<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/beat-cop/">Beat Cop</a></h2>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/11-bit-studios/">11bit Studios</a> already has quite the repertoire with titles like This War of Mine and the more recent Frostpunk. This new point and click adventure kind of follows the same formula. Beat Cop plays with equally difficult themes, revolving around the story of a disgraced cop on his way to redemption. </p>

<p>Play as Jack Kelly and experience his living hell as a suspected murderer with an annoying boss and a horrible domestic life. Despite the darkness of its themes, Beat Cop has a nice, living world to immerse in. Its environments seem meticulously detailed, from its clean HUD to the streets themselves, lined with moving cars and interesting passersby. </p>

<p>With all that, Beat Cop is still a free game and as such, it doesn't quite close in on the immersion because of its lack of voice acting. Still, it's Jack Kelly's life is a life worth seeing though, with a score of 8.14.</p>

<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/the-frostrune/">The Frostrune</a></h2>

<p>Grimnir Media's adventure takes us far away from the brutal reality of Beat Cop. Instead, we're taken to the mysterious world of Viking mythology. Shipwrecked and marooned into an unknown island, you find yourself in an abandoned settled with only ancient runes and burial mounds for the company. </p>

<p>Frostrune depicts its world in 2D illustrations that capture quiet isolation, and also the burgeoning of something intensely magical. As a point and click adventure, it's a bit slow on the uptake. It might be a little lacking for some, but worth the patient investment for others. </p>

<p>It's a unique adventure that shows off its ingenuity with its puzzles, and also its creativity with its Old Norse dialogue that takes us fully to their realized spirit world.  It has a playscore of 8.47.</p>

<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/old-school-runescape/">Old School RuneScape</a></h2>

<p>This might be the most different of all the games in this list, but it also happens to be one of the most well-known names in gaming. RuneScape is a hell of a lot different than it used to be, so developer Jagex provided fans with a much needed time capsule.</p> 

<p>Old School Runescape is exactly the old school MMORPG you once loved, and now you can bring it along with you wherever you go. Face the dragons, sail the seas, and take down the monsters once more.</p>

<p>It's a great way for old fans to reconnect with their old 2007 selves. But, also, a great entry point for anyone who just wants a fun and accessible RPG they can play with friends. Combining point and click gameplay with the MMO formula, it has a playscore of 8.52.</p>

<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/the-silent-age/">The Silent Age</a></h2>

<p>Your days as an ordinary janitor are up as you prepare for a different kind of cleanup in this mystery-filled point and click adventure. The Silent Age follows the more familiar formula for the genre. Take on the role of a janitor who finds a portal to the future and becomes the only hope for humanity's survival. </p>

<p>It's a sci-fi trope that's been made many times before but it homes in on the genre with an atmosphere built on stylistic visuals and eerie soundtracks. While that’s nice and good, what completes The Silent Age experience is still its engaging puzzles and compelling storyline. </p>

<p>The game has been out for a while, and there are two episodes for you to get lost in. With each one brimming with just the right amount of tension to make you want answers to the many questions it raises, it rightly deserves its playscore of 8.64.</p>

<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/beholder/">Beholder</a></h2>

<p>In our next game, virtue, not beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. Set within the confines of a totalitarian state, Beholder challenges you to toe the line between compassion and conformity. You own an apartment building and the State requires you to spy on your tenants. Bug their homes, search through their belongings and report any kind of suspicious activity to give violators their due punishment.</p>

<p>With such a dark setting, there's a lot of gray moral areas to balance out. Will you bow to the orders of government, blackmail your tenants in exchange for bailing them out, or becoming the light that the dark world needs. As a title that's heavy, dark, and depressing, it might not be everyone's cup of tea. With a playscore of 8.68, the choice is yours.</p>

<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/the-house-of-da-vinci/">The House of da Vinci</a></h2>

<p>Out of the darkness of the totalitarian state and into the light of the renaissance. In House of Da Vinci, it looks like the renowned renaissance man has disappeared and it's up to you find him. </p>

<p>What makes it all the more different from the last game is that it also sets you free from the restrictive 2D plane. You get to roam around 16th century Florence freely in the first-person perspective. Enter the house of your master, Da Vinci, and learn to think like him to solve all the mechanical puzzles that lie ahead of you. </p>

