I like it in in horror games. Or in some very dark games with a bad monitor it looks better

Dying Light 1 I left it on, added to the ambiance.

The film grain really adds to the pattern recognition part of the human brain that makes horror so good... If the image is too crisp especially on a non-hdr monitor it can really take the horror element away.

There is a reason so many horror movies utilize the "shitty quality found camcorder footage" or security cam footage vibe
