While we\u2019ve had some great games already this year, 2013 has had its fair share of shameful entries into the gaming market.<\/p>\n

The following are the 5 lowest rated games on Metacritic for 2013 (so far).<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy: All the Bravest (Metascore: 25)<\/h3>\n

Final Fantasy made its jump to the iOS platform earlier this year, and it didn\u2019t exactly pay off how it was planned.<\/p>\n

The game was described as a full and simple action-RPG, which, despite having a good look, was clunky and unimaginative.<\/p>\n

\"Final<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct\u00a0(Metascore: 33)<\/h3>\n

Despite the hope, the Walking Dead FPS disappointed fans of the show and general zombie fans all around.<\/p>\n

Reviewers panned the game for being very short, buggy and delivering repetitive mechanics throughout the experience.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The Croods\u00a0(Metascore: 38)<\/h3>\n

The Croods, the video game adaptation of DreamWorks\u2019 latest big-screen animation, ended up being a lot less polished than its silver-screen counterpart.<\/p>\n

The game was built by Rovio, who should\u2019ve created something greater after building Angry Birds, but the game ended up with a Metascore of 38 on iOS and was criticised for barely using the license and offering nothing more than a brainless touching mechanic.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Primal Fears\u00a0(Metascore: 39)<\/h3>\n

Primal Fears looked to have a lot going for it from early screenshots and videos. The top-down shooter from DNS development looked promising to say the least.<\/p>\n

The PC game ended up with a Metascore of 39, and was slammed for delivering nothing original, and arrived with terrible gameplay and production values.<\/p>\n

\"PRimal<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Fish! Hooked On\u00a0(Metascore: 39)<\/h3>\n

The title of this game already set it at a disadvantage, and upon release, it was evident that something was fishy about the Vita fishing sim.<\/p>\n

The game is said to lack any fun gameplay mechanics, and instead turns the gaming recreation of fishing into something that resembles the real thing.<\/p>\n
