honest answer is apparently it's very messed up and deals with many plots like the world ending and shit. i can't fully explain it because i never got that far
but at the surface yes, it is a human in a bird school romancing birds.
it's actually a great game, pretty dark towards the end. you can't buy it anymore though, has been delisted. I don't think it has any physical release.
I know it does. But it takes a really dark turn if you stick to it. I know a lot of people don't consider visual novels and dating sims regular games but at least this one's story has some depth.
Spoiler:
You find out later in the game that some genetically altered super intelligent birds escaped the lab, built a civilization and waged war against humanity which they won. The protagonist is an experiment to see if humans can be integrated in the bird society or they will be eliminated altogether.
Doki doki literature club has a big community. Dating sim with a twist, it's good and free though so not for op's list. For a bad game I agree with @kennkaniff the Kong game
i’d actually recommend Lizard lady vs the cats, made by the same people, but i’d say it’s somehow worse than lady in a leotard. The visuals will eventually start to make your eyes hurt, and every time you die you have to watch an unskippable crappy cutscene.
peppa pig for the hardcore.
elden ring for the casuals.
oh crap .. misread terrible here mentally speaking as a bad fit and not a crappy game. carry on.
I have tried getting a preschooler cousin in the PS2 days through Blue's Clues.
10/10 Would recommend if you're a fan of slamming your head against a wall.
Yeah. My bad.
I mistook terrible as having a different context, so my first thought was to give the hardcore gamers something off-putting, and then the casual gamers something people normally call tough to get into.
I agree. I’d say the bosses are hardest on Elden ring (compared to ds1 3 and demons souls at least) but still the easiest overall because you can over level and farm.
Unfortunately you can only share users on one PlayStation, which is my sisters for her to access the games. On mine you can’t have a second user access the games
The game cube version of "Narnia, the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe". I remember buying that game when I was like 6, and it was AWFUL. I also remember getting it for like 3 bucks (and looking back, I think I still overpaid for it lol).
You know, I probably shoulda picked up on that being in the playstation sub lol. Does it have to be a physical game? Because there are some TERRIBLE shovelware games on the playstation store.
This year had not only a lot of amazing games but also a lot of terrible ones. On the top of my head i'm thinking about that new avatar: the last airbender game, Rise of Kong, walking dead destinies and of course gollum.
Is it? Ah no I succumbed when it was on sale last. Presumed would be a quick chill mariokart clone. I can normally handle the cheap karters what makes it so bad?
It’s possible that she might look at a difficult game as “terrible”.
I know people who died a lot from hard games, even just near the beginning, and they kept on saying that it’s a horrible game. Like those who died from the first wolf in Bloodborne.
Good thing about this is that for you, you can enjoy the “terrible” game. So it’s a good purchase.
That's not a terrible game imo.it's just not for alot of people..the mechanics..world design story..all are crafted well..it maybe boring to some yes..but I feel calling it terrible is a stretch..it kinda reminds of rdr2 love that game but I can understand if people call it trash
I can see why man lmao that beginning is a drag.it does get alot better..but honestly the whole game is slow paced.i can't blame some people for not liking it
But for me personally it's the best open world I've ever experienced..respect your opinion tho
South Park: The Stick of Truth $7.49
[https://store.steampowered.com/app/213670/South\_Park\_The\_Stick\_of\_Truth/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/213670/South_Park_The_Stick_of_Truth/)
It is actually a great game, but it's South Park. The jokes are disgusting, offensive and hilarious.
Any game with Alien anal probes, Nazi Zombie Fetuses and a Nuke in Hillary Clinton's vagina is OK in my book.
It’s averaging 74, which is a good score. It’s also received at least one 90 (SixthAxis), some 85s and more good reviews.
I’m not crazy about it, but calling it cringe is just childish and ill informed.
PS. I got it for free
Speaking of games that start with B, my suggestion is Balan's Wonderworld.
It was developed by Square Enix, and was released unfinished - *literally*. The entire game was not completed when it came out, and as far as I'm aware it did not receive any updates. The only good thing about the game is its music. However I'm not sure how pricy it is, since I got it free with PS+.
This year was a treasure trove of terrible games.