<p>Just like the period, it's also a journey of enlightenment, its scenes packed with riddles that feel unique and cleverly designed. While it might have some control quirks, it more than makes up for it, getting a score of 8.72.</p>

<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/five-nights-at-freddys-2/">Five Nights at Freddy's 2</a></h2>

<p>
Maybe they were right when they said Out of all the many Five Nights at Freddy's on the mobile, the second main installment has won over all the others by a tiny margin.</p>

<p>With this sequel, the old and dilapidated animatronics are out to haunt you once again. The series is built around players taking up the security guard duties and hopefully living to see the end of their shift. But this time, the Five Night stay has turned into 7.</p>

<p>Thankfully for horror fans everywhere, it doesn't always work out and you get to meet some of their beloved characters. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 successfully ramps up the tension. There are a lot more rooms to keep an eye on, and their infamous robot cast members have become a whole lot smarter.</p> 

<p>It's a successful sequel, but it's just one of the franchise's many great hits, winning over the rest with a playscore of 8.73.</p>


<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/botanicula/">Botanicula</a></h2>

<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/mario-and-sonic-at-the-olympic-games-tokyo-2020/" title="Mario and SOnic Olympic 2020">Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020</a></h2>

<p>After being absent from last year's Olympics, SEGA and Nintendo are back at it again with another installment of their iconic sports party game. And, it's high time too because the Olympics are handing them the homecourt advantage. Play around with Sonic, Mario and their respective circles as you show off your skills in more than twenty different events.</p>

<p>Aside from the usual bunch, this Tokyo 2020 edition will also feature four new events. Get a kick out of Karate, ride the waves in surfing, play it cool in skateboarding, and make it to the top in Sport Climbing. Packed with new and old ways to get the heart pumping, it's coming out exclusively on the Switch on Nov 5th.</p>

<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/death-stranding/" title="Death Stranding PlayStation 4">Death Stranding</a></h2>

<p>Yup. It's finally happening. A game that's being touted as Kojima's next big masterpiece is coming next month and hopefully, we'll get all the answers to all our burning questions. Or not.</p>

<p>From what we know so far, you'll get to play the role of Sam Porter Bridges as he fights against the breakdown of society caused by some mysterious force. Aside from being decidedly cloaked in mystery, Death Stranding is also populated by a cast of well-known personalities like Mads Mikkelson, Guillermo del Toro, Lea Seydoux, and Norman Reedus in center stage. </p>

<p>Prepare to be awed and maybe confused once it releases exclusively on the PlayStation this Nov 8th.</p>

<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/need-for-speed/" title="Need for Speed Heat on PC">Need for Speed Heat on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/need-for-speed/" title="Need for Speed Heat on PS4">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/need-for-speed/" title="Need for Speed Heat Xbox One">Xbox One</a></h2>

<p>The hitherto unnamed Need for Speed game gets its official title and that means it can officially become more heated. Heat is coming out in celebration of the franchise's 25th Anniversary so we can expect to have a lot more of their signature street racing.</p> 

<p>As a new title, Need for Speed Heat is also determined to be fresh. Welcome to Palm City, and get ready to outrun cops with a bunch of new customizations and compete in a set of all-new events. It's an open-world extravaganza in which you dilly dally by day and get to race seriously by night. There's reputations, heat levels, and so much more and it's coming out PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 8th.</p>

<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/new-super-luckys-tale/" title="New Super Luckys Tale Nintendo Switch">New Super Lucky's Tale</a></h2>

<p>Microsoft's Lucky fox is stepping out of his comfort zone. It was first released on the Oculus Rift and later on the Xbox One X, and next month on the Nintendo Switch. Reduced slightly by a dimension, NEW Super Lucky's tale will be a complete reimagining of the game in more ways than one. Not only do you get to play it differently, but you also get to experience it anew thanks to an array of new cutscenes to watch. </p>

<p>It wasn't exactly well-received in the Microsoft consoles, so this jump to the Switch will hopefully earn them more hearts by way of their new controller-friendly format. It's coming out on Nov 8th, 2019.</p>

<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/rune/" title="">Rune II</a></h2>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/human-head-studios/">Human Head Studios</a>' RPG went through a few name iterations until they finally settled with the simple straightforward Rune II. One thing's for sure though, a new title is finally coming out. And, yes, it's an Epic Games Store exclusive.</p> 

