The worst video game ever made is coming to PS5, Switch and Xbox this month
An indie classic that spawned an entire genre, despite having virtually no gameplay, is coming to consoles and the best that can be said about it, is that it's cheap. Given the genre it created is called an indle game, it's fair to say that Cookie Clicker does not have the deepest gameplay in the gaming world. All you do is click on picture of a cookie, to make more cookies, to buy in-game items to automate the process of clicking on pictures of cookies. To call it inane is to understate on a titanic scale and as far as we're concerned it's an anathema to everything video games are about. However, somehow t's incredibly popular and has sold millions of copies on Steam, with a concurrent peak of 67,806 players. And now it's coming to consoles. Why it's taken so long, considering it was originally released in paid form in 2021, isn't clear but it's due to arrive on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5 on May 22. French creator Julien Thiennot admitted to having created the game in a single evening, but we can't blame him for the game's success as he surely never imagined it going on to have this kind of reception. The game will cost £4.29 on all console formats, which is the same as it is on Steam. Strangely, there are no Xbox One or PlayStation 4 versions, and yet it's hard to imagine the game would tax their processors too hard. There doesn't seem to be anything particularly new in the console version, but it will feature over 600 in-game upgrades, various mini-games, a dragon to pet (i.e. click), and music by C418. More Trending Mind you, we wouldn't pretend to be experts on how much the game has changed since its debut in 2013, and according to publisher DashNet it does include 'new features', such as permanent upgrades that mean you can leave the game to play itself even more quickly. For obvious reasons, the idle game genre is most popular on mobile and PC but some of its other big hitters include Make It Rain: The Love Of Money, Clicker Heroes, Shark Game, Kittens Games, and other non-games whose existence we are loathe to acknowledge.
