10 Most Hated Mobile Games From Great Video Game Franchises

10. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is undoubtedly one of the worst games on this list, and may have featured higher if it were from a more highly acclaimed series. The name Harry Potter isn’t the first thing that springs to mind when discussing great gaming franchises, but they actually consistently licensed good titles, including a memorable Game Boy Color release tied to the first movie, and a well regarded sports game in Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup, amongst others.

The 2018 release was a first venture into the modern Android and iOS market for Potter, and was met with instant resistance for its slow gameplay and aggressive monetisation in a game largely marketed to children. The game was an uninspired RPG set as a prequel to the Harry Potter series, and delivered very little of what fans were looking for.

Things would improve for the J. K. Rowling series on mobile with the following year’s Wizards Unite, a Pokémon Go style game that players were generally more keen on.