<p>If that's annoying to some, their co-founder Chris Rhinehart has been quick on providing updates to soothe the fanbase. Their pre-alpha footage may have been a little underwhelming, their new trailers have been looking better. We're assuming with more time in the oven, it'll be up and ready to serve a dose of Ragnarok when it comes out on the PCs this November 12th.</p>
 
<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/tokyo-ghoul-re-call-to-exist/" title="Tokyo Ghoul on PC">Tokyo Ghoul:re Call to Exist on PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/tokyo-ghoul-re-call-to-exist/" title="Tokyo Ghoul on PS4">PlayStation 4</a></h2>

<p>Bandai Namco is rolling out hit after hit these days and hopefully this will be the next. In Re Call To Exist, the streets of Tokyo are on the verge of collapse as the war rages on between the ghouls and Investigators.</p>

<p>It's a survival action game you scour the streets of Tokyo for answers and put an end to the war. This installment will present new Ghouls, as well as an array of new battle mechanics. It’s gonna be the first Tokyo Ghoul to come out to the West and it marks the coming together of the iconic characters from the original game. It's set to release Nov 14th, 2019.</p>

<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/pokemon-sword/" title="Pokemon Sword">Pokémon Sword</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/pokemon-shield/" title="Pokemon Shield">Shield</a></h2>
<p>This next Pokemon game feels like it started on the wrong foot with the fanbase. First, there was the news about not getting to complete the Pokedex and there were criticisms against their previews' less than impressive graphics. But, the developers of Sword and Shield have slowly won us over bit by bit through the months. The good news are abounding. </p>

<p>Not only does it seem that the cut Pokemon are set to return eventually, but there's also the Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics that level up battles. And with the cute faces of the starters lineup --and Farfetch’s hot new evolution, SirFetch’d--we are powerless to resist. It comes out exclusively on the Switch on November 15th.</p>

<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order/" title="Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order on PC">Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order/" title="Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order PS4">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order/" title="Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Xbox One">Xbox One</a></h2>

<p>Coming after a series of multiplayer duds, The Fallen Order returns Star Wars to the singleplayer format. In it, we'll see a Jedi entry that introduces a new character, Cal Kestis, who finds himself on the run from the Galactic Empire. Fallen Order is set shortly after the events of Revenge of the Sith, which means we'll a lot of the same, familiar universe we loved. </p>

<p>Their latest trailer doesn't just give us a closer look into Cal's mission, it also shows off all the cool lightsaber fights we'll get to experience. Sure, EA hasn't exactly had the best reputation and maybe Fallen Order can be their saving grace. It's coming out Nov 15th on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.</p>

<h2>11. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/deemo-reborn/">Deemo Reborn</a></h2>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/rayark-inc/">Rayark</a>'s popular rhythm game is taking on a new form. Following the critical success of their first title, Deemo, their mysterious eponymous character is reborn in virtual reality. With this kind of change, Deemo Reborn shapes up to be a complete overhaul of the title. It's not just tapping mechanics and 2D cutscenes anymore. </p>

<p>With the move to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/psvr/">PSVR</a> comes a lush new world. Not only does it have new gameplay elements, the immersion is also leveled with the added voice acting in their cutscenes. It's gonna be a whole new way of experiencing Rayark's compelling first title, and it's coming out on the PlayStation this November 21st.</p>

<h2>12. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/doom-eternal/" title="Doom Eternal on PC">Doom Eternal on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/doom-eternal/" title="Doom Eternal on PS4">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/doom-eternal/" title="Doom Eternal on Xbox One">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/doom-eternal/" title="Doom Eternal on Nintendo Switch">Switch</a></h2>

<p>A new kind of chaos is coming, it's coming to rain down on and heaven and hell. It all feels like we're at the renaissance of classic shooters, but if there's one title we're glad to see, it's this.</p>

<p>Doom has always been a franchise built around splitting open demonic heads. Doom Eternal is set to upgrade the formula by adding to their multitude of monster varieties with heaven's hordes. Luckily for us, they're just as ugly. Other than the story, there's also much in store for us in gameplay with the focus on mobility, and the multiplayer invasions mode where other players get to play the demons themselves. PC and console owners, even those on the Switch, better watch out on November 22nd.</p>

