Horror Games !!

[FagglesMcGee]

Anyone here a fan of horror games? I've been on a kick recently, playing and finishing Outlast 1&2. Finally getting around to Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Once TDD is done, I'll be knocking out A Machine for Pigs next. Anyone got any good recommendations or great experiences or stories playing horror titles?

Amnesia is good, heard the sequel was ass though.

The Penumbra series is supposed to be good, made by the same developer as Amnesia.

Cry of Fear is decent, pretty sure it’s a mod for Half Life or something, very Silent Hill-ish.

Layers of fear is pretty good, it's very similar to Outlast though.

Condemned and Condemned: Bloodshot are both worth a play.

Siren: Blood Curse, White Day: A Labyrinth Named School(not the remake) and the Fatal Frame series are good if you prefer Asian horror.

I’ve heard Alien: Isolation is good, never played it though.

I've been meaning to play this. Got it for free for having an Xbox Live subscription.

Update: Outlast 1 and 2 are fantastic games. I haven't played Outlast Trials yet.
SOMA is a wonderful game about existentialism. It's okay if you feel some type of way about the ending
Amnesia TDD was fantastic.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs was good too, though less impactful.
Amnesia: Rebirth was fantastic with its multiple endings and reality hopping story
Amnesia: The Bunker only picked up exactly where it ended and could've been better
Alien: Isolation should've been way longer, but fantastic nonetheless.
Layers of Fear was wonderful with multiple endings, even though it could've been a little longer.
The Penumbra series was created by the same people that made Amnesia. I haven't finished them, but I assume they're good.
Scorn would've been better off a movie using the Unreal 5 Engine, and should've pushed UE5 as a movie industry powerhouse.
Iron Lung was a fun indie game full of surprises, but it's not for people who can't use their imagination.
Squirrel Stapler is another fun one. My wife is beautiful and I will have no slander against her.

EDIT: I blindly replied to this thread, and only realized I covered pretty much every game mentioned in this thread after the fact. I don't deserve a pat on the back. Just wanted to acknowledge I pretty much touched on the games worth mentioning since I stopped posting in 2018

Resident Evil 7 and 8 are also phenomenal games. Talk about a great transition from 3rd to 1st person perspective. The games take themselves somewhat seriously and bring their tangents back around to the OG storyline. I'm not spoiling, just making it clear why they're good and how they're relevant.

I enjoy some horror games like the RE series.

Check out these horror games coming out.

I'd like a lot of these to be decent games. Call me cynical, but I think most of them are going to be tech demos using that "Unrecord" FPS style realism to grab everyone's attention, and leave people disappointed at launch. I'm excited for the Dead Rising Remake, though. Loved the first and second games. They're the few Capcom games I've actually enjoyed since Mega Man X on the SNES.

I love the Mega Man series. Said many a curse word playing them though. That game no matter what console you play it on can be a real bitch. lol

You might like Doom 3, Fag.

I wish I'd seen this. I fuckin' love DOOM 3. Bought a copy of it for PC on launch day, even though I had no idea what minimum required specs were, and played that shit on the lowest settings on some HP Desktop from Circuit City in 2003. Hella nostalgia for that.

Despite DOOM 3 and DOOM 64 being my intro to the series, I religiously play DOOM 2 because the community is autistic for constantly pumping out mapset after mapset with some novelty story or idea that carries for 32 straight maps. It's gotten to a point where I have a Google Doc with every WAD I've played is in the hundreds at this point accompanied by a small review by yours truly. I'm currently playing a mapset dedicated to a guy who was a legend back in the day and died in 2015. It's called THT: Threnody.

Also, nice relevant name given 2016 had a demon powerup for a Prowler. Bastard was ruthless if you knew how to play them.
