Are games ready to take on heavy subject matter such as concentration camps and the holocaust? A recent mod of the classic Wolfenstein 3D does just that, until it comes under fire for insensitivity, and the developer falls back on the “it’s just a game” excuse. Then it becomes just another “fun shooter.”
Of the many horror sub-genres, psychological horror is known for leaving a lasting impression because it plays on the fragility of the human mind.
Absolute embarrassment that all 4 of the first Silent Hill games didn't make the list. 2 is the best one but the other 3 are fantastic as well.
They also included 2 Bloober games and forgot Fatal Frame and PT. 🙄
PT isn't a game. As for the Silent Hill games, clearly they chose the best one for their list. I don't disagree that there are some questionable choices there though.
PT is a game and a better one than most of the games on that list. Just because they gave it away for free doesn't mean it isn't a game.
@Magog - it was a playable teaser. The entire thing could be beaten in like 5 minutes if you knew what to do. That's not a game. Yes, it was fantastic, but it was a glorified demo.
Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3 are all at the top of psychological horror games. I really want a new Silent Hill in the style of the old games, not like P.T.
Doki Doki Literature Club .. Also the definitive GOAT .. Silent Hill 2 also
It's time to get weird. We've rounded up some of the most bizarre DOS games out there.
Point-and-click adventure games were a staple of the early-to-mid 90s PC gaming scene, with some of the more memorable ones being in the horror genre.
I would be way out of mein kampfort zone. Games like this would cause lots of controversy, Anne Frankly I won't stand for it.
