Gene Rain (2018)

One of the worst games of the year 2018, and I've had the opportunity to try out a few expressly waste titles.

While I personally am against myself giving Gene Rain this score, There's no defending the dreadful nature of this game. However, if you're a fan of so-bad-its-good video games, in all their rarities, then I cannot recommend this game enough.

For me, this game was an incoherent mess. I struggled to follow things, which is a shame as I was looking forward to enjoying Gene Rain, but the game's meh gameplay mechanics, with unresponsive controllers, not to mention the convoluted story, those are things that got in the way and kept me from being able to enjoy my time with this one. I can't recommend the game in its current condition.

Gene Rain fails on may fronts. Controls are inaccurate. Translation is poor. Use of various gameplay mechanics if flawed. There is nothing that Gene Rain does good enough to score it some points. At least it's the best Chinese game I've played to date.

Gene Rain is a combination of so many terrible elements that at times it's genuinely, completely, baffling. At one point a character says "Existence has long been considered the only value in humans." I'm not sure I agree with him, because the other value in humans is their ability to not play Gene Rain.
