by Jason Dietz, Metacritic Features Editor – December 17, 2020

Above are the lowest-scoring games released for any platform between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Games are ranked by Metascore (as of December 15, 2020) prior to rounding, and any titles with fewer than 7 reviews from professional critics are excluded. If a single title would have landed on the list multiple times due to low scores on more than one platform, we only included the lowest-scoring version.

29 #1: Tiny Racer (Switch)

Metacritic's Official Worst Game of 2020.

Miniature cars race through kitchens and forests in IceTorch Interactive's $10 Switch racer. Critics were universally frustrated by the title's poor gameplay.

“Tiny Racer offers nothing that you haven’t seen before or does anything special that requires you to play it. It feels like a game that was created in about a week without any attention to details or a specific goal in mind aside from ‘let’s make the cars tiny’. Honestly, it even failed in that regard. It’s been said that Nintendo allows practically anything on the Switch eShop nowadays and Tiny Racer has strengthened that belief for me." —NintendoWorldReport
