Vanstrom336 said:I tend to avoid horror games unless they are Resident Evil or The Evil Within since Iove their gameplay, but I'm interested in this sale. Especially the Amnesia Collection at only $3. Anyone have any words of praise or criticism for Amnesia? Or recommendations for other games? I generally like (action) horror games where you can actively fight back against the threat.
All horrors produced by Frictional Games - Penumbra (PC only), Amnesia, SOMA, are very very high quality horror games. Those developers put big effort to immerse the player in the game world, greatly increasing the feeling of fear. I love horror games and movies, and yet I can barely play any of these for little more than 1 hour at a time, because my heartrate goes sky high.
Very highly recommended. Resident Evil doesn't come close to these masterpieces in terms of terror.
Oh yeah, you can't fight in these games (except in the 1st Penumbra), the characters are usually the weak type. This increases the horror experience, it's not scary if you can defeat it, hence you can't.
