The developers must be devastated seeing their game in this tier list

The moisties is more anticipated than the oscars

"How far can you push someone with boredom and dogshit before their spirit finally breaks" For Charlie to say that, your game has to be really bottom of the barrel.

I really wasn't expecting Balan Wonderworld to be the worst one on this list.. Not because it's good... but because i've trained my psyche to forget that it even existed. God that game sucked.

The worst part of GTA definitive addition is the fact people have been modding the 3 original games and updating the graphics all these years and the version made by a big studio looks worse than the original

The moisties are the most prestigious award shows of the year.

Us: why no moisties? Charlie: there was no moisture to be had in 2021

As someone who platinum’d Biomutant, you have to admit that those childhood scenes where instead of making a baby player model that just took the adult player model and shrunk it 75% is worthy of a Moisty for Boldest Artistic Decision

I actually agree with vanguard not being on this list. It's a list of games not texture packs

Battlefield is probably one of the saddest launches for a fps game ive seen in a very long time. Sad state is an understatement

5- Bio Mutant 1:10 4- E Footbal 3:14 3- GTA Def Edition 4:13 2- Battlefield 2042 5:47 1- Ballen Wonderworld 7:32 Hopes This Helps Yall :)

When Far Cry 6 basically wins triple A GOTY by default because it was the only game that came out from a big studio that was playable on release, you know we've got issues.

The issue with 2042 isn’t just the regular Battlefield scuffed launch. Lack of guns. Lack of game modes Lack of maps Missing regular features every game should have Overall downgrade to battlefield Specialists make no sense Battlefield becoming a hero shooter is a loss of identity.

Moisties should become an award show, it would be fucking hilarious.

Honorable mentions: Call of Duty Vanguard, by Sledgehammer Games. The campaign is extremely lacking historical accuracy to WW2. You have Japanese weapons in Germany and German guns in Japan. Most of the in the features in the multiplayer was just copied and pasted from World At War and COD WW2 such as the animations, score-streaks, weapons, weapon attachments, and maps from the previous WW2 games. There is also nothing different with WW2 shipment and Vanguard shipment. Lastly the zombies mode is SOO bad that a COD zombies ripoff in Roblox can do better than Vanguard Zombies. There’s no paka punch camo, no round based map and the ONLY map in zombies is a copied map from the multiplayer. I can’t even explain to you how little effort was put into making this game.

The theory behind Balan Wonderworld is that is was originally intended to be a basic mobile game and then they decided to port it to consoles. The way that everything is controlled using a single button, the roundness of the icons, the simple mechanics, the linearity of the level design, and whatnot all point to a game that was designed to be played on a phone. Truly a huge disappointment. I had high hopes for the game given Yuji Naka's track-record with original titles, but he blew it big time.

Something has to be done about the number of broken/unfinished games that drop, especially because it's happening so often now. You shouldn't have to wonder if the game you just blew 60 bucks on isn't going to function, leaving you with a complete financial loss Edit: I'm also shocked at the number of AAA companies willing to release games that they know aren't fully functional. Rockstar, CD Projekt Red, and EA are only a few examples. I almost quit gaming a few months ago because most newer games come out of production in unacceptable quality and it's shocking, almost hilarious

Imagine pre ordering an EA game expecting it to actually be finished. I’m always shocked that people buy an EA game when it first comes out and then are surprised that it’s in a horrible state like that’s literally been every EA release for years now how do you not expect it at this point?

I honestly feel the same way about battlefield, literally had so much for the 100 hours I put in but boy once I unlocked everything my interest plummeted bc it was just missing so much .

the fact that this is on gaming trending tells Charlie how important this tier list really is

Charlie’s street cred is so far beyond any other mortal that he can openly admit he’s not a sports fan and still be on a first name basis with Gronk.

Gaming in 2021 was a cold bowl of diarrhea taken to the dome

1:11 #5 Biomutant 3:15 #4 eFootball 4:13 #3 Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition 5:48 #2 Battlefield 2042 7:33 #1 Balan Wonderworld

I think it’s sad that people use “the game was made in a pandemic” as an excuse for a shitty game. Delay it. No one will be pissed so long as the content is good

Man, 2021 really was the Shoulda Woulda Coulda year for gaming.

I love how your video beginnings and endings just get straight to the point

Fun fact about Balan: The team was behind on schedule that they originally was going to pull some costumes from the game in order to meet the deadline. Guess what they focused on That's right, fucking costumes. They went and put all of them in anyway. That shows their priority for this game. The biggest sin of Balan Wonderworld is that Balan's character design is wasted on this dog pile shit of a game and will probably be never used again.

Rockstar games literally made the worst remaster, literally made a mobile game and sold it like a triple a game.

I’m glad the moisties were able to have Charlie host again, I know he’s a busy man

Charlie makes a KZfaq video shorter than half an hour and it’s better then every award show on television

I really enjoy the way you talk about things and how you frame your opinion. What would be a nice improvement are timestamps and putting up stuff on the screen. Like the logos of the games or a few clips about what you are talking about.

