted house and must either kill those who enter your domain or push them to the brink of insanity. Survive a full month to become the most dangerous haunted house to ever live. Theres just one problem: the game is obscenely oppressive to the point where youre not likely to survive after the first week. Not only that, but the options youre given between new cards and new rooms to build are extremely limiting due to their high costs. This imbalance in difficulty makes Deck of Haunts much more frustrating and unenjoyable than we wish it was, and many, many other players have voiced the same complaint.

Venus Vacation Prism: Dead Or Alive Xtreme (2025)

For many DOA fans, a dating sim spin-off sounds like an awesome idea for a series surrounded by hot men and women. But one would expect such a game to include, you know, characters from Dead Or Alive. And thats what Venus Vacation Prism completely forgot to do. Sure, we have Honoka, but shes arguably the worst character from DOA 5. Then, theres Tamaki who appeared in DOA 6, but debuted in Dead Or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation. So, she doesnt really count. As for the other five, none of them are the DOA ladies, and none of them are even remotely interesting. And when you dont have Kasumi, Ayane, Hitomi, Tina, Christie, Kokoro, Leifang, or Lisa let alone any of the dudeswhy exactly is this a Dead Or Alive Xtreme game?

Neptunia Riders vs. Dogoos (2025)

We dont mean to bash on two weeby games back to back, but Neptunia Riders vs. Dogoos could have been a somewhat interesting game. Drive and fight gooey dog-like creatures with a motorcycle? Sign us up! Cool conceptbut poor execution. Neptunia Riders doesnt do anything interesting with its idea for the entire two to three hour campaign. Theres no personality in the animations, none in the mechanics, not even in the enemies themselves. On top of that, theres nothing else to do once youre finished with the game. It makes the forty dollar asking price feel like a slap in the face.

Spray Paint Simulator (2025)

Given the massive success FuturLab saw with PowerWash Simulator, one would expect a game like Spray Paint Simulator to study its competitor and try to at least match the quality. So, include a meaty campaign with fun, replayable jobs, neat tools to make jobs easier or allow the player to be more efficient, intuitive controls, and a steady pace to properly get players going on their spray-painting career. Alas, no. Spray Paint Simulator is all over the place with pacing while offering up a significantly smaller campaign than its more renowned competitor. Honestly, the fifteen bucks isnt worth it - just save up the extra ten dollars and get PowerWash Simulator. The base game alone will keep you busy and entertained for far longer than the ten-hour Spray Paint Simulator can.

Glover (QUByte Classics) (2025)

After several decades, Glover makes his long-awaited return to consoles, and hes back in a far worse state than hes ever been in. Indeed, the original Glover was a bit wonky in its controls and physics, but it was a neat idea overall. The remaster we received in 2025 was a technical nightmare. While PC players enjoyed a simple port in 2022, console players got to relive the N64 cult classic with severe optimization problems ranging from frame drops to insane amounts of screen-tearing. The controls we can forgive, and the lack of neat trinkets like dev interviews or design documents can be overlooked. However, Piko Interactive has a lot of questions to answer for how the game launched.

Captain Blood (2025)

The important thing to note about Captain Blood is that this game was canceled not because of how the game turned out, but because of legal issues when the original developer went bankrupt. Developers SeaWolf Studio and General Arcade have revived the game and finally brought it across the finish line twenty-two years after it was initially conceived. And the game sucks. It just sucks. For as cool as it is to see this game finally come to fruition, Captain Blood wouldnt have survived even in the mid-2000s. The combat is bland with simplistic controls and boring attacks while the level design is uninspired and dull. Really, only video game historians can truly find reasons to appreciate this game.

MindsEye (2025)

From the moment it was announced, everything around MindsEye was off. The closed preview event, the lack of review codes, the marketings dependence on Leslie Benziess status as a former producer for Rockstar Games, the weird remarks from co-CEO Mark Gerhard about how people who had negative opinions about the game were financed by someone... Everything about this game has been weird from the very beginning, and after playing it for ourselves Good lord, where do we start? The awful shadow quality and texture work? The finicky, dumb AI that decides when it wants to work correctly? The complete lack of challenge in combat? The mundane gunplay that makes ammo a meaningless resource? How about the ridiculously random minigames? Or the presence of an open world that youre not allowed to roam free in? Or how about the awful pathing and mini-map that can easily result in you failing a mission for supposedly abandoning it? Why not tack on a mediocre story where dialogue makes no sense and provides no coherent flow in exposition as characters constantly talk in annoyingly vague terms? Not even hardcore GTA and Rockstar Games fans can stomach this one. Welp, someone reset the Days Since Last Massive Flop counter. We lasted almost six months this time.
