Joe from GamersFTW writes: It’s been three years since Outlast came along, put us in a mountain-based asylum, gave us nothing but a notebook and a video camera with night vision, and proceeded to let us redecorate our gaming chairs with colourful splashes of brown and yellow as it terrified us beyond belief. It was a very strong debut from developer Red Barrels, and now it seems that with a sequel in the works you might want to start investing in some heavy duty stain remover because we can expect some terrifying things to come our way.
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
Played the first one and the expansion, both scared the crap out of me, and that was without me knowing that they were inspired by true events. Now I'm scared to even try out Outlast 2!
I must get round to finishing the first one! Good creepy horror game, I really enjoyed it but unfortunately I left it for a while and other games pushed it aside. Concept for the second one sounds pretty interesting!
To be honest I havent played the first one and that is mainly down to the fact I am a massive chicken! I have almost watched it from start to finish online however cant bring myself to play it... so I doubt Ill get round to this one either!!!
Outlast is and always will be the best game I've ever played, that is unless Outlast 2 manages to be as good! I didn't know the story was based on reality though, that makes it even more scary!
Hopefully this comes to PSVR.
