A game that gave me P.T.-SD

I must admit that it took me a year to mentally prepare myself for Visage. After its full release, I was terrified because I no longer had the ”unfinished game” -excuse. I am not the biggest wimp when it comes to horror games but there’s something genuinely hair-raising about Visage which makes me not want to play it – but I find myself coming back for more. It’s like a love-hate relationship. Why am I doing this to myself and why can’t I stop? I literally run through the house while talking to myself to maintain my sanity (in real life, not in the game lol) because I’m afraid that if I stop moving, the shadows will consume me. Visage might as well be the scariest game I’ve ever played.

This game is as difficult as the developers claim it to be mostly due to the disjointed puzzles and resource management, and you might often need the help of a guide. With four chapters to play through, I’d say this is quite a lengthy horror experience with many creative ideas and engaging gameplay. The unpredictability of the enemies and the omnipresent darkness will make your imagination go wild, but the constant deaths and difficulty in finding more resources while preventing the main character from going nuts might be off-putting. Occasionally, I was more worried about my progress and running out of lighters and pills than the ghost itself. So I ended up running from point A to point B as quickly as possible to keep my sanity at bay.

I just can’t stop thinking about this game; even my anxiety about the upcoming exams pale in comparison thanks to Visage. So if you want a way to cope with real life, play this. You won’t be scared of anything after this experience.

Haunting atmos-fear like in the first one

What are all these negative reviews for? Being titled with ’Amnesia’ doesn’t make it a bad game despite not following exactly the same pattern as the first one. It’s the expectations people have. Having played the first game, I still liked Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Frictional Games (or well, Chinese Room that developed it) truly knows how to trigger terror in players.

I understand that the sequel has many ups and downs but so do many games – there’s always something to complain about even in the most polished games. I don’t want to give negative feedback just to give an image of a critical review. For example, the elimination of the inventory, sanity and oil system didn’t really do good and almost made AMFP into one of those boring walking simulators the market is already bursting with. This is where the story comes into picture. And oh boy, what a dark and horrifying tale it is. If there’s something I truly appreciate in this company’s works is how their focus is on making thought-provoking plots to chew on even after completion.

AMFP might not be as scary and atmospheric as ATDD since it relies heavily on jump scares but it’s worth checking out. Don’t play the game comparing it to the first one, just enjoy it as a separate experience of its own. I think this Amnesia is truly worthwhile.

Unleash your inner creativity!

As an artist myself, I’ve enjoyed Eastshade even though I’m really not into walking simulators. This might be the best one out there so grab it and take a break from those bloody bang-bang-games. At first, I was worried about the fact that I’d get bored since I’m used to the adrenaline rush I get from hiding and running away from monsters, and Eastshade didn’t seem to provide any of those. Despite looking fascinating, I felt like it wasn’t far from a childish utopia. In fact, it was weird to play a game where no one actively tries to harm you (except for the cold weather at night that can kill you). But I’m so glad I bought it! I learned an important lesson: never skip a game because of the first impression.

This game is so pretty and reassuring with its astounding scenery and beautiful background music. Eastshade supports free open-world exploration, boundless creativity while painting, intriguing secrets to find and a story worth experiencing. I've had my breath taken away many times just by the nature itself – after playing so many horror games I've even forgotten the meaning of beauty.

There are a few downsides though: the tasks might get a bit repetitive after a while as they mostly consist of collecting items, and the voice acting is pretty awkward with relatively few dialogue options. And I should add that the game has frozen many times but I save frequently in case that I get thrown out. Not flawless but definitely amazing - you are going to have so much fun with Eastshade if you are looking for a calm, slow-paced and creative experience!

A game doing justice to the movie

Bloober Team is known for their story-rich, unique horror games that are meant to terrify you in many unconventional ways. To me, it seems like they tried to launch a more conventional survival horror game and stepped out of their craftsmanship. Blair Witch isn’t groundbreaking in its execution or idea but it definitely has potential. The truth is that the entirety of this game isn’t as great as it seems, just like the reviews say - and I started it with high hopes. But it doesn't deserve all the hate either because the more you play, the better it gets. The price could be a couple of euros lower to match its quality better but I understand that developing games is costly.

Blair Witch introduces some nice mechanics such as the walkie-talkie and the multipurpose camera, the story is on point and the forest feels unwelcoming as intended. Plus, Bullet is such a lovely dog! Some of the game’s weaknesses can be forgiven because of a few genuinely creepy moments and the mind-blowing way it deals with mental illnesses. The encounters with the monsters are adrenaline-pumping since you must either defend yourself with your flashlight or evade them.

