We gave you the best, now have the worst So you’ve heard aboutthe best games of 2020. What about the worst? Metacritic has you covered, with some scientific data. The aggregate site gathered up the top 10 worst-reviewed games of the year, which has a few obscure titles and several major releases on it. The winner of the “last-minute addition” award easily goes toXIII Remake, which kind of came out of nowhere with a bizarre art style; whicheven garnered an official apology from the studio that made it....

Like Tamagotchi, but an annoying cutie-pie Idea Factory International has some fun news forHyperdimension Neptuniafans.

The dance-off begins January 24 on Steam Early Access Crypt of the NecroDanceris such a neat game. It’s a fusion of rhythm (you need to time your movement to the beat of the music as best you’re able to) and roguelike dungeon-crawling (you need foresight and strategy to hit enemies but not be hit back), and it ishard. But it’s super good! Hearing that more content is on the way with a prequel expansion,Amplified, is decidedly pleasing....
Asmy exploration of Frame Generation explains, I’m quite skeevy of Nvidia’s all-in approach to AI-based performance modifiers. Baseline DLSS is solid, especiallynow that DLSS4 is here, but the rest I’m iffy on. What about features such as Nvidia Reflex, then, where the boons are even harder to spot? Nvidia Reflex has felt oblique to me from day one. Whereas the actualsuper-samplingpart of DLSS has always been rather easy to identify through the use of one’s eyes, this has never been the case with Reflex....
Such PS4 classics as Rocksmith 2014 Edition Until January 19, a bunch of things areon sale in the PlayStation Store, from PS4 games (most of which you can probably ignore) to PS1 classics. The latter account for much of the PlayStation Vita section (plus PSP games–Tactics Ogre!), because the Vita has no games, but who cares–MediEvilis just $2.40! Actually, some of the Vita’s best are present:Tearaway($14.40),Persona 4 Golden($12),Lumines Electronic Symphony($10.80). I assumeGravity Rushis absent because it’s still free for PlayStation Plus members....
Mr. Crecente’s Neighborhoodhas word that the latest iteration in Atlus’Shin Megami Tenseiseries,Persona 3, has been delayed only a day before it was scheduled to ship. The delay has been pinned on an error in the manufacturing of the art book that was scheduled to ship with the title and Atlus has yet to reveal a new ship date. This wouldn’t pain me so much if I didn’t havea little birdwhispering to me every ten minutes about how awesome the game is....
Good thing PS3 games aren’t region locked…oh wait You can addPersona 4 Arenato the long list of titles that have snubbed European game enthusiasts over the years. The title’s European distributor, Zen United,announced via Facebooktoday that the game won’t be making the jump across the Atlantic this calendar year. Apparently the European build of the fighter is still in development, causing it to miss its original August 31 launch target. Unfortunately, if you’re desperate to play the game, importing the game isn’t really an option as the PlayStation 3 version includes an unprecedentedregion lock....

Did we…want this anyway? The PS4 is all set to host the exclusiveThe Order: 1886, and it’s actually sounding pretty cool so far, despite the fact that we don’t have any major info on it. Slowly but surely it’s starting to creep out though, and now we knowby way of Behind the Gamesthat there is no multiplayer component. When asked about a potential PS3 version down the line, Ready at Dawn boss Ru Weerasuriya stated, “We currently [are] work[ing] exclusively on the PS4 version....
