Written by Max Moeller at The Koalition: The horror genre has been the butt of all sorts of experimentation these past few years. Location, tactics, and enemies have all been tampered with where we now have a cheeky little game where you break into your neighbor’s house just for the sake of it. It’s a brilliant thing to witness, and we wouldn’t be where we are today if games like Amnesia and the original Outlast didn’t come in to shake up the formula.
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
I'm not man enough to play this.
Big fan of where they took the sequel. Not sure I can ever go back to the first after how much they improved the gameplay.
This seems like the type of game that I tell myself I'm too tough to be afraid of, and then I end up crying in the corner of my room some where.
Definitely glad to hear that they improved on the first game and will certainly check it out at some point. Any survival horror game when you can't use weapons to get through it is an automatic win in my book.
I wanna buy this but can't find it on either Sony or MS. Where can I find this and is it really coming out tomoro?
