Twitter Account Showcases The Most Utterly Disgusting Food From Video Games

We love a good Twitter account here at GB HQ - and here's one we've had a good chuckle or two at, of late. LowPolly is an account that collects the worst of in-game food - and it's a delightful scroll for your down-time, this Friday (or, indeed, any day of the week).

Take a look at this platter, for example, from 2001's generally well-received FPS Return to Castle Wolfenstein. What is it, exactly? Chicken? Chicken... and potatoes? Or bread, perhaps? Is it cooked, at all? Is this a more deadly foe than any supposed actual enemy in the game? Almost certainly, probably.

While we can't be sure what that meat is, in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, we're fairly certain these hooked-up treats in 1997's Tomb Raider II are hams... At least, that's what the caption tells us. Truthfully, we're going to just nod in agreement and move away from these meaty decorations, tastefully displayed to really say to visitors: yes, I eat the flesh of other beings. Beings that may well be mostly made up of right angles.

And on and on it goes: something that's meant to be a sandwich from Team Fortress 2; some Metal Gear Solid ketchup; terrifying sausages from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn; so many janky pizzas and burgers (just, so, many). There are contributions from The Walking Dead (sure you wanna eat that meat?) and the Grand Theft Auto series (that burger will end you). But there's one very modern game that's getting a lot of attention on the account: Cyberpunk 2077.

And look, this isn't us sticking the knife in ever deeper, on CD Projekt Red's somewhat-mangled open-word adventure of late 2020 - a game so poorly optimised on past-gen consoles that PlayStation took it off sale. We wanted the game to do well, and we still do! But the food. Readers, please, the food. What went wrong with its food?

LowPolly has a feast of Cyberpunk 2077's delicacies on show, including what might be noodles, and a pizza that seems to be hovering, menacingly. Must be because of the illegal pineapple on it. But our pick of the Night City cuisine showcased on LowPolly has to be the burger and fries combo that... No, I am not accepting that these chips are from a video game released in the year 2020. Surely, there has been a mistake. (Indeed, mistakes were made on Cyberpunk 2077... You may well have heard about them.)
