14 | Whether you're playing on the couch, on the road, or in front of a computer, there's no denying that not everything you play will meet even the most basic of quality control standards. Sometimes, the pain will extend beyond the games themselves [[Horrible/VideoGamesOther to the publishers, the developers, or even the consoles they're played on.]] |

16 | '''''Important Notes:''''' |
17 | # Merely being offensive in its subject matter is not sufficient. Hard as it is to imagine at times, there is a market for all types of deviancy, no matter how small a niche it is. It has to ''fail to appeal even to that niche'' to qualify as this. |
18 | # A game isn't horrible just because WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]], [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]], WebVideo/AngryJoe, WebVideo/JonTron, {{WebVideo/Rerez}} or any other CausticCritic reviewed it. Nor is it horrible just because it was review bombed on Steam, Amazon, and/or Metacritic.[[note]]''VideoGame/Overwatch2'', a perfectly functional game, currently holds the record for the most negatively reviewed game on Steam -- most of the reviews are complaints about the microtransactions and its developer, Creator/BlizzardEntertainment.[[/note]] There needs to be independent evidence, such as reputable, professional reviews, to list it. Though once it is listed, the Caustic Critics can provide the detailed review(s). |
19 | # Also, a game isn't Horrible just because it's a [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames poorly-made licensed tie-in]] or a [[PortingDisaster bad port]]. However, if it's a terrible game on its own or a particularly horrendous port, then it can be listed here. |
