Excerpt: "Not surprisingly, the asylum houses many unstable patients, most of which willing to rip you limb from limb. With no way to defend yourself from one of these hulking creatures of misfortune, your choices are to run or die. While running, you can press Q or E to look over your shoulder, you know, just to make sure the bone chilling sound footsteps are indeed following you very closely.
Most often you can run, break line of sight, and hide in a locker or under a bed. They’ll do a simple investigation, sweep the area, and then return to their patrol. While systematic, you’re too paralyzed by fear to notice. Make a mistake and hide while they’re watching, and they will find you, and pull you out from where you are and toss you aside, giving you a chance to escape like it’s a game. Stay too close or get cornered, and you’ll be bludgeoned to death or ripped head from body as you watch your final moments bleeding out."
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.
