Top 10 Worst Horror Games


[Music]
is that supposed to be scary welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
worst horror games for this list we’ll
be looking at those games that fall flat
in the night due to poor gameplay
laughable graphics or lackluster scares
no need to tuck in the kids for these
ones
the only nightmares will be us
shuttering at the trade-in value on
these titles number 10 chew on the
grudge
[Music]
a horror game that uses motion controls
is one thing but a horror game that’s
also based on a movie series they wanted
this one to fail didn’t they
we suppose that calling it motion
controls is a bit unfair since the only
motion is using the Wiimote like a
flashlight ooh spooky
even the mooks creator takashi shimizu
couldn’t save this flop a bare-bones
story bland environments abysmal
controls outdated graphics the only
saving grace is that the game is
pathetically short we just hope that the
grudge doesn’t linger in our wheeze or
is that the rate and at whatever
number nine night trap way to go control
I knew you could do it yeah that’s
definitely controversial enough to
create the ESRB this game practically
bathes itself in gooey cheese the music
the Saved by the Bell asked acting do
you recycled animations of catching
those Power Ranger rejects and traps but
you can only laugh at the obscurity for
so long after a while you start to
realize that the game is well you know
super boring
you can see it in his eyes he’s wearing
sunglasses I mean you can tell by his
face he by the number story and click on
this box gameplay is totally dull once
you memorize the pattern or look up the
FAQ you can beat the game faster than
you can memorize the song don’t try

number eight Resident Evil survivor what
while shooting zombies is a core element
to the Resident Evil franchise turning
it into what’s supposed to be a
fast-paced shooter just doesn’t work
[Music]
Resident Evil or at least past Resident
Evil’s we’re about exploration planning
your kills carefully and that slow
feeling of dread when a corridor was
just a bit too quiet
that’s not how light gun shooters work
though we suppose this particular one
didn’t work that great to begin with
since the US version didn’t have light
gun support this left us with an
amnesiac protagonist moving at a snail’s
pace to shoot whatever appeared on
screen I guess number 7 drew ‘no morbus
greatest chests ah please leave me alone
I’m tired we’re not saying that video
games require graphic violence and sex
well ok so we kind of are but if your
lead character is a woman like drew ‘no
well we expect well we don’t expect a
game like this it’s good the comic book
series that surrounds our heroine here
is the very definition of explicit while
it’s video game shiz away from explicit
material that might have been ok if the
game were actually okay no it’s better
if I stay away right off the bat though
the sensual voluptuous alluring Juna is
kind of not any of those things and
that’s not just from a look standpoint
that’s from an interesting character
standpoint don’t you move
she’s got a buddy play
from there it’s just a great a boredom
fest of poorly designed monsters
standard horror environments and death
scenes that even the girls from night
trap would laugh at number six black
soul
in an age where we constantly mourn the
loss of classic resident evils and
silent hill’s a gaming throwback to the
titles that used to scare us should have
been a war lovers dream come true
instead we got this the worst part is
you can see what they were trying to do
and that being said the game should
still look and sound better than
crumpled paper on the wall as it stands
the game is an eyesore to look at and it
fails to capture the magic of the titles
it’s trying so hard to pay homage to
number five Friday the 13th
[Music]
this feels like beating a dead horse or
should we say a dead camp counselor yeah
I guess we deserve a Jason style beating
for that one and that’s exactly what
happens if you dare play this awful game
figuratively of course you’re tasked
with trying to rescue camp counselors
assuming you can even figure out what to
do where to go or how to take on Jason
and a series of impossible punch out
like battles this game should have been
left to drown in the depths of Crystal
Lake and take the scalding memory of LJN
down with it
number four the letter it would be rude
to play a lab track over this entry but
seriously how did this even make it to
the Nintendo eShop now we’ll have to
admit it was admirable of the developers
to want to create a horror mystery title
for the Wii U especially since there’s
not much like that out there for the
console and you know what it’s admirable
that they continued on after the failed
IndieGoGo campaign but this come on this
looks like a tech demo for Windows 95 to
be fair it is forgivingly cheap at only
2 bucks but we’ll save you the trouble
spoiler alert it was all a dream the end
you’re done
number three The Walking Dead survival
instinct sorry brother
with telltale games constantly hitting
it out of the park we were excited to
see what the next Walking Dead video
game could be even if telltale weren’t
behind this next title so now we’d
rather have been eaten by a walker than
deal with a I like this
this game could have we’d should have
been a success especially with it
focusing on series favorite Darryl what
we got was a slopped together cash grab
and trust us Walking Dead doesn’t need
to be this desperate for money thank
goodness that Kojima and Norman Reedus
are friends otherwise this would be the
game we have to associate with our
beloved Walking Dead actor
number two Amy something’s not right
dear future developers if you decide to
put escort missions in your game just
just don’t okay cool
dear god what’s happened here Amy stick
close to it that may sound a bit harsh
but if you’ve played this game you’ll
understand our strong hatred for
bringing little girls from point A to
point B because that’s basically the
whole game wait for me here I’m going to
go around and I’ll come back to you on
the other side we will say that amy has
a somewhat interesting twist you’re
protecting a child who’s immune to the
threat that you’re protecting her from
however this novel idea is quickly lost
due to bad acting poorly synced lip
movements and someone must frustrating
gameplay in horror no no you know what
in any video game genre period o city
has been contaminated
we’re barricaded in the hospital trying
to figure this out before we get to our
number one pick let’s stir up some
scares with these honourable mentions
number one alone in the dark 2008 before
resident evil before Silent Hill there
was alone in the dark a 1992 horror game
that revolutionized the genre with its
graphics its story and best of all its
frightening atmosphere which admittedly
doesn’t look like much now but back then
goosebumps
fast forward to 2008 where we were
subjected with what was supposed to be
the grand return of this classic
franchise seeing the decline of Resident
Evil and Silent Hill was bad enough but
this we waited seven years for this you
know the road is not supposed to
collapse this title was sadly only the
beginning of the end as 2015
illumination put the final nail in what
should have been a pristine
survival-horror coffin do you agree with
our list we are facing difficult times
which were video game kept you up at
night with disappointment instead of
fear for more frightful talk pens
published every day be sure to subscribe

calling in the abomination
