Troll And I
Currently sitting at a Metacritic score of 39, Troll and I makes a case to be one of the worst games of this generation. Its box art, on the other hand, remains alluring to unsuspecting players.
Troll and I is a narrative-focused action game that revolves around a Troll escaping hunters in Scandanavia. During his escape, the Troll encounters a little boy named Otto who becomes determined to save him.
The amazing box art depicts the story very well by showing the Troll smashing a vehicle while Otto rides on his back as the hunters in the foreground prepare for battle with the beast.
In a generation where most box art is just a generic military soldier with their back turned, Troll and I deserves acknowledgment for their thoughtful representation of their game on the cover.
Although the box art’s depiction of the story is endearing, the execution of the story in-game leaves a lot to be desired.
Bad storytelling coupled with sluggish controls and frame rates that make the game nearly unplayable on the Nintendo Switch puts Troll and I as one of the worst games on our list.
