10 Worst Video Games Of 2024

10. Alone In The Dark

After 2015's Alone In The Dark: Illumination received atrocious reviews across the board, the franchise was in desperate need of a hard reset. 

So, when Pieces Interactive announced a reimagining, it looked like the creepy saga could get back on track. To be fair, 2024's Alone in the Dark seemed promising, with its photorealistic graphics and its talented leads, David Harbour and Jodie Comer, who portray Detective Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood respectfully.

Since you can play as either Edward or Emily, you should navigate your way through the main campaign as both characters to experience it fully. However, the differences between the two are so slight, a second playthrough adds little to the overall experience, to the point where you wonder why the developers added it in. (Resident Evil did it better back in 1996.)

There's a tense atmosphere, but it's too mild to be considered scary, making the "survival horror" label redundant. There's also a disappointing lack of strategy when it comes to combat. Though there's a diverse range of weapons and enemies, nearly every baddie can be defeated the same way. 

By no means the worst entry, the Alone in the Dark reboot is arguably the most disappointing, since it had real potential at reviving the series.