<h2>13. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/sniper-ghost-warrior-contracts/" title="Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts on PC">Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/sniper-ghost-warrior-contracts/" title="Ghost Warrior Contracts on PS4">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/sniper-ghost-warrior-contracts/" title="Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts on Xbox One">Xbox One</a></h2>

<p>We're still in <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/first-person-shooter/">FPS</a> territory. This time, we look into the crosshairs of Sniper's latest entry. Set in modern-day Siberia, expect to witness a sea of white and prep for the long haul in waiting for that perfect kill opportunity. </p>

<p>Its latest trailer is tinged with what we hope is irony as it shows the violent killing side by side with verses from the Hebrew bible. Odd trailer aside, Ghost Warriors Contracts hopes to amp up the sniping experience with more realism in their sniping, stealth, and tactics. Given the franchise's history though, let's just say the expectations aren't high. Either way, it's coming the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 22nd.</p>

<h2>14. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/doom-64/" title="Doom 64 on Switch">Doom 64</a></h2>

<p>Just as we're talking about Doom's long history. Well, that history is arriving on the Switch. Announced by Pete Hines from Bethesda Softworks, Doom 64 is all about bringing one classic Nintendo title to the new generation. And, it comes in time to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary. </p>

<p>It's not exactly packed with the usual bells and whistles. It's a vanilla version of their 30 action-packed levels, which veterans will be happy to relive. That, plus the privilege of being able to bring the iconic misadventures in hell wherever you go. It's set to release this Nov 22nd.</p>

<h2>15. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/sid-meiers-civilization-vi/" title="Sid Meiers Civilization VI on PlayStation 4">Sid Meier's Civilization VI on PS4</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/sid-meiers-civilization-vi/" title="Sid Meier's Civilization VI on Xbox One">Xbox One</a></h2>

<p>Already out on the PC and the Switch, the 6th installment of the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/sid-meiers-civilization-vi/">Sid Meier's legendary strategy series</a> is coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One too. It's just gonna be a port of the original title, but it also comes equipped with all the latest updates and refinements. </p>

<p>When it comes out next month, it's gonna be one of the first Civilization titles on the two consoles since 2008's Civilization Revolution for the PS4 and Xbox One. So, when it comes this November 22nd, it's gonna be a party for the would-be strategists on the platforms.</p>

15 Upcoming Games of November 2019 on PC, PS4, Xbox  One, and Switch

<p>We've all seen the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/best/">best PS4 games</a>. Here's the list of releases that didn't live up to their expections, the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/worst/">worst games on the PlayStation 4</a> according to both critics and gamers.</p>


<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ark-park/">ARK Park</a></h2>

<p>Sure, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ark-survival-evolved/">ARK: Survival Evolved</a> is a great <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/mmo/">MMO</a> game, but this VR take on the Jurassic Park-like experience isn’t as grand as everyone thought it would. </p>

<p>ARK Park has glaring issues. First, it’s obvious development was rushed. Resulting in an unfinished mess. Second, it’s expensive for a glorified tech demo. Intended as a groundbreaking VR title, it disappointed most of the ARK player base with Chinese developer <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/snail-games-usa/">Snail Games</a>’ shady cash-grabbing practices. </p>

<p>Graphics-wise, the game is impressive. Every detail feels like you’re part of a Jurassic Park movie. However, the rest is clunky, controls are wonky and movement is a vertigo-inducing trip. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/cubed3/">Cubed3</a>’s Drew Hurley criticized the gameplay loop, saying that, “The gathering is grindy, the crafting unrewarding, and the combat boring and repetitive.“ He gave it a 3 out of 10.</p>

<p>It’s devoid of all the great things that made Survival Evolved fun to play at. Performance-wise, compared to the abysmal <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/ark-park/">PC version</a>, this PS4 port is a smoother experience… but that doesn’t mean it’s still good. It receives a playscore of a 5.33.</p>

<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/afro-samurai-2-revenge-of-kuma-volume-1/">Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma - Volume One</a></h2>
 
