Metacritic has shared a list of the worst games released this year, based on reviews.Metacritic aggregates reviews of TV, film, books and music and then gives them an average score. As part of its end of year summary, the website has shared the 10 worst reviewed games released in 2023.“Any titles with fewer than seven reviews from professional critics are excluded,” it explained, with the list only including titles that are “major enough” to get reviewed by multiple publications.Topping the list of worst games is Daedalic’s The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum with a score of just 34 out of 100, making it “generally unfavourable”. The stealth platformer is set between the events of The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring, and offers an original story for Gollum.According to the list, it’s the “worst Lord Of The Rings game adaptation in history” with reviews calling it “dull” and “tedious” as well as pointing out game-breaking bugs, terrible visuals and criticising the extensive knowledge of Tolkien’s work that’s needed to properly grasp the plot.

Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Harry Styles to pay a levy to help the nation’s small and medium-sized live music spaces.Angus Robertson, SNP Culture Secretary, has said he would consider the tax amid concerns over the future of arts funding in Scotland.It came after he was questioned in Holyrood by Green MSP Mark Ruskell, who suggested that the introduction of just a £1 levy on each ticket could help raise over a million pounds per year.Robertson went on to say that “new thinking” was needed in terms of arts funding in the country.He explained: “We have gone through a pivot point during the pandemic; there has been a change in social behaviours and there has been extreme distress in the arts and cultural sector.“We acknowledge that and we have tried to support the sector through that difficult period.”Robertson added: “The levy proposal is worthy of further consideration.”The Music Venue Trust (MVT) said 120 grassroots venues have closed across Britain in 2023 alone, and that Scotland is “disproportionately” affected (via The Times).Those in favour of the levy have suggested that the additional £1 would go unnoticed by most concertgoers as tickets for these huge shows usually have high prices to begin with.However, critics have claimed that the tax could further price out those on lower incomes because these concerts are already expensive and come with additional fees.Tickets for Taylor Swift‘s upcoming ‘Eras Tour’ dates at the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, for example, cost £109.40 for general standing access.