For those who want an abridged version, 5. Biomutant 4. E Football 3. GTA Definitive Edition 2. Battlefield 2042 1. Balen Wonder World

You also have to love how the "Definitive Edition" is lacking music that was in the originals because they were too apathetic to pay for the rights to the music lmao

Only Charlie can make an 11 minute video about the worst games of the year without a single edit. Not even a picture of the cover of the game he's talking about, and still get 2 million views

I really thought that he was gonna mention _Fast & Furious_ but that game actually had such a good ending and taught us that the friends are the families that we made along the way.

2042 is the biggest disappointment in my opinion

The battlefield one was definitely the saddest one. All the trailers and such made it look good, like they were listening to the fans. Then more info dropped and then the beta dropped which personally killed the excitement for me.

2042 with a 65%: is on this list Call of Duty vanguard with a 45% on the moist meter: am I a joke to you?

Rockstar even went so far to remove the originals from Steam.

The best thing you can go to stop unfinished games from being released is to not buy them until they are in an acceptably good state. Wait a month or two, it's not going to kill you. Force game companies to finish the game before you give them a cent.

Balan Wonderworld was designed as if platformers never existed, the game takes so many established concepts and then ruins them for absolutely no reason.

Biomutant had a better release than franchise juggernauts Grand Theft Auto AND Battlefield. All things considered, that's a win, GG.

Balan Wonderland was so bad that Charlie forgot the exact title of the game and just called it Wonderworld.

I love how Konami went from making sick games like Castlevania and Contra to making the most generic dogshit like E Football

As someone who was actually excited for 2042 before it came out, I gotta say, saying that EA fucked it up hard is a severe understatement. They didn't fuck it up, they beat it to a bloody pulp. The Battlefield franchise depended on 2042 to survive, and now, it's dead, defiled by its own creator.

the shock in my face when you reminded me that Balan Wonderwolrd, not only exists but came out in 2021

"I'd rather listened to an 8 or 9 hour audio book of someone reading the terms & services to iTunes" -Charlie, 2021

Never forget rockstar sued the modding community for two decades old games that rockstar gives zero shts about anymore. And by zero shts, i mean just look at how definitive editions turned out LOL

WOOOOO MOISTIES I was so worried they weren’t gonna come out

This man doesnt even have to make an effort of editing his videos to make them entertaining.

One of the worst years for gaming, so many rushed, broken, lazy, microtransaction infested and blatantly bad games

Balan Wonderworld is like the Corey Feldman music albums, where someone who once was great puts out an absolute piece of shit and has zero self awareness of how awful their creation is. I can't even imagine the development process of the Sonic/Square/Enix team making Balan Wonderworld. There was literally not a single person on the team who had any power to stand up to Yuji Naka, to tell him "THIS GAME DOES NOT WORK". Nothing in the game makes sense. The backstories for every character is in a separate novel instead of being on the game. It plays terribly and looks over a decade older than it is. Just a masterpiece of awful and Naka should never be allowed near a video game development team again.

If Dunkey had a Bible one of the most preached verses would be "EA always sells you an unfinished game, and then they never finish it."

I’m so glad u put biomutant on here exactly what I was thinking when I saw the thumbnail

I find it funny because I'm guessing that Charlie's #1 spot for the best games is ALSO a 3D platformer (either Psychonauts 2 or It Takes Two), or it's at least in the top 3. In that sense it really gives you a good comparison between what two opposite sides of the same spectrum (genre-wise) are like.

I legitimately forgot that Balan Wonderworld even came out in 2021. Feels like longer

5. biomutant 1:11 4. efootball 2022 3:15 3. gta: definitive edition 4:13 2. battlefield 2042 5:48 1. balan wonderworld 7:33

I actually recoiled from shock that Balan Wonderworld is a 2021 game I thought that game was 2020

Balan Wonderworld is going to have one hell of a cult following.

Damn, feel 100% the same about 2042. Was excited at launch, dumped 50 hours in total, and then they broke it completely, haven't been able to even find a match since. Fucking sad

9:03 "There would be a costume that would let you jump" Now I've never played the game but I'm 90% sure jumping was the *only* thing you could do. Everything else happened while you stood still, whenever it damn wanted to, or when you touched something. Which is still absolutely garbage game design.

5:28 Ironically Rockstar did acquire a team of Gameboy advance developers and they later went on to make great games on the PSP as Rockstar Leeds

If John Christian isn't in the best games of 2021 we will riot. I don't even know if it was made in 2021, but it needs to be on the list.

Charlie: “we didn’t feel a lot of games came out last year.” Me: looks at games that came out in 2021 - SMT V, Metroid Dread, Nier Replicant, It Takes Two, RE: Village, Halo Infinite, Psychonauts 2, Ratchet & Clank, Lost Judgment (haven’t played), Pokémon, etc. “…well, alright then.”

