Evan from Bit Cultures writes: "Outlast is an excellent indie horror/thriller by Red Barrels Studio that combines true horror with a horrifying atmosphere to create one of the best survivor horror experiences I’ve had to date. For $14.99 (or free on PlayStation plus), you’re served up a fairly lengthy experience (for the horror genre, anyway) that delivers some of the best scares of the decade. With realistic visuals and disturbing enemies to boot, Outlast is well worth your time and money – and most deserving of its upcoming sequel."
The Xbox One is full of SPOOKS, and that's all you should know about. Here is a list of the best horror games on the system.
A lot of my favourites are on this list so I whole heartedly approve.
Everything except The Observer. It started out really interesting but quickly unraveled into a train wreck. Including frustratingly dull dives into mind sequences, They neutered the monster with boring on rail stealth sequences and a laughably obvious and cringeworthy ending. Mix in bugs and some wonky controls to boot.
I had really strong impressions with it to start but ended up absolutely hating it.
I got 2-3hrs in and couldn't take it anymore, the constant need to switch between the 3 visions just became so annoying and honestly just unnecessary.
I actually agree. At first I thought it was a great idea because the game wasn't holding your hand with the Detective work but it was so unintuitive too. It became a sequence of staring at everything for long enough in 3 different vision modes just to see what stuck.
Soma would be more existential horror than anything but I'll be damned if it didn't have one of the best stories in game that I've experienced. Blew my mind.
The spooky season is at last upon us, making the next couple of weeks the perfect time for a healthy helping of horror. There's no shortage of options out there, so here are a few suggestions to get the ball rolling!
I remember the suffering and it was descent game. I always wanted to play Crimson but never got to it.
But honestly, I’ve never played a game that really scared me, like some movies from the past have.
I remember The Suffering 1 and 2. I haven't thought about those games in years. I still remember some parts of the level in the prison where a guy was sucked through a vent screaming. I don't know why that's stuck with me all of these years.
Outlast, the classic horror game from former Ubisoft developers Red Barrels, has a new speedrun world record, as SGDQ begins its 2022 livestream
This was one of the first games I played on my PS4 thanks to the free monthly games. It made up the cost in replacing my pants (Underpants if you're from the US).
Picked this game up on steam today. Gonna be ****ting bricks soon...
Its a good game for the cost. I've had the game forever now and even back then, I didn't pay much for it. I love when your wondering around in complete darness outside and then the ligtning starts happening. It's great.
