10 Shameless Cash Grab Video Games You Must AVOID

10. The House Of The Dead: Remake

Although the arcade version of the original House of the Dead required a light gun to play, the 2022 reboot just uses a regular controller, compromising the experience. The gyro aiming is so inaccurate, you'll turn the feature off after five minutes (if you're still alive) and use the motion stick instead, which isn't much better.

Even though the graphics of HOTD Remake are very basic, it takes slightly longer than an eternity for each level to load.

Even if you get past these issues, you'll tire of this reimagined railshooter quickly since you can complete it in 30 minutes (even if you watch the cut-scenes). If you were looking forward to playing with a mate, you'll be disappointed to learn there's no online co-op.

But the worst thing about this reboot is the reload mechanic. In the original, you had to shoot your light gun away from the screen to load a new clip. This little mechanic stopped The House of the Dead from feeling like a generic shooter since it forced the player to be tactical when to reload while battling zombies.

In this misaligned remake though, you can reload with the press of a button, removing all strategic gameplay.
