• With a lot of horror game adaptations, the focus tends to be shifted away from horror and towards action. This to me shows that the writers watched a let's play or just saw some scenes or pictures. They miss how much more terrifying it is to exist in that world rather than watching it from outside. So, the tone is completely off. I wonder if anyone who made the movie actually experienced the game as intended (the monsters was on point, though).

• Part of the charm of some video games is how stilted and quirky the lines are, especially compared to the seriousness of the story. Movies iron out all these quirks and end up with a boring, unoriginal product. Resident evil also forgot they were a horror action franchise.

• Sometimes they completely miss what makes a game popular and focus on the boring stuff instead. Assassin's creed is so beloved for the history parts of the game and experiencing a society from different places and times. The movie focused on the modern era, with the protagonist mostly known for being boring. They also whitewashed the main historical character by having the same actor playing him as the modern protagonist. They were different people. (Prince of Persia was even worse and put Jake Gyllenhaal in the role of the lead).

• Sometimes they make a movie out of a game that shouldn't. Hitman, for example is a game that is basically a pretty looking gimmick. The story is not as important as your creativity with killing people. It's basically just a puzzle game and not even a very serious one.

• Another game that should never have been adapted was Angry Birds, which reflects the main problem: they're all cash grabs without a soul.

(for some reason Angry Birds 2 is one of the highest scoring video game movies, though).

Some movies that were (sort of) successful or considered guilty pleasures include Mortal Kombat (really campy), the first Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (campy), Sonic the Hedgehog (listened to fans), Detective Pikachu (3D Pokémon and Ryan Reynolds), World of Warcraft (Chinese Market) and despite everything Resident Evil remains the most successful video game adaptations ever.

It would be a lot better if movies don't take themselves too seriously, but too many do.
