We’re here to set the record straight on 20 games that critics hate in some capacity-be it a single, influential, clueless reviewer or an anomaly in consensus. ![]() Maybe it’s a case of hysteria surrounding the hype of a game’s release, a scandal broke out weeks before, or the game just happened to exist in the wrong genre at the wrong time, but it’s a reality that some games just get a bad rap. Good reviewers find a way to make this obvious, either by excelling at maintaining objectivity or by fully admitting their subjectivity, but in either case, there’s a good chance that critics sometimes just get things wrong.
