I must humbly request that Backloggd adds a 0 stars option, because this is without a doubt the single worst game I've ever played.

I've groaned through Sonic 06's absurd loadtimes. I've witnessed firsthand Action 52's hilarious masquerade as a piece of electronic entertainment. I've crept my way through Castlevania: The Adventure's busted halls. I've even just recently experienced Mega Man X6's completely unhinged, Adderall-fueled game design. None of that even vaguely compares to the embodiment of utter incompetence that Mega Man X7 is.

Nothing here works. The graphics are a special kind of ugly, like a child's crayon interpretation of Mega Man but with none of the charm. The controls are delayed and clunky, only worsened by the floaty physics, glacial speed at which the game moves and abominable collision. The music is uninspired. The obnoxious voice acting and its incessant use are a relentless assault on the player's auditory senses. The level design is bland at best, indescribably bad at worst. The bosses are all good reasons why I'm adamantly pro-choice. Even the fucking menus are dysfunctional.

Please, for the love of god, do not play this game. I know curiosity can get the best of us, but there is nothing to be gained from even acknowledging that it exists.
