BY ANNA CRAWFORD: 2018 looked to be a promising year for horror video games. After a pretty stellar 2017, the new year looked like it’d be packed full of good scares, terrors and general unsettling atmospheres. Unfortunately, promising doesn’t always translate into good and most horror fans have been let down.
As the Halloween season approaches, or settles in for some, the disappointment is beginning to sting more than usual. So, to combat the bad buy blues, we’ve compiled a small list of recommendations to replace your disappointment with titles that will rejuvenate your love of the horror genre at a time when it should be at its strongest.
During this year’s Summer Showcase, Gamepires revealed that the studio’s prison riot survival game, SCUM, will launch out of early access on June 17. Visit www.gamesradar.com/scum-giveaw ay-fgs to enter a giveaway for one of 100 keys for Scum 1.0.
Alien Isolation Grand Mother VR is an all new virtual reality experience for Creative Assembly’s best ever horror game.
I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.
Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.
Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.
It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!
"The Cambridge-based (the UK) video games publisher and developer Jagex and Zagreb-based (Croatia) indie games developer Gamepires, today announced with great joy and excitement that they have just released the 0.96 ("Fame Seekers") update for their multiplayer open-world survival game “SCUM“ (the said update is available right now for PC via Steam Early Access)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
This is a poorly written article. I only disagree about one game on the list but the writing is horrendous and the information obvious.