But overall, is it that scary? Maybe not. Personally, I expected a bit more. Is it worth playing? Depends on your preference; some people might find this bland, others can be scared mindless. It’s hard to tell unless you try! I enjoyed it.

Child you would be creeped out...

I bought Little Nightmares on sale, which mostly happened on a whim. I'm very picky when it comes to video games. Little Nightmares is a nice game but it gets more annoying than scary. The controls are sloppy which leads to frustrating deaths. Part of this is because of my incapability to control the character and struggles with camera angles so the experience might be different for those with a controller. I tend to be quite observant but still got stuck because I never happened to look into the right place - so a lot of trial and error gameplay here...

When talking about the good stuff, Little Nightmares is matchless in its uniqueness, like a fresh breeze in the horror genre that truly stands out. The developers clearly thought outside the box and I appreciate that. With many creepy elements and incredibly tense moments, I’d say this is a solid horror experience. Nothing that deprives you of your beauty sleep, but rather something that slowly creeps its way under your skin, especially the ending.

This game might look innocent and monsters cute but don't let it fool you... Despite not being exactly my type of game, I think this is very worth experiencing as I like the idea of being a small child in a world of huge monsters. However, I have to warn you that if you're a keyboard and mouse user like me, you'll rage-quit pretty often. I don't want you to base your purchase decision on my review, but I can recommend this only if you have a controller.

Terry-fying journey under the waves

The concept of SOMA is very interesting as it takes you to the depths of the isolated Atlantic ocean where you will meet all kinds of strange and hostile entities. Having seen many positive reviews of this game, I decided to give it a try without much thought beforehand. After many successful releases, Frictional Games brings yet another masterpiece to the market. The gripping story alone makes me want to keep on, discover the dark mysteries of the beautifully executed game world and face many existential questions. I used to think that SOMA was overrated but once I got in, I've got to acknowledge its potential. It has one of the best stories ever told and provides some food for thought.

It's said that the enemy encounters are not its forte, but I personally think that if not for them, SOMA would've been just another walking simulator. Everything in the game is amazing, maybe the monsters being just "good" makes them stand out. Every enemy requires a different approach and if the pressure is too much to handle, you can choose to play in safe mode. It should also be noted that this game doesn't hold your hand at all. As a non-native English speaker, I occasionally found myself a bit stuck.

SOMA is fear-inducing, and stressful, definitely requires you to use your wits to survive. I've never been this reluctant to play a horror game which is a testament to its nerve-racking atmosphere, although I have enjoyed the game's many good spooks. I can't recommend this masterpiece enough - just buy it, okay? Not only will you get a heart attack but you will also fall into an existential crisis. Oh, and don't forget a tissue; you'll need it at the end.

”Kill or not to kill, that’s the question”

Red Dead Redemption 2 will test your faith in yourself and put you in the shoes of Arthur Morgan, a cowboy more fit for gunslinging than anything else. Alongside with other gang members you have to steal, fight and kill your way through the struggles. The game astonishes with its unbelievably realistic graphics and introduces a big open world with a variety of sceneries free for the player to explore at their own pace. RDR2 is an incomparable tour de force of the most skilled programmers and computer techonolgy so far down to the tiniest details of which you have only seen half after a single playthrough. The best thing is that it seems endless – there’s always something to do but it might be difficult to get into the game first.

Plot

You will be thrown into American Old West in 1899. Van der Linde gang where Arthur belongs to must fight their way through the merciless lands while avoiding the law and other gangs. Arthur will either choose to stay on the ”good” side to maintain high honor or descent into notoriety and have its benefits. But as an outlaw, he’ll be forced to bloody actions and get the lawmen after him. With a big bounty on his head, he must use his wits to evade the enemies tailing him. Rockstar wanted to make the experience as realistic as possible so being an outlaw in a world where everyone wants you dead is tough life.

Gameplay

Red Dead Redemption 2 has so much to offer in terms of gameplay. There’s a lot to digest on the early stage of the game when you are being introduced to new and complex mechanics that take a lot of time to master. Once you have passed the tough start, you’ll start enjoying the game more. There are no difficulty levels to choose from but you can always challenge yourself by changing your settings.

Keep in mind that this game won’t hold your hand, and similar to Rockstar’s other games, you’ll be punished for dying, and doing stupid things like taking down a town full of people will have consequences. NPCs aren’t idiotic either and some will even attack if you get too close – a small robbery and you might have a hostile gang after you.

You can interact with nearly everything in your environment, collect plants, hunt animals, fish, chat and play with people and so on. Most of the time you’re free to do whatever you want (like riding in the nature, buying or selling things, and robbing people) but if you are willing to progress in the story, you’ll have to complete missions that are marked on your map. You can also take on side missions from strangers to dig further into the story and get more out of it. Arthur and his horse also have some needs – health, stamina (and dead eye) - to take care of and neglecting these affects their performance.

