The gameplay is one of the most important points to enjoy a video game. The new The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom has shown that, with two or three very well polished mechanics, you don’t need more to have an excellent game. But in this article we come to talk about just the opposite, the 15 most hated games for their gameplay on Nintendo Switch. Let’s get started!
1. ARK Survival Evolved
With this title we are facing one of the worst ports, not to say the worst by far, of those that we can find in the hybrid of Nintendo.
After seeing what other companies have done with games like The Witcher 3 o Alien Insolationthe gaming experience of ARK Survival Evolved in the Nintendo Switch it is disastrous Poor optimization of both image and audio, constant fps drops, not reaching 720p…. all wrong.
2. Balan Wonderworld
Named the worst game of 2021, the union of the creators of Sonic, Yuji Naka y Naoto Ohshima con Square Enix it was a big disappointment.
It fails at everything. Crude and repetitive gameplay, simple controls, and a level design far below what is desirable because of the costumes you can wear. And without commenting on his story, which makes water on all sides.
3. Contra: Rogue Corps
To the saga Contra returned in 2019 with the latter Contra: Rogue Corpsa title that only managed to disappoint its fans.
His control is by far the worst in the entire franchise. Very clunky and full of input lag, which makes it exasperating to play. Adding that both the scenarios and the enemies have very generic and repetitive designs, it is not a very desirable game.
4. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy
We come to another of the most recent and well-known disappointments. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition.
Compilation of the three installments most loved by fans of the saga, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft: Vice City y Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but now with more bugs, more frame drops, more graphic defects and worse performance. The definitive remaster… that we did not deserve.
5. Kingdom Hearts Cloud Version
To begin with, it must be made clear that none of the games in the saga Kingdom Hearts They are bad games or have bad gameplay.
The problem is when you decide to make a Cloud version, to play them through the cloud (and on top of that for €60). If you do not have a good Internet connection, you will not be able to enjoy the game. We can understand the Cloud version of Kingdom Hearts 3… But the first Kingdom Hearts is over 20 years old.
6. Deadly Premonition 2
The first Deadly Premonition it became a cult game with many fans behind it.
Many were looking forward to this second installment, which was nothing but disappointing. Deadly Premonition 2 Suffered from constant frame drops, boring and bland gameplay, mediocre mini-games. The performance is so bad that outdoors it can cause dizziness.
7. The Elder Scrolls: Blades
To the saga Elder Scrolls It is one of the largest franchises of the Bethesda company, if not the largest.
But Elder Scrolls Blades suffers from major gameplay issues. In this dungeon crawler, the dungeons and enemies are repetitive, and the combat mechanics are very basic. We will be able to hit, cover ourselves and cast spells at the right time. The good thing is that it is a free game… with the downside that it is full of micro transactions to be able to advance.
8. Loot Hero DX
Considered another of the worst games of Nintendo Switch, Loot Hero Dx It’s about… going forward.
The game lacks difficulty. You move forward, you press a button. Then you go forward again, press the same button. Repetitive, easy, and you’ll get through it in less than an hour. boring.
9. Cooking Mama: Cookstar
This game received numerous criticisms for its gameplay. It was monotonous, very repetitive and did not add anything new compared to its other installments.
And if I speak in the past, it is not because they have improved it based on updates, but because Nintendo has decided to remove it from the eShop. If you got it physically, you’re one of those “lucky” people who can still play it.
10. Fimbul
This isometric view action-adventure game developed by Zaxis It is one of those games that promised, but came to nothing.
Its gameplay has several very negative points, such as the lack of fluidity, diminished by its graphic quality and its low resolution. The camera is anything but pleasant, and the best thing the game can have, which is the combat, is weighed down by how repetitive it becomes after a few hours of play. Here we leave you our fimbul analysis.
11. Vroom in the Night Sky
The best thing about this game could be said to be the idea. We are a witch who drives a motorcycle.
And it would be Everything else is awful. The game is graphically ugly and without textures. But the worst is in the gameplay. It’s not one iota of fun to drive and suffers framerate drops every two for these. It is logical that this in the list of the worst games of Nintendo Switch.
12. Tiny Racer
What a horrible thing about gameplay!
We are talking about a car game, where the worst thing is to control the car. The poor physics of the game added to an Artificial Intelligence that is extremely aggressive make this game one of the worst in the catalog of Nintendo Switch.
13. Arc of Alchemist
As a big fan of RPGwhen I start one I hope that the title will take me to a great world, with great characters and a long and entertaining story.
Well Arc of Alchemist it has none of that. The combat is some of the simplest I’ve ever seen in an RPG. The world is deserted (literally, because it’s a desert) and there are no cities or Npcs to interact with, and character progression becomes extremely repetitive. A big disappointment.
14. Cat Go!
Another title found in our catalog of the worst games for Nintendo Switch.
In Cat Go! Ultimate Challenge We will have to control a cat that jumps between platforms, but the gameplay is very rough and little animated. The stages are empty and it offers no fun. At least you can choose between 8 types of cats, all of them very cute.
15. Waifu Impact
And finally, we have a title that already with the name says it all. This “shooter” where the main marketing asset is that you can control waifus to defeat other waifus, using water pistols… No comments. If you’re wondering about the gameplay, it’s not fun. It’s just fan service that wants to live off names like Genshin Impact to sell what it can.
And for you, what is the game with the worst gameplay on the console? Would you add any more to the list? We read you in comments