<p>Rare is a game SO BAD the developers decided to cancel every future plan of the project and remove it from the face of the Earth, they even had to issue refunds to those who buy it. It was so terrible they no longer want to complete the next two volumes. It’s based on a very popular manga about afro samurais and hip-hop. It’s a huge downgrade from the first Afro Samurai game from 2009, which received favorable reviews. </p>

<p>Calling this game “bad” is an understatement. To start off, it has no direction. The entire pilgrimage of the hero is never realized. Every time it comes close to major story development, the game completely forgets about it. The blatant sexism, the terrible gameplay and a bit of bug in between, it is an obvious flop. Of all the reviewers, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/destructoid/">Destructoid</a> hated the game so much they gave it a 1. Reducing its review to two words: ‘Digital Seppuku’ I mean, come on. There’s no reason to seriously consider buying this game, even the devs are removing it from most major video game stores. </p>

<p>At least the soundtrack is a banger. It has a playscore of 5.16.</p>


<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/left-alive/">Left Alive</a></h2>

<p>Considered as a spin-off for Front Mission, Square’s brand-new action-survival game feels like a hot topic version of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/">Metal Gear</a>.</p>

<p>The game takes you to the dark and gritty future where technology is rampant and mechs are a thing. You take control of three protagonists with different perspectives, sounds cool, right? But no. According to most players, the game is ‘complete garbage’. The game’s lackluster content makes you feel that the devs knew what they were doing when they named it Left Alive. </p>

<p>Most of the game’s issues come from its performance issues that come alongside a triple-A price tag. There’s no good reason to purchase this title in its current state, or maybe forever. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/push-square/">Push Square</a> gave it a 2 out of 10. Disappointed by everything the game delivered. Saying that, “Left Alive categorically fails at everything it sets out to accomplish”. It’s a shame since a lot of talented people from popular video game franchises extended their help only to produce this… abomination.</p> 

<p>It’s better off dead, really. It receives a playscore of 5.13.</p>


<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/tennis-world-tour/">Tennis World Tour</a></h2>

<p>Sports games can be bad too, especially when the developers don’t bother trying. Tennis World Tour was supposed to be the new standard for Tennis. You could choose from a wide variety of iconic professional players and even experience a career mode.</p> 

<p>You might be asking, “How is it bad when it follows the same formula as other sports titles?!” The answer is, like most games on this list, it is an incomplete mess. Even after a year since its release, no major improvements were made to the game regarding its slow movement and game-breaking bugs. Not to mention the shady practice from the developers. </p>


<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/dualshockers/">Dual Shockers</a> gave it a 3 out of 10. Attacking the game’s terrible marketing and presentation. They said, “It’s one thing to not have key features at launch, but the absence of solid gameplay puts the final nail in the coffin.”. The game might appease some casual players, but those who spend the full price would think it to be a waste of their money and their time. Other Foreign reviewers, such as <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/multiplayer/">Multiplayer</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/ign/">IGN Italy</a> both gave it a 5 out of 10. At least they’re a bit forgiving, but still share the same concerns from most people. It has a playscore of a 5.04.</p>


<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/bravo-team/">Bravo Team</a></h2>

<p>This is an unexpected disappointment from the company that gave us the horrifying Until Dawn and even The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan. Bravo Team is a VR shooter and another victim of rushed development. Only created within 13 months, it gave a bad rep for Supermassive Games considering that they should know better. </p>

<p>It was intended to be this groundbreaking VR shooter but unfortunately, it was far from that. Its cover-shooter elements are broken and it doesn’t feel like it’s a 2018 game. Aside from that, the enemies are bullet sponges that make no sense. Their AI is so bad it feels like they wanted to die with the game too.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/techraptor/">TechRaptor</a> was furious and confused by the game’s design. Giving it a 2 out of 10. Saying that “It is absolutely baffling how truly bad Bravo Team really is. Nothing about this game screams “this is a final product ready for release”.” It is marred by numerous bugs and various performance issues resulting from the rushed development. It is as expected.</p>

<p>Bravo Team is FUBAR and it has a playscore of a 5.04.</p>


<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-quiet-man/">THE QUIET MAN</a></h2>

