I’m after game recommendations.
My situation, I used to enjoy gaming but stopped maybe twenty years ago when my PS2 died and I moved abroad. Until last year when I got a steam deck and I’ve been catching up on the good stuff I’ve missed. Played bioshock (great!) and soma (decent), I’m playing prey (think I’m nearly finished, just got to the military operators) and resident evil 7 (just got away from that nasty bint Margheritte).
Most of y wishlist had come from stuff I’ve read on here, so I thought I’d ask - what next?
Back in the day I really enjoyed silent hill (can’t remember which one, would have been early 2000s, the one with the school and hospital). I’m enjoying resident evil 7 - haven’t played any of the others - and I like the atmosphere but most of the scares seem to be jump scares.
Jump scares can be good but I kinda feel like they’re a cheap scare. I’m looking for something more fundamentally upsetting.
No idea why, I can’t watch horror films, I get too frightened! But this seems to be a game genre I enjoy. Any suggestions?
Seconding the Amnesia series. The early games are bit dated, but they’re all spooky atmosphere hands down.
I literally stopped playing because the atmosphere got wayyy too much. Felt like I was hyperventilating just walking around
(Note: The above is my own scaredy pants opinion of the game. Your mileage may vary)
Okay, I’ve just looked these up, are we talking amnesia the dark descent? Yeah that looks right up my street.
Yup, same one. Enjoy! (Hides under blanket)
Now that sounds like a solid recommendation right there! I’ve just bought it, thanks mate.
(It’s safe to come out now)
