10 Amazing Games You Didn't Realise Aged HORRIBLY
2. Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
Some 15 years after its release, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare remains one of the most celebrated DLCs of all time, many lauding its cinematic story, brilliant voice acting, and novel zombie-infused take on the core Western action gameplay.
The overall perception is that Undead Nightmare is a rare DLC that's as polished as the original game, but played today, it's honestly a bit of a slog to get through.
For sure, the cutscenes are still great fun, but the gameplay? Not so much. It doesn't help that the early missions in particular are absolutely chores, from wiping out repetitive waves of zombies to going on a wildly convoluted, maddeningly overlong fetch quest for flowers.
In 2010 these dishwater-dull tasks perhaps didn't seem quite so tedious, but in 2025, where open world games are a dime a dozen and players have decidedly less patience for this sort of generic, even "lazy" quest design, it's harder to accept.
Much as Undead Nightmare was a brilliant DLC for its time, from a gameplay perspective it doesn't really hold up - the moment-to-moment missions are so bereft of character that you'll likely want to race from one cutscene to the next as fast as possible.
