* ''?''[[note]]Yahtzee mentions in his review of this and ''El Paso, Elsewhere'' that ''?'''s review embargo date changed right when his review was due, so he just reviewed the game without mentioning any of the identifying elements to it.[[/note]] -- The second end card at the end of the video said: "Well if you remain curious as to what the second game was rest assured my bottom 5 video will probably be after the embargo" essentially teasing ''?'' being a part of the Bottom 5. Yahtzee later revealed a week after the review went live in a livestream the the game was [[spoiler:''VideoGame/HellboyWebOfWyrd''.]]

** It's also worth theorizing that if Yahtzee places this game in his Top 5, he'll likely place ''VideoGame/{{Stray}}'' in his Blandest 5 as a comparative example on how to make the whole concept of "[[OverlyNarrowSuperlative controlling a small cute furry animal in the post-apocalypse and struggling to keep them alive]]" effectively work to the benefit of the story, gameplay and atmosphere.

* ''VideoGame/{{Stray}}'': While he didn't seem to necessarily ''hate'' this game, Yahtzee wasn't particularly enthused by it either, with him unfavorably likening it to a "walking simulator" due to its constant usage of contextual button prompts for gameplay along with a general lack of depth to its mechanics. As such, it might end up here for similar reasons to how ''VideoGame/EverybodysGoneToTheRapture'' ended up on the Blandest 5 list for 2015 (though granted, he didn't seem to dislike the story in ''Stray'' nearly as much as he did in ''Everybody's Gone'').

** #5: ''VideoGame/{{Stray}}'' -- Basically described it as a glorified walking simulator, and complained that it could be recreated at the player's home as long as one owned both a cat and "a laser pointer shaped like a contextual button prompt"

* '''4''': VideoGame/{{AMY}} (One of the worst horror games he's reviewed, and the fact that it's an indy game didn't stop him from thrashing it. His #3 best game will be set in place to counter any "Yahtzee hates an indy game? HE SOLD OUT HURR DURR OVERPRETENTIOUS DURR" arguments.)

* ''?''[[note]]Yahtzee mentions in his review of this and ''El Paso, Elsewhere'' that ''?'''s review embargo date changed right when his review was due, so he just reviewed the game without mentioning any of the identifying elements to it.[[/note]] -- The second end card at the end of the video said: "Well if you remain curious as to what the second game was rest assured my bottom 5 video will probably be after the embargo" essentially teasing ''?'' being a part of the Bottom 5.

** Guessing this as Most Blandest, just for Yahtzee's attachment to RE4.

* 2: ''VideoGame/AloneInTheDarkIllumination'': An ObviousBeta that ignores its series' legacy.

* ''VideoGame/AloneInTheDarkIllumination'': So bad Yahtzee gave up playing, and judged the rest of the game based on the mission names.

** #2: ''VideoGame/GothamKnights'' -- After starting out noting how an ideal superhero game a la ''VideoGame/MarvelsSpiderMan'' should be able to make the player feel like the superhero in question, Yahtzee then complained that his experience in ''Gotham Knights'' where he constantly struggled against enemies with "spongy health bars" in same-y punch-ups after doodling around on a slow, boring movement mechanic in the form of a motorbike made him feel more like "an overworked pork butcher with an unusually long commute"

* ''VideoGame/GothamKnights'' and ''VideoGame/MidnightSuns'': Yahtzee gave fairly negative reviews to both of these games, but as his criticisms were more based around how [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks dull, repetitive and generic]] he found them to be, they sound more like ripe fodder for the Blandest 5 list rather than the Bottom 5 list.

* ''VideoGame/Forspoken'' -- Yahtzee called this game 'everything that's wrong with writing and game design'.

* ''VideoGame/EndlingExtinctionIsForever'': Yahtzee spent a lot of his review praising it for its use of an open world to the benefit of its story and an organically-delivered, strong exploration focus that worked in conjunction with its usage of StoryBreadcrumbs. Additionally, while he did complain about the ending being a real downer, he still praised its GreenAesop and argued that its {{Anvilicious}} nature was (to an extent) valid & necessary.

* ''VideoGame/BabylonsFall'': Yahtzee all but confirmed it would be going on his bottom five in the game's [=post-ZP=] review stream.

* ''VideoGame/TheQuarry'': With the exception of ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', virtually '''every''' Creator/SupermassiveGames-penned game has appeared in his Blandest 5 at the end of each respective year, so it's likely going to show up here.

* ''VideoGame/{{Stray}}'': While he didn't seem to necessarily ''hate'' this game, Yahtzee wasn't particularly enthused by it either, with him unfavorably likening it to a "walking simulator" due to its constant usage of contextual button prompts for gameplay. As such, it might end up here for similar reasons to how ''VideoGame/EverybodysGoneToTheRapture'' ended up on the Blandest 5 list for 2015 (though granted, he didn't seem to dislike the story in ''Stray'' nearly as much as he did in ''Everybody's Gone'').
** As noted above, if ''Endling'' shows up on his Top 5 list for the year, there's a greater chance of him placing ''Stray'' on the Blandest 5 list as part of him making a "compare-contrast" example of how one game (''Endling'') used the same premise significantly better than the other (''Stray'') did.

* ''VideoGame/HardspaceShipbreaker'': Yahtzee was very fond of the gameplay loop that Hardspace provided with being a unique simulator game with an existent chance to mess up if he isn't paying enough attention, since it brings a sense of satisfaction and challenge to the game. However, he still had complaints about the game, one of which led into a massive tirade about how it's a constant issue for games to force gameplay to come to a standstill purely to allow the plot to take focus, so it's debatable if it would be placed onto the Top 5 for that reason.

* ''VideoGame/Babylon's Fall'': Yahtzee all but confirmed it would be going on his bottom five in the post ZP review.

* ''VideoGame/SaltAndSacrifice'': Yahtzee specifically complained about how uninteresting the ending was and how needlessly similar it was to most other {{Soulslike RPG}}s (along with it replicating the [[ScrappyMechanic bad application of healing potions]] that was previously seen in ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}''), so he'll probably put it here to serve as a reflection of his comments in the ''Slightly Something Else'' podcast episodes where he admits that he's starting to suffer from Souls-like fatigue.

** Sadly, Jossed. The only one he's played is Kingdom Hearts III, and he hated it.