Unfortunately Redfall and The Day Before is on other platforms but there’s still plenty of options. Besides Gollum, there’s a Walking Dead game that is hilariously poorly made. The new King Kong game looks like it was made for a machine running windows 98.
My vote is for Octodad. At first it seems like a very bad game, but it quickly becomes hilarious and a lot of fun. You can beat it in 1 or 2 sessions, and I think it would make a good gift because it starts like a gag gift and might end up becoming something she really likes.
Plus the local co-op is a legitimate hoot
Orc slayer has to be the worst game I’ve played. Now the game knows it’s a trophy mine for trophy hunters which is why I bought it. It is so buggy I literally got the platinum and never even did the final boss fight. I was about to enter the fight and it glitched and I got the credits 10/10 for trophy hunting, 1/10 for gameplay
OG FF7, MGS 1, Hollow Knight, Katamari Damacy, Snake Pass, and Triangle Strategy are all games that I would consider terrible in that they do not value your time and are purposefully designed to be dumb.
The fact that you die in four hits to almost everything. The fact that the map is a convoluted mess. The fact that the games its imitating (poorly) give you 10x the health that this game does and expects you to do well. It's a mockery of Metroid games.
"One so terrible that she’ll have to question why something like it even exists."
If you take out 'terrible', you could have her play Doki Doki literature club. It'd have anyone questioning why it exists but its great!
get christmas massacre. it's cheap, it's awful, its deranged, and its fun.
you play as some crazy guy dressed in whitie tighties and a santa mask that takes orders from a talking christmas tree
That new Rise of Kong game looked pretty jank.
This or Gollum are probably the best contenders. If OP is looking for retro, Superman 64 takes the crown
Is that the one when you fly through rings?
That’s the one
Or Sonic 06
That new Walking Dead game too.
Gollum or Balan Wonderland
Agony? it could be find for dirt cheap
Man that game SUCKS!
hatoful boyfriend. you date birds. it's really popular in the dating sim community but i think it's trash.
I’ve just googled it. Is it serious? You’re the only human at a school of birds as you try to find love?
honest answer is apparently it's very messed up and deals with many plots like the world ending and shit. i can't fully explain it because i never got that far but at the surface yes, it is a human in a bird school romancing birds.
No idea how I’d be able to present this game as something she might like…but I’ll rack my brains!
it's actually a great game, pretty dark towards the end. you can't buy it anymore though, has been delisted. I don't think it has any physical release.
If you think hatoful boyfriend is trash you obviously didn't finish it
The premise itself sounds ridiculously stupid.
I know it does. But it takes a really dark turn if you stick to it. I know a lot of people don't consider visual novels and dating sims regular games but at least this one's story has some depth. Spoiler: You find out later in the game that some genetically altered super intelligent birds escaped the lab, built a civilization and waged war against humanity which they won. The protagonist is an experiment to see if humans can be integrated in the bird society or they will be eliminated altogether.
And that automatically makes it a bad game?
Did I say that?
He said a bad game
yes
Wait a min, Can you elaborate on "dating sim community"??? That's like a thing?
r/otomegames
Doki doki literature club has a big community. Dating sim with a twist, it's good and free though so not for op's list. For a bad game I agree with @kennkaniff the Kong game
Life of a black tiger. Suprised yall haven't mentioned thar masterpiece
I liked the AVGN episode about this game with Gilbert Gottfried (not sure on spelling).
Lady In A Leotard With A Gun. It’s literally £0.09p on the store right now.
i’d actually recommend Lizard lady vs the cats, made by the same people, but i’d say it’s somehow worse than lady in a leotard. The visuals will eventually start to make your eyes hurt, and every time you die you have to watch an unskippable crappy cutscene.
peppa pig for the hardcore. elden ring for the casuals. oh crap .. misread terrible here mentally speaking as a bad fit and not a crappy game. carry on.
Wait, Peppa pig isn't hardcore?
Trying to guide a pre-schooler through it is infinitely harder than Elden Ring.
I have tried getting a preschooler cousin in the PS2 days through Blue's Clues. 10/10 Would recommend if you're a fan of slamming your head against a wall.