As for me, I feel like stepping out of my comfort zone since I’m not into whatever-person shooters and really suck at aiming. That’s why it’s very hard for me, sometimes even frustrating. Once I attacked a guy with robbery in my mind but got ambushed by his gang that had been hiding in the bushes almost immediately. Instead of fighting, I just ran and screamed like a chicken. It was scarier than any horror game for me, and after that incident, I didn't touch the game again for a while. But those who have played these type of games before should not face any difficulties, probably vice versa. Enabling dead eye makes it easier to eliminate multiple enemies at a time.

Verdict

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece, no wonder it’s so popular. And it practically deserves all the attention it’s getting. I really love the game and would recommend it to almost anybody without hesitation (I haven’t tried the first one though). Objectively it’s a perfect game with almost no flaws, but subjectively I haven't enjoyed playing it that much. Despite the high price, Red Dead Redemption 2 won’t leave you disappointed and will definitely pay you back, I promise.

Welcome to the "Nopeland"

Being ten years old now, Amnesia: The Dark Descent is still praised for being one of the scariest horror games ever, and I agree despite my first skeptical approach. This classic manages to provide something that most horror games can't. It's not creepy when you watch videos of it but things get butt-clenchingly tense if you give it a try yourself.

What makes the game so scary then? Well, I'm not a wimp but the spooky atmosphere was enough for me to barricade the door, hide in one room for ten minutes, too afraid to come out. Amnesia doesn't throw monsters at you every five seconds, it doesn't rely on jump scares either: its scariness lies on its wonderful sound effects and music. The biggest stress source was the limited resources - sanity, oil, and tinderboxes. Using these wisely while avoiding enemies and solving puzzles isn't a piece of cake, I say.

But unfortunately, the game has some minor flaws to it. Take the monsters. I know Frictional Games was the first one to realize that the less you see, the more you fear. This idea works pretty well from the start when the player has no notion of what monstrous entities lurk around the corner while hearing menacing growls bouncing off the walls. But when you do encounter one, it feels absolutely terrifying until the point of your first death. Then you realize that no progress is lost and the monster will just despawn (in most occasions) reducing the fear factor. Though, I understand the developers did that to avoid frustration. And the game's still scary as hell, survival horror in every sense of the word. Go on and play it!

Ready, Set, Act

I wasn’t going to give Layers of fear another chance because the first game was a bit boring. But I’m glad I did. Even though many people don’t like the sequel that much, I’d say this is even better. The atmosphere was indeed more memorable in the first one, but the second surpassed it in terms of many other aspects such as graphics, setting, length, and scares (more traditional and effective).

I get it why people are fond of the first one but it wasn’t exactly to my taste. No horror game is actually scary if you know you can’t die in it. The first game numbed me early on – on the contrary, Layers of fear 2 managed to keep me on edge the entire time. It was more than just opening every drawer or door, and the interactive objects were more various. When you know that death is a real possibility, you become much more wary of your movements and jump at the slightest noise.

On top of that, the cramped environment left me struggling with claustrophobia since no one can tell when the monster appears. The good thing is that the second game still retained the elements typical of this series but making it more unique and spooky. The story was lost in ambiguity despite the fact that it was good. Anyway, I really love this one!

Your life's best Bible education

Outlast 2 is definitely one of the best and most unsettling horror games ever created. Some people make it clear that the first game is better but I’d claim that this is a successful sequel to the loved Outlast series. The first game, the first impact, you know? It is true that you won’t probably find anything new here if you’ve played Outlast before, but so what? It’s an Outlast game. So it naturally uses similar mechanics but has improved graphics, smoother controls (apart from the stamina system that is horrible and unrealistic), smarter enemies, and widely differing environments that will make you utterly confused since it's harder to find a way out.

In my opinion, Outlast 2 did some things better than the first one, for example the inclusion of bandages, and the enlargement of camera functions, making the gameplay more realistic and difficult - all in all, I think they are equal. Obviously, Outlast 1 has some iconic characters and a better atmosphere but the developers clearly put a lot of effort into the sequel knowing the stakes were high. And I think they did a good job. Red Barrels didn’t aim to create a game identical to the first two, which is understandable and doesn’t make this one any less good. And please, don’t be annoyed by Blake’s constant speech, it’s supposed to guide you and doesn't break the immersion. I actually felt more connected to him than to the previous silent protagonists. I find it rather comforting. This game is a must-play for survival horror fans, truly a classic providing new challenges...