<p>Another example of ambitious titles that failed to thrive. The Quiet Man is Square Enix’s immersive narrative-driven story accompanied by an energetic combat and live-action sequences. They even had the gall to hire actors for this one but to be fair, they’re kinda good, the game is just bad. It has a really interesting concept, but horrible execution. The entire game is set within ‘one night’ and it showcases Square’s seamless mix of Live-Action elements and CGI… but it all boils down to one thing: IT’S BORING.</p> 

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/cultured-vultures/">Cultured Vulture</a>’s Ashley Bates gave it a 2 out of 10, saying that, “...consider it a fairly cheap palette cleanser that’ll make you appreciate the much better games on the market.” Most of the major concerns come from its ‘silent world’ since you take control of a deaf protagonist. You literally can’t hear anything at all. There are no subtitles even when other people are talking. </p>

<p>It’s a conceptual catastrophe that failed to capture the real intention of the creators for the players. Even <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/gamespot/">GameSpot</a> gave it a 2 out of 10. Criticizing the boring combat. Saying that the“Simplistic, ungainly combat is all the more surprising given that it is The Quiet Man's only gameplay mechanic.”</p>

<p>It receives a playscore of a 5.02 </p>


<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/tony-hawks-pro-skater-5/">Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5</a></h2>

<p>It’s heartbreaking to see one of our favorite childhood games get sequels that don’t even compare to the original. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 is a sad and disappointing follow-up to a legendary series. To make the long story short, it’s a technical mess. Most of the controls don’t even work as intended and the classic attitude that made Pro Skater great was gone. </p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/jimquisition/">Jimquisition</a>’s Jim Sterling gave it a 2 out of 10. Saying that, “Tony Hawk 5 looks like the burned corpse of a three-legged sheep and plays like the results of teaching a chimpanzee how to code.” Even with an online mode, it’s better you’re doing it offline on your own as it adds no variety to the gameplay. The lack of social features make multiplayer tedious, jarring and could cause some performance drops to your gameplay. GamesRadar gave it a 1.5 out of 5, citing that “..it's a constant reminder of how much greater the originals were, and how much you'd rather be playing them instead.”</p>

<p>Purchasing this game at its full retail price is a terrible idea. Just like most of the criticisms from this game, you’re better off playing the classics instead. It has a playscore of a 4.90</p>


<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/weeping-doll/">Weeping Doll</a></h2>

<p>Horror games are a unique bunch. As long as they scare the crap out of us, they have the pass to be ‘okay’ and we’d recommend it to our friends. Weeping Doll is unlike any other horror game. It’s a cheap pandering for the fans of the genre with its uninspired and generic designs. </p>

<p>It’s a VR title that tries to accomplish something great with its haunting atmosphere, but fails to retain its consistency in its short game time. ZTGD gave it a 3, citing that, “...it’s not even terrifying; the only thing scary is how disappointingly mediocre this experience is.”</p>

<p>There’s a lot of horror games on the market and Weeping Doll shares no distinctiveness to the other great titles. It’s a shame, considering the visuals are really top-notch. GameSpew disliked the game’s presentation, giving it a 4 out of 10. Saying that “The confusing set pieces, empty story, and rough dialogue will distract you from enjoying the experience.”</p>

<p>It sets a lesson that horror games don’t always have to be played in Virtual Reality. It has a playscore of a 4.78.</p>



<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/road-rage/">Road Rage</a></h2>

<p>Also another example of a game that you’re better off playing with its original version. Road Rage is a shoddy racing game with open-world elements. As a rider, it is your job to own the streets and smack those who stand in your way. But underneath it… testosterone-fueled presentation, it’s an underwhelming game with no reason to play. Everything is monotonous and it gets pretty repetitive doing the same missions again and again. </p>


<p>TSA was so annoyed at its gameplay loop, especially the unfulfilling combat and ‘road raging’. They gave it a 2 out of 10. Saying that the game has “...become harder to tolerate knowing just how deeply unfulfilling the core gameplay is, even when you factor in the budget price tag.”</p>

<p>It is a terrible title that leaves no satisfaction at the end of the road. It’s a shame since the PS1 classic was so well-received. It has a playscore of a 4.56.</p>

<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/basement-crawl/">Basement Crawl</a></h2>

