Possibly the worst game to ever be created?

Big Rigs hardly counts as a "game", considering it obviously was 'forced' out to the market as an incomplete product and... hummm... wait... never mind. Let it count.

Oh Atari, how the mighty have fallen.

Think those are bad, you should check out some of the garbage on Steam Early Access. Most of those games are cobbled together from Unity asset packs for a quick buck.

holy shit wtf

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing was developed in Ukraine[7] by California-based company Stellar Stone.[2] The game was developed offshore so the company could produce the game at a cheap price of at least US$15,000, compared to costs three to five times higher in price with other European or United States-based developers.[8] The game's programmer was Denis Julitov; Artem Mironovsky served as its designer; Yaroslav Kulov, Svetlana Slavinskaya, Peter Jameson, and NixPix Ltd. served as its 3D artists; Tim Maletsky designed the game's interface; and Alex Burton composed the music and provided sound effects.[9]

15k budget LOL

Jim Sterling lamented about this recently...

Yep, saw that a while back.

Atari, by all logic, should have gone out of business 30 years ago. Yet people keep digging it up its corpse. Don't know why. The last time the brand had any credibility was before I was born. Guess investors are hoping to capitalize off the 80's nostalgia fad. Seems to be a common thread in the industry today.

Speaking of Jim Stirling, check out some videos of the Slaughtering Grounds. It's not the worst piece of shovelware on Early Access, but certainly the most infamous. Like a lot of these games, it was hastily cobbled together from Unity assents and parts unknown, presumably stolen off the web. Next to no gameplay, poorly photoshopped textures, bugs galore. After Stirling and a few others called out the game for how lazy it was, the developer threw a full on temper tantrum. We're talking Phil Fish level crazy.

but seriously, Illumination is not the worst game ever, and doesnt deserve a 18. Metacritic critics are doing a reverse-inflation of the scores. Back when scores where first used, a score of sub-50 meant the game was so bad nobody should buy it. Nowadays, if it just so slightly displeases a fanboy, it's a 0/10.
