Self-explanatory, really.

I read the reviews on this game and saw so many negative remarks. I didn’t know what to expect from this game tbh, I love survival horror, love the RE franchise, love the Dead Space franchise, so why not?

I’m about 3 hours into this game and so far I’m REALLY loving it, it’s not as scary as Dead Space in my honest opinion, YET, however I love the creepy horror theme of it. I think this game is definitely worth getting IF you don’t try to compare it so harshly to Dead Space. I know people say the action is repetitive, but I feel like all games can become repetitive later on—-to a certain extent. I dunno, maybe I’m more open minded and less critical when it comes to this genre as it is my favorite style of game. Also, this game looks fantastic, I love when companies pour so much amount of details into games, it really makes them pop.

Over all, I’m pretty curious to know what everyone’s thoughts on The Callisto Protocol is. I think it’s a great addition to the Action/Survival Horror games. Especially as I wait for my Resident Evil : Code Veronica fix, But time will truly tell. What do you think?

I just finished Photomaly and one thing that surprised me was how much I actually enjoyed running the photo studio before anything scary was happening.

Taking the customers' photos, finding the right angle, developing the film and preparing their orders gives you an actual routine to settle into. Then when something strange happens, it feels like it's interrupting a real job rather than just triggering the next scripted horror sequence. Its like the investment in managing the shop immerses you so much that you really feel like youre there and your guard ends up being down.

Do you prefer horror games with a real job/gameplay loop underneath them, or do you want the game focused almost entirely on the horror?

I'll start first: I did not care for Silent Hill F. Call me a purist who only enjoys the first three games (and four to SOME extent, mostly because it's the last title Team Silent has ever made) and refuses to touch everything else in the franchise, but my overall consensus is that I personally think F is NOT a bad survival horror game per se (even if I couldn't stand the Soulslike combat), just not a good Silent Hill game IMHO.

My Dead by Daylight Ghostface mask is the pièce de résistance

So me & my friends are doing a game night at my place but I don't know what to play, but it has to be genuinely terrifying and good for like 4-5 people

All games are in rough order. There are a few games I adore in good that are flawed enough I couldn't justify putting them any higher.

Edit: So many of these comments are "x game isn't horror" and it's really tiring. Horror is subjective. Get over it.

My post got removed from r/silenthill for some reason, so posting here to gain opinions. I am a new horror gamer, and still trying to figure out my boundaries when it comes to games.

in your mind, how scary is silent hill f compared to silent hill 2?

last week, I gathered with some friends to play P.T. (our friend still had it downloaded on his PS4 lmao) and I enjoyed it overall! I've always liked horror but only recently started playing horror games. before this, I have played Detention, Alan Wake 1+2, and Control (not really horror but still spooky imo) other than those I am a complete beginner lmao.

I picked up the silent hill bundle on steam last weekend on sale and am playing through F bc it works on my steam deck. I am loving it so far!

I like it because the horror is not overly disgusting or horrifying, but it's spooky and tense. I like that it's dark in a tasteful way, and that there aren't a ton of jumpscares. I'm about 8 hours in so getting close to the end I think.

I really want to play silent hill 2 after this (probably on PC) but I've heard it's significantly more horrifying. the story looks amazing and I'm really liking the lore and playstyle of the games so far.

has anyone else played the games in this order? is SH2 appropriate for someone new to scares? anything I need to be aware of beforehand? I would love to get into this franchise more!

Tell me ALL and I mean ALL the indie horror games you know THAT DONT HAVE IRL FACES IMPRINTED ON THE CHARACTERS (please this is important I hate it when indie horror games do this, like I'd prefer a game that got two dots for eyes and a smile for the mouth than an ACTUAL IRL face imprinted on the 3d model)

I'D APPRECIATE IT !!

Do check out my game exciting updates are on the way I hope you all will love it.

Hello all, I have recently gone on a binge of various horror games, ones I had heard praises sung of. The 3 I've played in order of favorite to least favorite: Alien: Isolation, Dead Space, Outlast 1 + whistleblower dlc. I loved all 3, and I'm thinking survival horror is probably my preferred subgenre, but granted that's all I've played so could be wrong who knows.

kept seeing news that this is about to drop on ps5/xbox. the trailer showed some pretty creepy stuff, but honestly i don't know much about the game itself. i think i saw it's mainly focused on survival with some shooting mechanics?

for anyone playing on pc right now: does it actually have a good horror vibe? or is it just a generic shooter where the enemies just happen to look weird? the trailer looked okay, but i'm a bit skeptical. let me know if it's actually worth a download for horror fans when it drops.
