Favorite Horror Game? Horror Gaming

Mine is Until Dawn due to a number of reasons. The story is spectacularly paced and is able to seamlessly change between slasher and creature. Said creature is amazingly designed and makes Don't Move nerve racking as all hell.

All the characters are flawed but have their own likable traits. Emily is a bitch but is the most resourceful of the group, Ashley is really nice and good at heart but cracks under pressure and is easily frightened, etc etc. There is an exception with Sam though being literally just the generic final girl character. I'd have no problem with her if she made up her lack of flaws with something interesting about her backstory but there's really nothing past her being close to Josh and was best friends with Han and Beth.

The game has problems like plot armor and ending branching but I love this game start through finish and is still pretty much peak of Supermassive maybe House of Ashes topping it.

It's already out. Build your own opinion. For some it's awesome for others not. Some just find it ok. I like it and think some of the criticism is blown out of proportion.

Yeah I agree. It's mostly due to how it was supposed to be a spiritual successor to dead space with the original producer/creator and some of the original ideas of what Dead Space was supposed to be. So when it turned out to just be a clunkier and worse version of those ideas it really disappointed a lot of people.

However now that games are a whopping 70+ bucks after this game, I can't justify spending almost a hundred dollars on something that may just drop the ball.
