Stupid Never Dies Is Easily the Worst Game of 2026
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
The review calls *Stupid Never Dies* the worst game of 2026 so far, arguing that its colourful presentation cannot compensate for sluggish combat, repetitive progression and an unsettling story. The criticism matters because the game aims to combine action RPG mechanics with a zombie romance comedy, but the reviewer says its treatment of the romance makes the experience uncomfortable.
The debut game from GPTRACK50, a studio founded by former Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, follows Davy, a zombie fighting monsters in a world where humans have been displaced. He hopes to save Julia, a human woman frozen in a mall restaurant, and win her affection. The reviewer spent 26 hours playing and criticises mechanics that let Davy leave gifts by Julia’s body, build a heart meter and browse her old social media posts, describing the premise as an example of “fridging”.
- The review names it the worst game of 2026 so far.