<p>This pathetic excuse of a Bomberman inspired game is still the reigning champion of Whatoplay’s worst PlayStation 4 games. It is so terrible the devs decided to remake the game from the ground up, giving it free for the poor players who purchased it. Just like Bomberman, you blow up your enemies to smithereens. But Basement Crawl isn’t just that… it also has major horror elements and it’s sad nobody gets to feel its bone-chilling atmosphere due to its… abysmal performance issues.</p> 

<p>In addition to that, the game’s other major concern comes from its easily exploitable online mode. Hacks and game-breaking bugs plague its servers, ruining the entire experience. There is no sense going back to this already broken title so it’s best we leave it in the basement. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/psuniverse/">PS Universe</a> gave it a 4 out of 10, saying that, the game “...tries hard to recapture the magic of Bomberman but has a hard time with its horror theme, lack of a real tutorial, and online connectivity issues.“</p>

<p>There’s no saving this one and it sets another lesson to the developers that games should be polished before its release. There’s no point releasing unfinished products only to issue refunds. The rest of the reviewers, including IGN, GameSpot, GamesRadar, Polygon and Destructoid all had one thing in common to say about this trainwreck: It’s best we play the original Bomberman instead. </p>

<p>It has a playscore of a 4.26</p>

10 Worst PlayStation 4 Games of All Time

<p>The Beat 'Em Ups are invading the new platforms and Taito is making their own entrance with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-ninja-saviors-return-of-the-warriors/">The Ninja Saviors - Return of the Warriors</a>. Already released on European platforms, The Ninja Saviors has just recently received its North and South American release date of October 15th for the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-ninja-saviors-return-of-the-warriors/" title="The Ninja Saviors for Switch">Nintendo Switch</a> as well as the PlayStation 4.</p> 

<p>Day 1 Physical Edition buyers will be getting a printed manual, stickers, as well as a poster along with their copy. As a special compensation for the delayed launch, Taito is even putting in two character cards of Raiden and Yaksha, both of which will be exclusive to North America.</p> 

<p>Here's a summary of the game:</p>
<div class="direct-quote">In THE NINJA SAVIORS – Return of the Warriors, players assume the role of one of five android ninjas to take on the tyrant Banglar, and his henchmen, with a variety of individual moves in a dystopian future. Along with two completely new characters, the fully revised side-scrolling arcade brawler also finally offers fans the eagerly awaited two-player co-op mode and an online ranking system so that you can measure yourself against fighters from all over the world. In a total of eight levels, players will brawl their way through waves of enemy hordes, either alone or in pairs.</div>

<p>The reception from critics so far hasn't been the best. On the PlayStation 4, it currently has a Provisional PlayScore of 7.50. Meanwhile, on the Switch, it received a slightly higher Provisional PlayScore of 7.83. It's not quite <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/best/" title="Best PlayStation 4 games">Best PS4</a> or <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/" title="Best Nintendo Switch games">Best Switch</a> material, but seeing as its just a classic rereleased into newer consoles, it's a little expected.</p>

<h2>15. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/granny-chapter-two/" title="">Granny: Chapter Two</a></h2>

<p>Watch out, Granny's got her ears on you...and this time she's got company. This title comes after the first Granny game, and it marks the introduction of a hard of hearing but hard-hitting Grampa. </p>

<p>The object of the game remains the same: you have five days to escape the house, and each day is rife with danger. Hide in wardrobes, or under the beds, but your safety is never certain until you get out.</p>

<p>Popcorn Burst, like many mobile games, is pretty straightforward. It's a casual game where the only goal is to pop as much popcorn into a shape to fill it up to the given line. But, you can't just pop it willy nilly. You'll have to finesse it well enough to get to the goal without wasting a single kernel. </p>

<p>It's a very simple game, sure. However, Popcorn Burst manages to sell the formula well enough thanks to its pleasing cartoon aesthetics and charming animations.

<p>It has provisional playscores of 8.8 on the iOS and 8.2 on the Android.</p>

<p>In it, you're faced with a rotating fruit and your job is to peel it and peel it well. Come face to face with a variety fruits--or not fruits--and just have a go at taking as much its outer layer as possible. If you're an achiever, the longest peel stat will probably keep you going through each level. Plus, there's the added treat seeing some fruit trivia at the end.</p>

<p>If you're into fruits and don’t mind looking at a few ads for them, you could check this game out on the iOS with a playscore of 8.8.</p>
