15 Most Disappointing Video Games of 2024 [First Half]

Alone in the Dark

Alone in the Dark’s 1992 original is foundational, laced with atmospheric storytelling and satisfactory puzzles. The game’s combat wasn’t the primary draw, which is understandable given the limitations of the day. But, for its 2024 reincarnation its befuddling why the lacklustre combat has been maintained, given the 3-decades plus of game development since. Either too easy or a chore, Alone in the Dark 2024 might’ve been better if combat wasn’t featured at all.
