As the year 2025 came to an end, the media review platform Metacitic announced a comprehensive ranking for 2025, which, in addition to high scores, simultaneously allowed players to look at low scores of tragic works, and the outsiders picked the critical game out of the list: the top ten in 2025.
Since its creation in 1999, Metacric has only included the comments of “the most trusted media in the world” and has organized them in a weighted manner into Metascore. Even though many of the comments have traditionally been overly subjective, their comprehensiveness is worth the attention of players and industry, so that when the game is rated the worst in the year, it also means that they are really miserable in the media’s eyes.
According to Metacric, the science-fiction action game MindsEye (MindsEye) created by the former GTA developer, Build a Rocket Boy, became the lowest score in 2025, a figure that is even lower than most of the works launched in the last five years.
The Eye of the Heart has been criticized for a lot of bugs, problems of effectiveness, crashing mistakes since it was launched in May this year, to the detriment of PlayStation’s initiative to open up the player’s refunds, the last time that this happened was when Cyberpunk 2077 started.
VGC even rated Eye as one of the worst games in the 2020s, and many media outlets exposed the confusion of the development process, with employees claiming that they were “smoked” when they asked questions, and that the development culture was in dispute, leading to a total loss of quality.
“Welcome! In the second place in the 43rd lowest ranking, media commentary generally points out that the content of the game is extremely repetitive, is so weak that it has little depth, and that the sense of humor is not funny at all. The editor of The Gamer also said, “I played two hours before I found out that the whole game began.”
Other top-tenth lows cover the Big Pussy Cat Series, the Ambulance Simulator, and the hunter ‘ s HUNTER x HUNTER adaptations, almost all of which go to the entire platform of PC, home game hosts, etc.
But one of them is NintendoSwitch 2’s exclusive interactive tutorial “NintendoSwitch 2 Secret Fair” with 54 points into the 9th of the penultimate year.
The biggest controversy is that this game, which is similar to the function of a book of illustration, should have been used by random hosts (in-house) to demonstrate new functions, sold independently by Nintendo and sold for up to US$ 10 (Taiwan’s sale price of US$ 329).
