Outlast tells the majority of its story through scattered documents filled with exposition. While Billy Givens found the actual story got progressively sillier than he would have preferred, he enjoyed unraveling it through his own exploration. And really, he enjoyed all of Outlast in general. Despite its few frustrations, it’s a game with absolute attention to detail and execution with everything from cheap scares to horrifying and gritty tension. The reviewer found himself scared until the final moments, and he swore to himself that once was enough – but even so, he's headed back in to the asylum for round two against his best judgment.
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
I'm having lots of fun with this game. Even though I have to take a break every 30 minutes. Can't remember the last time I was so scared by a videogame.
