I'd hoped that, apart from spurring some interesting discussion, there might be interest in starting a sort of collaborative "bad game" giveaways. I was also optimistic that 2013's most critically panned, and cited by some as the worst game of 2014 as well, Ride to Hell: Retribution might be available, yet it appears that it's been removed from Steam. Consequently, I'm providing Day One: Garry's Incident.

Infamous for censoring the reviews of both gamers and critics alike, including a WTF is... by YouTuber TotalBiscuit, citing copyright claims on fair use materials, sponsoring false Metacritic posts and allegedly contributing large sums to their own Kickstarter campaign in order to generate interest, Day One was released in a crash-prone, bug-ridden state that prevented those brave enough to try it from playing more than an hour or two.

Whether you'd like to contribute a giveaway of your own or not, what do you believe is the worst game on Steam?

i would never do a giveaway with a really bad game as i don't like the idea of paying for it and thus supporting the devs (i also wouldn't like anyone to play such games, not even my enemies).

personal crap-list, all disappointments when i checked gameplay vids before buying: sacred 3, flatout 3, command and conquer 4, raven's cry
and deus ex: the fall is already in my library, i trusted the franchise and it failed me :(

Of those, I only played Deus Ex: The Fall. Even wrote a review for it with my opinions on the title.

A fair and justified review, which I applaud as a fan of the series, although personally I'd have taken a harsher stance on the inventory adjustments (particularly the modified microtransaction system that allowed players to acquire weapons at whim).

I honestly never used it for that because I was non lethal stealth runs the whole time, leaving weapon purchasing unneeded until I wanted achievements. :P

As someone who is willing to play so called terrible games, I didn't think Ride to Hell: Retribution was utter crap levels of bad. Mediocre, sure, and even at its best it could never be called anything better than poor, but while cutscenes might be laughable and the gameplay uninspired, the game worked. Never had random crashes, constant glitching or anything that would prevent me from playing the game.

Revelations 2012 was supposed to be rather poor, and while I own it, I've yet to make a start on it.

I actually wanted to try Ride to Hell. It seemed the ideal kind of bad: functional but poorly made on every level. It tends to get lumped together with games that are simply broken, though, which these days would include more new releases that include online play.

Bad Rats is fucking heinous.

It's a game whose badness will last throughout the ages.

WGOTY 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015....

When the planet is burnt to a crisp, and discovered by a band of roaming aliens, they will nuke us all over again once they discover Bad Rats...

I like the fact that a sequel is in the works because so many people bought the first game as a joke.

Never heard of this one, the concept of which actually intrigued me, at least as a fan of werewolves. Had to look up a few videos to appreciate the extent of its flaws.

Did you try to jump to get out? The stairs behind the kitchen are broken and you have to jump to get up. The game is a broken mess, but it's like a trash movie: It's so bad it is entertaining again ;) I'm trying to reach the end just to see how bad the story really is.

This.
The only thing good about Uriel's Chasm was that it was free and has cards. Just read the reviews. I don't think that a single person gave it a thumbs up unless they also included a comment about it being free, having cards, and uninstalls easily.

a quick search sorted by reviews shoes the worst game on steam to be Airport Simulator 2014 with 87% negative reviews. Uriel's chasm came in close second with 86% negative reviews.

It was the worst hack'n'slash game I've ever played. Tideous, boring, bleak, with horrible dialogues, tons of boring and ugly cut-scenes, stupid plot, horrendous ending and tons of bugs. I had to replay one level around 30 times (I'm not kidding) because my partner would get stuck and I couldn't trigger cut-scene leading to the next scene. I can honestly say it's one of the worst games I've ever played.

If you watch Jim Sterling, you know just how bad some games on Steam can be. Some examples of terrible games nobody seems to know about are Accidental Runner, Zen Fish Simulator (removed), The Interview, EARTH: YEAR 2066 (removed).

I'm not being very original by mentioning Air Control, but then I created a fresh new cathegory, called "Fucking Piece of Garbage" only for that game. I was looking for a laugh, and all I found was depressed rage.

well i have a place in my library where i put the worst games i played... there are those

1.-Call of the Cthulu: Wasteland (so fuking bad port to pc)
2.- Legends of Persia: Wow this game... fails in all... bad graphics, horrendous gameplay...
3.- Iesabel: As a diablo 2 clone i expected a lot more from this game....not really garbage but a bad game for sure
4.- Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny: I love rpg games but this... combats are really really bad... the game too... i will never play those games again in my life...

5.- Cold Contract; get it in a bundle, love turn based games, but this... crashes so often make him unplayable and a bit bad too

Day One is definitely bad. I managed to get into an infinite loop, cause I got killed right after the auto save.
But the worst thing is that the scripts sometimes won't work if you load the game, so you need to load another save file, hoping for the best.

Guise of the Wolf... bad, but not the worst. I actually made it to the end, that's something you most likely can't do in Day One.
