Horror video games

Not a straight up horror game per say but a plague tale is very tense and creepy at times,would definitely recommend it and I'm a person who was wary of a game having an extra character always at your side to watch over,it actually adds to the scares and dread

Not technically a horror game, but Dying Light - the night time sections instilled geniune fear in me, you'll know why when it happens.

Unless you're living in the zombie apocalypse I'm fine with you including dying light as a horror game
I pretended I didn't like the game because of the night time sections

sweetie

If System Shock and Bioshock are on the list then Prey should be too.

Ah, its more of a first person melee action game, theres not that many jump scares if you stick to going out by day.

night time though, lord jebus! :eek:

I'm going to dip into Days Gone again and give Challenge Mode a shot. I will try to give The Last of Us a play again. I'll be on the spirits playing that as I will need spirits to help me get through it.

I actually played the 2nd one first so when I tried to play the first one I just couldn't get over the gameplay

I couldn't get over the gameplay the first time I played it. At release I thought it was sub par and felt like a relic with some awful enemy AI.

I think I'm going to finally play Outlast this year. Bought it last year, intending to play it at Halloween and never did. This year for sure!

Never forget

I have a hankering to play some crappy fmv game like Phantasmagoria over the Halloween, hopefully gog have a decent sale this year.
Evil within 1 has been knocking around for a bit too, I'm about halfway through but it keeps falling by the wayside the last few months

I'd recommend harvester. One of my faves.

I got about 70% through Evil Within 1 and dropped it.

Started SOMA recently but a glitch early on prevented me from progressing and put me off it for a while. Someone claiming to be one of the VAs in the game tuned in to me streaming trying to help but also mentioned some massive spoilers

Someone online recreated P.T in VR, that sounds like something to try.

Played INSIDE last night, it's proper creepy - very tense throughout, kinda spoiled by the insta-deaths though.

Epic Games Store is giving away Observer & Alan Wake's American Nightmare this week, so 2 horror games for €0.00.

Cheers man!
I kept meaning to play Observer on gamer pass and they took it down the other day! thought it would last to the end of the month. Might as well pick it up there.

I played Silent Hill 1 and 2 over the Halloween to really get me in the spirit of the season. It was just such a fantastic series.

Speaking of which if anyones interested, I'm running a Silent Hill themed game of Werewolf over on the Forum Games forum starting on November 24th. Anyone who likes Silent Hill and is interested in trying out this here werewolf game that all of Boards.ie has been talking about, should check it out :pac:

Same as in my sig below

Soma was great, if you like existential horror. There are monsters in it but that's not really where the horror comes from. I think they even released an update that made the monsters non-hostile.

Been playing 'The Beast Inside'


Beautiful game. Great tension. Some really good scares. Particularly chapter six.

I enjoyed the monster sections too though, it's great how you can't look at them or run away, so I'd just be crawling forward with the sound point, praying I'm not eviscerated at any moment until I get around the next corner

Haven't played any of the SH games. But I do have SH2 Enhanced Edition for PC here, I might finally start it up tonight. Anyone on here played through the original and this PC enhanced version? Much difference?

I hope you aren't planning to play the HD remaster which is an absolute disaster and instead are going to play the fan patched original PC release?

If it's the HD remaster, don't bother. They ruined the game.

I hope you do get a chance to play it. It's an incredible game. It's narratively way ahead of any other game I can think of. People talk about the last of us as being some kind of high bar of videogame narrative. It isn't, Silent Hill 2 is.

Phasmophobia looks like it could be spooky co-op craic.

enhanced edition is actually so good it really makes you appreciate how bad the hd remaster is,it just looks so much better.

Haha, yup, its the Fan Made Enhanced Edition I have on my PC. Set it all up a few months back but never played it.
I heard the PS3 remasters are horrendous years back so never went near them.

With those recommendations I'll start it tonight, light the fire, low lighting, perfect lads, thanks!
