OMG Geek writes: Welcome back, gamerfriends! This article may have come to you a bit late, because all this time, I’ve been stuck in strange parallel universes and worlds where up has no meaning. Today, we’re talking about horror and other worlds that exist both inside and outside our thoughts and imaginations. Hang on to your hats. And your sanity scores.

I think the criticisms are completely warranted. I loved clock tower 3. Sure it’s ridiculous, but it was really fun and quite brutal. Haunting ground felt lifeless and repetitive. Wandering around a giant maze (the castle) was a chore and the herb crafting/puzzles were tedious. The backtracking was overkill. Being stuck in that castle was a bad idea and should have only been part of the game. What ends up happening is you get tired of it really quick and it’s just going from room to room to room. Same with silent hill 2 hospital levels. Tedious, yet they are only a level and you continue moving forward in the town. You are exploring and making progress. Haunting doesn’t feel like that at all. Great premise, but i personally think clock tower 3 was way better and more fun and was Short and sweet. Never outstayed it’s welcome. Haunting is ok, just not a masterpiece by any means. It’s really boring. When you dread playing a game because of the level design that’s a problem. It’s a chore.
Just another Capcom title they put out and magically forgotten all about like Clock Tower, Dino Crisis, Breath of Fire. I enjoy this game and play it from time to time it needs a remake or reboot same with Dino Crisis, Clock Tower and Breath of Fire.
I remember playing this game and found it difficult and the controls were not so great. But it’s also creepy and still a pretty good game overall IMO.
Well-loved, obscure, and sometimes just plain weird, there are some hidden gems in the Steam Summer Sale to look into as it winds down.
Old video games can be ridiculously expensive. Rarity is the common theme among the most expensive titles, no matter how unimpressive the game is.
