Sometimes, you have to take the bad with the good, the really bad with really good, and dare I say it, the worst with the best. 2025 had more than a few stinkers. Deciding which ones deserved a spot underneath the barrel wasn't easy. It took several minutes of careful analysis. Reopening all of the old wounds they left behind also stung like hell. Now, just so ya'll know. If the game I hated the most is one of your favorites, then I'm sorry, but also, too bad. Let's hurry and get this over with.
I killed 2500 demons with a katana and almost died of boredom. What an absolute waste of time this turned out to be.
Rolan is in trouble! I guess it can't be that serious if the hero can sleepwalk for the entirety of this snoozefest of an adventure. Skip straight to the sequel.
8. The Adventures of Batman & Robin (Game Gear)
This cold mess would've been further down the list if it required effort to finish. Hilariously unpleasant. Batshit inane. I don't want to think of anything else to say.
7. Xak: The Art of Visual Stage
"Worse than Lagoon." is literally all I'm going to say about this filth.
Between the ridiculous level-design and consistently frustrating difficulty, I feel like the target of some practical joke. Ugh on a stick.
Yuko Asou deserved better than to be the main character in one of the worst Sega Genesis games ever made. She deserved better in general, honestly. Two years of constant fighting only to be remembered in some trashy platformer with inexcusable controls? My heart breaks just thinking about it.
4. Batman: Revenge of the Joker
Giving the already terribly uneven Return of the Joker a port that does nothing to address its many faults is bad enough. Creating new problems while breaking one of the few features that made the original tolerable is just hateful.
The pixel art in this game is actually pretty nice. Sadly, there are no other positives. Also, can I declare that I am fucking done with superhero games forever? Because all they've done is sap my life away like some obscure status effect from an RPG nobody remembers.
Now I can't rightfully say that Rise of Sin Tzu is so bad that it caused my carpal tunnel to flare up, but I won't rule the possibility out. This is just one of those disgustingly repetitive games that refuses to end, despite the fact that it exhausted all of its ideas in the first 15 minutes. Also, If I'm going to destroy my wrist doing something, then it has to be rescuing a bus full of orphans and kittens.
It's the worst shmup to ever appear on a 16-bit console. I'd say that counts for a lot. Not even Curse or XDR on the Mega Drive are as bad, which is almost hilarious to think about. Nintendoes what Segain't... or something. Gosh, I hate trying to be clever.
