9. The Inpatient (59)

If Bravo Team was Supermassive's major disgrace in 2018, they preceded it with another colossal PSVR disappointment, with their Until Dawn horror spin-off The Inpatient.

Despite being hyped up as a masterclass in VR horror, The Inpatient turned out to be a rather flat, even tedious on-rails effort which, despite its oft-gorgeous visuals and solid sound design, was fatally lacking in atmosphere.

The two-hour length and lack of Game Over possibilities until the very end of the game made it feel a little too much like yet another VR "experience" rather than the full-fat game fans expected.

It wasn't completely terrible, but it nevertheless fell totally short of the mark.
