Taking a look at just what makes video games 'scary,' what horror games try to do and how successful they are at doing it. In the first episode, it's Zombie Studios' 'Daylight.'

Seems like a strange time to hold a horror themed flash sale but I’m not complaining
I don’t know there are some great games in that list, unless you mean for you because you already have the ones you think are good? Alien Isolation for 8.99 caught my eyes.
Until Dawn for $5 is a great deal. So are many other offers in that list.
Sorry you couldn't get Far Cry 5 for $10 on this sale or a free copy of Spider Man or God of War.
that's not my point, i still remember better sales from sony, this is kinda the worst.
Great sale. FYI leprechaun HD is only 2.99 on amazon. The movie deals are meh. Game deals are better
"PS4, PS3 and PS Vita digital games are on sale at Amazon. Deals include Battlefield Hardline, Omega Quintet, Need For Speed, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Unravel, The Crew, Tearaway and lots more!"
"It’s the start of autumn; leaves are changing color and falling about, everything is pumpkin spice, and sweater weather is in the air. You know what that means, right? It is time for the Halloween season and the occasion to find each and every outlet for beautiful and twisted scares."--PlayStation Enthusiast
Outlast and Daylight, along with other games, are on sale at the moment on PSN. Just a head's up.
I wish Soma was. I did grab Everybody's Gone to the Rapture for $8 over the weekend though.
outlast is one amazing horror game to play.
it a shame it was not longer.
but for sure worth checking out
what daylight like ?
any good i thought it was only like 2hrs long
Daylight certainly has some tense moments, but ends rather abruptly.. its a bit of a small game compared to Outlast and Soma, not such a good story either.
I'd strongly recommend Soma if you haven't tried it yet
I'm not far into Daylight but I'd say Outlast is better. Still, I think Daylight is less than $4 right now for PS+ members so I'm happy with it.
The game isn't scary at all, seems like the developers tried to hard to make t scary but ended up making it boring instead. The game becomes very repetitive after about 30 to 45min of gameplay, it has a few jump scares but nothing like outlast.
Loved Outlast and wanted to try this but comments and reviews look bad. Ill save my money I think!
If only they hadn't completely messed up the 3D-framerate I could live with its mediocrity.
I was really disappointed with this game. As a long time horror fan, I was really looking forward to playing Daylight. After beating Outlast a couple of times, I was hungry for more, but this game just didn't cut it for me. First of all, the game doesn't run very smoothly. It chugs a lot, has random drops in fps here and there, clipping issues, and lastly, but perhaps the thing that bothered me the most; TERRIBLE audio! The engineer who worked on this, really hasn't done a good job. The audio sounds out of place, and the reverb is all wrong, making it sound like you're in a claustrophobic submarine, when you're actually in a large hall. Not to mention the lines of dialogue that repeats over and over again whenever you hit certain "checkpoints". This game had a lot of potential, but ended up being a boring jump-scare-fest, and worst of all, the jump scares aren't even well done.
It's funny though, that a game running on Unreal Engine 4, manages to look worse than Outlast (which runs on UE3). So it isn't even a good tech demo of what UE4 can do. Unless you are absolutely out of games to play, stay away from this title!
how can rip off of outlast can be scary??
