That P.T. demo is still the most I've been unnerved from a game, ever.
Dead Space being listed here makes me cry, have standards people.
It's like mentioning Paper Mario Sticker Star in a "best rpg game" thread.
Zero Punctuation said it best: an action game that ate marinara sauce too quickly.
Father and brother both, though I don't really know or want to get into the specifics of 'rape versus molestation'.Wait, gang rape? I thought it was just her dad molesting her represented in that monster.
Definitely Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the Silent Hill games don't even come close―didn't find them scary at all.
The Penumbra series had its moments as well, but Amnesia executed those ideas in a much better way.
It's there, friend. Absolutely.
It took me until my 3rd playthrough of the game for me to discover it, long after I was cocky enough to think "I know everything about this game" and it made me jump out in absolute terror.
The game is sheer genius. It's my favorite work of art and the fact it was created by human hands is... it empowers me, man
I started a voting thread, so let's find out, shall we?
It might be Silent Hill 2 if no one else votes, lol.
Still the king:
To be fair, this guy did:This. Nothing tops the first Fatal Frame when it comes to sheer horror and scaring you shitless. Fatal Frame 2 is also one of the best horror games ever and belongs in every horror game top 5, shame that no one gave either the shoutout on the first page they deserve.
Though he went by the Japanese name and the sequel instead of the first one.Project Zero II
Fuck Japanese ghosts. Some frightning backstory to the ghosts themselves and some great scary, atmospheric moments overall.
What happened to good Japanese horror films and games? A genuine question. Is it just a matter of me not looking in the right places? It feels like early 2000s - 2010 there are a ton of great examples from, but not a lot beyond that.
The best horror movies tend to have little gore (or at least subdued gore), and often more concerned with creating atmospheres of dread and unease rather than scaring you with jump scares.I don't like "horror games". I think its bullshit just like "horror movies". There's no horror movies, most are comedies with gore. Let's agree on "thrillers". That's all this should all be called.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica.
In my opinion, this was the perfect blend of horror, classic RE cheesiness, and difficulty. The characters were enjoyable, and the music really added to the atmosphere as a whole.
Oh....and these bastards...