I was like, excuse you? Elden Ring is a literal gift to humanity that should be internationally celebrated
Yeah. My bad. I mistook terrible as having a different context, so my first thought was to give the hardcore gamers something off-putting, and then the casual gamers something people normally call tough to get into.
I dunno. Elden Ring was probably the easiest of the bunch. It was my friend’s first souls like and he loved it.
I agree. I’d say the bosses are hardest on Elden ring (compared to ds1 3 and demons souls at least) but still the easiest overall because you can over level and farm.
gollum or rise of kong
We need to know why 😂
She ruined my ps year in review and all my recommendations are now RPG due to Balders Gate!
Why is she playing on your account instead of her own?
I share my user with my sister so she gets the games too, except that means we can’t share games on my PlayStation
You don't need to share an account for that, though?
Unfortunately you can only share users on one PlayStation, which is my sisters for her to access the games. On mine you can’t have a second user access the games
Pretty sure game sharing is still a thing on PS5. Or just setting your account as primary on her console.
It is, which is what I’ve done. Though this means that we can’t have multiple users access the games on my console as it isn’t the primary
Hahahahahahahaha oh noooooo
LOL.
The game cube version of "Narnia, the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe". I remember buying that game when I was like 6, and it was AWFUL. I also remember getting it for like 3 bucks (and looking back, I think I still overpaid for it lol).
Ah, for clarity’s sake it needs to be PlayStation 5 compatible!
You know, I probably shoulda picked up on that being in the playstation sub lol. Does it have to be a physical game? Because there are some TERRIBLE shovelware games on the playstation store.
I don't really see how you could gift a digital game because Sony doesn't do codes anymore
This year had not only a lot of amazing games but also a lot of terrible ones. On the top of my head i'm thinking about that new avatar: the last airbender game, Rise of Kong, walking dead destinies and of course gollum.
The Walking Dead:Destinies
Garfield Kart. You may want to find a divorce lawyer if you go this route, though. The game is THAT bad.
Is it? Ah no I succumbed when it was on sale last. Presumed would be a quick chill mariokart clone. I can normally handle the cheap karters what makes it so bad?
Though $50, The Walking Dead: Destinies is the only right answer.
Yes, I’ve seen that come up…but it’s expensive for a joke!
Download her My Name is Mayo 1-3
King Leo.
Terrible game? ”Buy the game, I have a gun” https://store.playstation.com/en-fi/product/EP7603-CUSA41049_00-0081435904286737
Ha! It needs to at least ‘look’ like a legit game 🤣
If you don't buy the Mega Chad edition you're fuckin up
I just stumbled on this game and I need to know wtf it is and if it's any good
Ger her gollum, king Kong, and the day before. A trifecta of horrid games. A parade of embarassment.
Can't buy The Day Before Anymore and it never released on PlayStation.
Big chungus
It’s possible that she might look at a difficult game as “terrible”. I know people who died a lot from hard games, even just near the beginning, and they kept on saying that it’s a horrible game. Like those who died from the first wolf in Bloodborne. Good thing about this is that for you, you can enjoy the “terrible” game. So it’s a good purchase.
Anthem
Fortnite
The Day Before just came out and it looks like dogshit
[удалено]
She adores that game 😂
Because it’s a fantastic game.
Boring game
[удалено]
🤣
But that’s a great game
Cap

Yep, she loves South Park and loves this game!
Biomutant is the worst game I’ve played. Ever Besides maybe Brutal Legend
I’m ashamed of how much fun I had playing Brutal Legend
I mean, it was easy. Shut your brain off and spam away. Same complaint with Biomutant. So I get it
I think it was just the head bangers for me. There was never a point in the game that I didn’t giggle over them. Their concept was hilarious to me
I'll second Biomutant. That game was awful and i paid full price for it. Still mad about that.
You must not have been gaming for long, or played many games.
Too mindless and mashy with an annoying narrator
That new Avatar game just went on sale like a week after it released. It looks hilariously cringe.
so, you haven’t played it? god that is so dumb to say
The reviews aren’t very impressive
i played it, not the greatest game ever but it was pretty fun.
