Paste: "Outlast represents something of a departure, though. Like Amnesia: The Dark Descent—which Morin cites as an influence—there is no combat in Outlast. You play Miles Upshur, a journalist tasked with exploring the appropriately creepy Mount Massive Asylum, armed only with a videocamera. Naturally, horrors await within, and events will inevitably conspire to trap you inside with them. Miles’ videocamera substitutes for Amnesia’s lanterns here; using its night-vision mode is the only way to see in the dark, and scrounging batteries is essential. Like many horror texts, Outlast makes no secret of playing with our ingrained fear of the dark."
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.
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.
Outlast, the classic horror game from former Ubisoft developers Red Barrels, has a new speedrun world record, as SGDQ begins its 2022 livestream
