It seems that there is no middle ground when it comes to video game remakes. Or there are those that exceed even to the original work, or are they very mediocre and cheap ones made to make a couple of extra dollars. While we love the first ones, today we’ll focus on those remakes we wish we could forget.
Remakes that shouldn’t exist… or should they?
So since in the coming weeks we are going to have the launch of several remakes, we have thought that what better time to see what the remakes have been. worse have come out according to the great video game scholars of Metacritic.
5. Silent Hill HD Collection
We begin with a remake that, although it is not an unnatural abomination, It’s not a big deal either.. The worst of this collection of Silent Hill 2 and 3 is that it is got rid of items iconic of the originals, like that iconic voice acting and the fog itself. For all this, it is left with a 70 score on Metacritic, which is not a bad rating.
4. Mafia II: Definitive Edition
We continue with another remake that is still in the area of mediocrity. Although there is a fairly considerable improvement in terms of graphics, nothing could cope with the large number of bugs and errors that he had, turning away many fans. With a 59 score on Metacritic, this is a remake that you can do without without much problem.
3. Warcraft III: Reforged
When it was announced a few years ago that we would have a remake of Warcraft IIIone of the best games in the franchise, we were all very excited. Poor fools of us. When we had it in our hands we found a game that eliminated many elements from the original, angering fans. It has a 59 rating on Metacritic.
2. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy- The Definitive Edition
What can be said about this authentic disaster that hasn’t already been said? They took three of the best games from the beginning of the century and turned them into a mess of bugs that looked terrible. And on top of that they charged you 70 euros for it. It was a very low play from Rockstar that haunts them even today. Hence it has a rating of 53 on Metacritic.
1. XIII Remake
There are few things that annoy us more than when a remake destroy Completely a cult classic. The remake of XIII is a great example of everything a remake should not do. With a horrible 39 rating on Metacritic, it was full of bugs, orthopedic gameplay and atrocious graphics. A complete disaster of a game.
And you? What is your least favorite remake?
