The "Horror games aren't scary" starter pack
Jumpscares are not scares. They're annoying.
I’ve never felt real fear like the non-jumpscare chase scenes in Outlast.
Do you have any other horror games you'd recommend? Outlast 1 & 2 are probably the scariest ones I've played. And yes, I know there's the new one, but I'm waiting for a sale like everybody on Steam does.
Alien isolation is pretty good imo, you never know when to expect the alien and i think the general atmosphere is great. Another one is SOMA, this one can be scary at times but best part of it is story
Im the kind of person that only likes to replay or rewatch something when I’ve truly forgotten most of it.
But its so hard to forget SOMA.
Yeah I have been thinking about it for weeks after playing it. I was looking for some fan theories, if some of the things in the game could be possible irl, analyzing tapes and documents and what do they mean lol
I want so badly to finish SOMA, but I just can’t bring myself to sit through the tension of the section I’m currently in.
It isn’t even necessarily scary, it’s just suspenseful as shit
Not op but Resident Evil 7, Amnesia the bunker, Alien Isolation, Alan Wake 2 and. If u can stomach the fetch questiness if the first 2 levels. Slender: the Arrival
Hard agree on Amnesia the Bunker. Great game.
RE7 is good and probably the scariest RE game. It's kinda weird that the most successful horror game franchise is really only scary in a few games.
RE4 is the most popular RE game and its existence helped popularize a whole sub genre of games
Deadspace
RE3 Nemesis is really good with this. There's rng in the enemies and item placement (one thing REALLY determines how that playthrough will play out for you) and there's alternate paths. Not to mention Nemesis himself comes out in different moments in different playthroughs to keep things fresh
I played the remake, and yes, I've heard the original is better. Capcom needs to put all of the originals on Steam. It can't be that hard and a lot of people would buy 3 in particular.
I bought it on my Vita, though that alone kinda moots this statement. I say the best way to play is to go to the graveyard for games left to rot and pretend to be Jack Sparrow, lol. The PC version has some more costumes I think and theres also the fan work to remaster the pc version too.
At least they ported remakes. Unlike Silent Hill where you either need to go full jolly Roger or dig up a playstation.
Gabe is right. Just make your service better than whatever pirates offer, and you'll not have to deal with pirating.
Actually, there is a pc port too but it never left Japan. The same people who fan remasted RE also did SH2 as well and it looks so nice.
The Forest is a great atmospheric survival horror game.
For me nothing beat Silent Hill on PSP version. I even read the wallthrough while playing the game
I’d try Iron Lung! It’s a super simple and low bit game with a great atmosphere and premise. If you have a fear of deep oceans or tights spaces you will have a great time.
