Which mod is the worst?

Between Hunt Down the Freeman, Overcharged, Cinematic Mod, and Genry's Great Escape, which of these mods would you say is the worst?

hdtf only since its development and reception were a massive trainwreck.

rest may have "terrible" gameplay and even dumbass developers, but afaik they're just people doing their own things. i mean, would i call my little sister's bad joke of a drawing worse than a trainwreck?

I would choose Genry's Great Escape because it was an absolute aberration, but forgive me for saying this but Overcharged takes the #1 spot. Let one thing be clear, I do not rate it as the worst mod. The mod is very notable, I saw it on YouTube many times and it was incredible.
But there is one thing that really bothers us and that is the problems with crashes. After releasing its latest version, there are many people reporting all kinds of problems and the developers seem to not have much effort in fixing it.
It is not the worst mod, but a player loses the desire to play it because of this problem.
There will be people who won't have that happen to them, but it will for many.

Interesting, i would personally say Genry's Great Escape is the worst, but i can see what you guys mean. Respect your opinions.

Cinematic in a way.

In contrary of HDTF it tried to make "Half Life 2 but better" while failing whereas at least the other two were original at least.

Few mods do try to reintroduce cut content, and even fewer have succeeded in any meaningful way, so you do have to kinda give overcharged that point... although it didn't implement those features and characters very well... meanwhile HDTF was more of just a cash grab. There's also Cinematic mod being split up into so many different downloads, and needing a whole different launcher to work. And genry's great escape, the voice acting is the most glaring issue.

Just to cover a few things. But yeah, Cinematic is a chore to get working, more so than many other mods. On top of Alyx being... well... very sussy, so to say. But i'd personally say it's at least entertaining, unlike HDTF. And Genry's... well, you don't even have a hud, because the mod never gives you an HEV suit or anything. Combined with the voice acting, below average level design, and the vehicle sequences being skipped... it's funny bad, but i'd still say it's worse if you ignore HDTF costing money. If you do count that, HDTF is definitely the worst.

HDTF is basically

"Mom, can we get Entropy Zero 2?"

"No sweetie, we already have EZ2 at home."