Ah yes the mosities, something we’ve all been waiting for, when Charlie says your game is bad is probably because it is..

At this point we should expect every game with a year at least 20 years in the future in its name to be broken af

i waited all year for this.

If you want to experience the surprisingly-hilarious existential grinding down of a man, I highly suggest watching the full VOD of Dunkey's playthrough of Balan Wonderworld.

My experience with Biomutant was playing for a few hours, getting softlocked somehow and losing about an hour and a half of progress because I hadn't saved in a while, and then stopping because I didn't want to replay that section of the game.

Balan Wonderworld is the “Cats” of gaming.

I forgot Balan Wonderworld even came out this year

I'm shocked Charlie didn't add CoD: Vanguard to the list but there is only so much room for shitty games on one list.

I think what sucks about GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition. is that we were just coming off the heels of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition and how amazingly BioWare remastered the three Mass Effect games, So there was hope that Rockstar would put in the same amount of effort and they didn't.

You know the year was a bad gaming year when there is no moisties.

Great moisties but I would like to see some footage or clip of the game in the video. I had never heard of the Top 1 game so I would like to see what it was.

The worst thing of 2021 was not having a penquinzo/moistcrikital/matt best of the year comp 🥺

It’d be nice if game companies could prioritise FINISHING THE GAME before they release it

6:00 agreed, I had to return the PS4 copy I bought, because Portal was border-line unplayable with the glare glitch.

5. Biomutant. 4. E-Football. 3. GTA Remastered Collection. 2. Battlefield 2042. 1. Balan Wonder world.

I got Biomutant for $3 on release because there was a bug on the EA Store, and I still regret buying it. I probably wouldn't even play the game if it was free. Its that bad.

I was completely shocked when I saw that the trilogy edition had 2 years of development. I was more expecting like 6 months at most.

Fun fact The leviathan DLC for europa universalis 4 is even lower rated than the game you brought up, pretty impressive

"Get in the thunderdome myself" Well, really I think you should move beyond thunderdome.

Most here don’t know about it but Nascar ignition 21 takes the cake no matter what. Nascar obviously isn’t the most popular sport/thing but there is definitely a solid fan base and expectations that theyll releases a game every year like Madden or 2K. They got a new developer this year and the game was BROKEN on release. Like you couldn’t play it, it would just crash on console, and nearly every aspect of the game had some major game breaking glitch.

Biomutant was a game that I was so excited for man. Pre-ordered (thankfully less than 2 weeks before release), I was all about it before it came out. I thought the mutation aspect was so cool and the fighting seemed so unique and special. Not to even say the game was terrible but god damn it was so overrated and every cool aspect that was shown was very small in the actual game, the fighting was so lackluster, and like charlie said, the narrator was so annoying and honestly ruined the game for me. The fact that the narrator was the only thing that spoke english while every other character spoke in gibberish really ruined the immersion and feel for me. Not to mention while the fighting was good, it lacked the "umf" in most looter hack-n-slash games like biomutant and I really wanted it to be good and I was so so so so so hyped for it and it turned out to be a complete disaster.

I’ve been waiting for this all year

These days I feel like every game released is a disappointment

GTA definitive edition just shows how lazy/complacent rockstar have gotten

The lack of NASCAR 21 Ignition on everyone's worst list is really shocking. At it's base, it's solid when it works. But it almost never. EVER. Works.

This was actually very entertaining. Good shit.

Charlie pro tip maybe think of using some editing like video footage of the game your talking about?

The fact that Balan Wonderworld bombed made me sad, because the game imo nailed the atmosphere and aesthetic, yet the level design, gimmicks, and controls are so half baked that I can't feel myself wanting to play. Balan's design was I feel also wasted; he's perfect protagonist material and fits with the aesthetic that I really like, but noooo let's give that role to generic kids

I really can’t understand how bf2042 was ever released. It takes like 10x50.cal rounds from a tank machine gun to kill somebody. It takes three rockets from a helicopter fired within a foot of where someone is to kill them. If you hit a leg shot with the main cannon on either of the tanks it doesn’t kill them. The Bolte has glass that you can shoot straight through and it doesn’t even shatter. There’s only 9 maps, every character in online looks the same, there’s no single player mode and the graphics on ps5 look the same as on old gen. Absolute travesty of a game and charging 60 bucks for it is nothing short of daylight robbery

Personally I would have put COD Vanguard in the #1 spot at least for me because sometimes my game crashes so hard that I can’t turn off my PS4, not even when using the button on the front of the PS4

You should try it takes two Charlie, it does this year justice.

The most shocking part about all of this is that it's called "Balan Wonderworld" and not what my brain autofilled it as, "Balan Wonderland".

Thank you for finally hosting the moisties 2021. It’d be much appreciated if you upload the other 3 to KZfaq as well

The moisties are a distinguished, classical act and I will be honored to attend.

“Pretty dry year” that was clean
