Today we have a look at if the latest horror games are actually scary, which is the main part of being a horror! The writer's opinion doesn't reflect the overall opinion of VGU.
Release date and expected launch time for when the Fallout 4 next-gen update will come out along with how to download.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "A Difficult Game About Climbing is obviously frustrating, and I don’t exactly think it’s a fun pasttime, but it’s exponentially more enjoyable than the horrendous Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. It’s actually beatable with enough trial and error. Its mechanics, whilst not exactly polished to the brim, work as intended, with no intentional input lag. It’s still clearly meant for Let’s Play youtubers to film themselves losing their minds over it, but it can still be a passable challenge if you’re up for the task."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I loved that New Star GP ended up being nothing like what I was expecting from it. I thought I was going to get a simple and straightforward love letter to Virtua Racing, only for it to be something more akin to the best F1 racing games from the mid to late 90s, with a perfect blend of accessible physics and simulation elements. New Star GP is adorably retro in its visuals and vibes, but it’s got some surprising amount of depth and an interesting career mode. A little hidden gem in the racing scene, without a doubt."
Depends which games you're talking about. Psychological indie games like Amnesia, Slender, SCP-087, Cry Of Fear and Lone Survivor? Absolutely.
Action-horror games that give you tons of ammo, loads of health packs and just the occasional lame jump scare? Not so much.
Latest (not counting spinoff) Fatal frame IV is great and scary, more people should try it... other thing, indies are doing good job
For me it's not that games have become less scary they are pulling the same stops that scared me ages ago when I was younger.
To me it's more the fact I have about seen it all in my life and there isn't anything that seriously surprises me anymore. It's the same concept for movies, you can only watch so many scary movies before you get to a point where no scary movie ever scares you again.
Sadly that is how it for me for movies also, they don't scare me like they used to.. It's not that they have gotten worse, it's just my tolerance has become so high nothing really scares me anymore other than spiders and jelly fish.
