Over the years I've played a bunch of awful games. But the one that always sticks with me is ET. I spent hours stuck in pits in that game.

Evergrace. Half-baked and outdated in every way. Life is too short to play bad games just because they're cheap.
The OST is a nightmare too, that game is a purgatorial experience
Sea of Thieves.
That game is too buggy over the years it exists to be as popular as it is, and not in a "haha smol glitch" buggy, but "lets disconnect at the WORSE possible moments" (like you having a ton of loot).
Not worth it. A waste of 30 bucks.
Ooh, I'm torn. They're both NES "games" - Rocky & Bullwinkle had sluggish controls, awful hitboxes, and I can only describe its graphics AND sound design as offensive. That said, at least it technically played like a game. Where's Waldo didn't even have that. I think Where's Waldo is the worst, but it's close.
While people who know me would think that it is Bioshock 2 for a ton of issues, but that is mostly because it is automatically compared to Bioshock, ARK: Survival Evolved for its issues but I have 9k hours in it and growing so I can't say that, or the horribly disappointing Baldur's Gate after I finally got to play it years after and it kept giving me migraines. No. The worst game I ever played was also one of the most beautiful and beautifully animated arcade games, Dragons Quest. You had to match your movements to certain flashes on the TV and between input lag, multiple inputs reading as rejections, and frequently flaky controls the game was impossible for all but the most rich to get past the first 2 or three prompts. I on occasion saw a player who had pumped a couple of hundred of dollars into the machine to figure out its quirks and know when it was broken and they actually got somewhere. I never did. The same happened for the less successful Space Quest which was the same machine with a new cabinet, broadly speaking.
Root Letter. They said it was like Ace Attorney. It was not like Ace Attorney at all! 🤬
I got recommended Suikoden 4 by a guy at GameStop when I was younger saying that Suikoden 2 & 3 were pretty good so this would be worth a try. I played & beat it since I didn’t have many games & already paid for it, but it sure wasn’t very good.
