Worst video games that you have played?

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, which was jarringly childish compared to Explorers of Sky and absolutely crammed with toxic positivity. 😭 And kind of problematic in some instances, like iirc Gurdurr was a builder who suffered a permanent, debilitating back injury that left him unable to do work like he used to. He became heartbroken and turned to scamming people to get by, until he had a change of heart thanks to the main characters. So like, he found another, similar career that still made him happy, right? Maybe like an architecture designer, or he focuses on running shop while his Timburr assistants do the hard physical labor that he's no longer able to do? NOPE, he just needed to try harder and think positively 🙃 one change of mindset and he's running around building houses again like nothing ever happened.

This is coming from someone who's painfully idealistic and hates bittersweet outcomes to the point of indecision, but the game's continual rejection of any realistic, pragmatic, or god forbid, slightly cynical thinking in favor of "just think positively!!" (to the point where thinking any other way was literally causing the apocalypse) felt shallow and deeply patronizing. actual worlds away from how heartfelt and moving EoS was
I lost interest in Gates to Infinity after being unable to defeat Gurdurr and Scraggy for over a year and remember that this was still only the very beginning of the game and my character was Axew which didn’t have any type disadvantages to either boss and my partner was Pikachu. After l finally defeated them, my enthusiasm was completely gone and I didn’t want to play the game anymore.
 
I'm a huge fan of the Devil May Cry series. However, DMC2 has to be the worst video game I've played. I have been warned by various players and reviewers that DMC2 is the weakest entry of the series. Honestly, I thought their warnings were exaggerations of faulty mechanics of the game, however, I immediately realized what they were talking about. Devil May Cry 2 completely ignores what made its gameplay fun and innovative. Instead of providing the player with a plethora of weapons, DMC2 gives players 3 weapons which strips combo creativity and replayability. From lackluster bosses to forgettable soundtracks, DMC2 is a shell of its predecessor. Nevertheless, I ultimately finished the game for any valuable lore I can obtain.
 
Meme Run. It’s the infamous Wii U game that was removed from the eShop because it had copyrighted characters. Even when it was new the memes were super outdated. The gameplay is an auto runner that tries to disrupt you with things popping on screen or playing obnoxiously loud sounds.

Zach and Cody for the DS. It’s a cheap 2D platformer licensed game with hideous looking graphics and the worst controls I’ve ever felt in a game that cost real money. Even when I was 8 I knew this game was terrible.
 
I remember playing this DSi Ware game where your some teenager who goes to some school that makes you a pop culture celebrity. I can’t think of the name but it was mostly dialogue and mini games that had short clips of licensed songs like Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend. Not very fun tbh and I could never progress in the game because you need a certain number of points and it seemed like no matter how well you did, it wasn’t enough to continue the story. Dialogue was too cliché and as if it were a bad teen drama/sitcom with stuff like “I don’t like you because I’m the popular mean girl and you’re new!” Or “I want to outshine my new rival because I’m the new kid who thinks she’s one of the most talented kids in this school.” The art style was generic and like those mobile games where you match icons and wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t amazing either.
