"I downloaded a game through the internet yesterday but I think I haven't got a worthy game."

Please check.
 
What do you mean by "worthy game"? Are you saying that the game you downloaded is not worth playing?
 
Which dictionary definition of "worthy" do you think applies to computer games?
 
Or perhaps, you feel that the game isn't worthy of you.
 
"I downloaded a game through the internet yesterday but I think I haven't got a worth playing game."
 
'...but I think I haven't got a game worth playing'.
 
I'd write "... but I think I didn't get a game worth playing" or, more naturally in American English, "... but I don't think I got a game worth playing'.

Haven't got means that none of my games are worth playing, which may be true but doesn't follow logically from the preceding phrase.
 
I'd simplify it to "... but I don't think it's worth playing".
 
I'd simplify the first clause to 'Yesterday I downloaded a game online'.
 
I'd simplify the first clause to 'Yesterday I downloaded a game online'.

Or briefer still, "Yesterday I downloaded a game."

Tufguy, it would be worthwhile for you to review the way forum members have reduced your original statement's word count. We all subject our own writing to a similar process, aiming for a clear, economical style. Such writing is easy to read and understand.
 
The more words you use, the more mistakes you make.
