7 Worst Video Games Of 2021 (So Far)

3. Evil Inside

Okay, we've definitely hit peak "Where the hell is P.T./Silent Hills" territory.

It feels every year there are a handful of ostensibly P.T. clones coming with slow corridor crawls, distant crying infants, slowburn reveals of what's really going on, and massive volume-spiking jump-scares trying to leave a mark.

As Konami continue to barely put out any titles worth your time, it seems they're happy to let the IP sit idly by, and watch the masses - and I do mean masses - cash in.

Where the likes of 2018's Visage is a highly recommendable - albeit fairly cheaply-made P.T.-a-like, Evil Inside - a 40 minute carbon copy of P.T. does very little to justify a price tag.

Borrowing its base setup from the unreleased Silent Hills - centring on a murdered family and the father being culpable - even the base layout of the environment, colour palette and sound design are all lifted from 2014's short-lived demo.

Sadly, while it'll be a streamers dream to react to, Evil Inside only reminds you of what could've been from the team-up of Hideo Kojima, Guillermo del Toro and Norman Reedus, rather than carrying on from where they left off.
