Games that you might want to avoid putting under the tree
First of all, it should be remembered that this ranking offered by Metacritic should not be taken very seriously. If only because it is Metacritic, but also because the method used here is questionable, given that the site allows itself to be based on games with very few tests. It simply requires four tests for a title to be eligible or not in this ranking, which means that we are sometimes far from a consensus. This list also takes into account the platform on which the worst score was recorded.
But it is true that in this list, we find very poorly received games, notably the one at the top of the list. No need to prolong the suspense any longer, here is the ranking of the lowest rated games on Metacritic in 2025 :
We can’t help but note that it is rare to find a license made in Nintendo here. Released on mobile, Fire Emblem Shadows is very far from having convinced the Fire Emblem community, with a game that is far from the quality of a Fire Emblem Heroesalso available on mobile. The result is therefore clear, in the same way as for MindsEyewhose presence here should surprise no one.