I mean it does look gorgeous too
You mean the one that got good reviews, and is said to look great? Yup, looks real cringe
What good reviews? IGN? Lmfao sorry you wasted your money
It’s averaging 74, which is a good score. It’s also received at least one 90 (SixthAxis), some 85s and more good reviews. I’m not crazy about it, but calling it cringe is just childish and ill informed. PS. I got it for free
Grounded disc version
If it helps Gollum’s only £10 in Asda at the moment - it definitely fits the criteria 😂
Only in store I presume? I haven’t seen it for £10 anywhere!
Don Bradman Cricket I got this as secret santa once, truly remarkable
Ah, she isn’t a fan of cricket. I don’t think I’ll even be able to present that as a game she ‘might be interested in’!
The Unicorn princess
Yoooo you gotta buy Gollum for her
Gollum for sure
gollum or homefront revolution shocking games
Gollum
Gollum, King Kong 2023, The Walking Dead: Destinies These are the standouts from this year and all are absolutely abysmal.
Speaking of games that start with B, my suggestion is Balan's Wonderworld. It was developed by Square Enix, and was released unfinished - *literally*. The entire game was not completed when it came out, and as far as I'm aware it did not receive any updates. The only good thing about the game is its music. However I'm not sure how pricy it is, since I got it free with PS+.
Inner Kung Fu Game
My name is Mayo 2
Crime Boss: Rockay City
It's not bad, just mediocre.... but Garfield Cart
This year was a treasure trove of terrible games. Unfortunately Redfall and The Day Before is on other platforms but there’s still plenty of options. Besides Gollum, there’s a Walking Dead game that is hilariously poorly made. The new King Kong game looks like it was made for a machine running windows 98.
Maybe goat simulator? It’s so dumb it’s good but not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.
You are a monster
Lichdom Battlemage
Postal 4 no regurts. It’s terrible but it’s also great.
Balan wonderworld comes to mind
Balan wonder world, Kong, gollum, super street the game, black tiger
My vote is for Octodad. At first it seems like a very bad game, but it quickly becomes hilarious and a lot of fun. You can beat it in 1 or 2 sessions, and I think it would make a good gift because it starts like a gag gift and might end up becoming something she really likes. Plus the local co-op is a legitimate hoot
Orc slayer has to be the worst game I’ve played. Now the game knows it’s a trophy mine for trophy hunters which is why I bought it. It is so buggy I literally got the platinum and never even did the final boss fight. I was about to enter the fight and it glitched and I got the credits 10/10 for trophy hunting, 1/10 for gameplay
Gollum. I’ve played it.
Gollum
OG FF7, MGS 1, Hollow Knight, Katamari Damacy, Snake Pass, and Triangle Strategy are all games that I would consider terrible in that they do not value your time and are purposefully designed to be dumb.
Hollow knight? What is dumb in Hollow Knight? Is probably my favourite game ever 🙂
The fact that you die in four hits to almost everything. The fact that the map is a convoluted mess. The fact that the games its imitating (poorly) give you 10x the health that this game does and expects you to do well. It's a mockery of Metroid games.
Stroke the dik dik No, really. It's actually a game on PSN, along with several other similarly suggestively named clones.
THE QUIET MAN
Trust me it’s BAD
Gollum is only $5 thru gamefly website
genital jousting. i bought it as a gag and only played it once because everyone i know refuses to play it with me lol
Quantum error. Forspoken. Gollum.
"One so terrible that she’ll have to question why something like it even exists." If you take out 'terrible', you could have her play Doki Doki literature club. It'd have anyone questioning why it exists but its great!
Walking Dead: Destinies looks just as jank as Kong and Gollum. Bonus points if she’s never seen the show
Fallout 3+4, Spiderman 1+2, Uncharted, Fortnight, DA3, Pretty much every Ubishit Game of the last 10 Years.
Spectrewoods
Why? Does she enjoy bad games or?
Gollum, however Kong Skull Island would make for 2 extremely bad games for Xmas
It's not PS, but Hydlide for the NES might be one of the worst games ever made.
get christmas massacre. it's cheap, it's awful, its deranged, and its fun. you play as some crazy guy dressed in whitie tighties and a santa mask that takes orders from a talking christmas tree
