This PS2 classic manifests our deepest fears as flesh, to reveal there is no greater evil than our own imagination. Silent Hill, as a franchise, is home to some of the most frightening enemies and situations in gaming history, but the series' most abiding horror is Silent Hill 2. Though the sequel pulled back on the scares somewhat in favor of cinematic action, the original remains trapped in our nightmares. So much of the disturbing atmosphere is built on what you hear, and the amazing sound design uses audio to fashion an entire deadly world around Isaac. Isaac is short on ammo, he rarely knows what's going on in the continually shifting story, and he's most in danger of what he cant see. Soon Isaac finds out the ship isn't as empty as it seems, as a strange alien artifact has transformed everyone on board into hideous, flesh-eating creatures, each more horrific than the last.ĭead Space crafts a horrifying experience by limiting the player. Borrowing from Alien and other sci-fi classics, the 2008 release put players in the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer trapped on a derelict spacecraft. If Resident Evil is the king of survival action-horror, then Dead Space aimed to be the pretender to the throne, bringing together Capcom's early dread and latter-day over-the-shoulder shooting into one gory package. The monster encounters can be horrific and stressful but it's the space between where the story expands, and twists and turns that really sells it. Whether you're a fan of the Amnesia franchise or not there's a real page-turning, 'must-see what happens' feel to the adventure. Tasi goes on a journey and there's a strong draw to following her to see where it all goes and what it means. There are some great puzzles, horrible monsters but it's that narrative that binds it all together. Familiar mechanics like failing sanity, eroded by the dark or looking at monsters, returns but this time contained within a much more coherent and enticing story. There's almost a literary feel to the game as you explore the darkness as Tasi, a French explorer lost in the desert.
When i play horror games i get cold series#
Building on the themes of memory loss, pursuing monsters, and otherworldly magic, Amnesia: Rebirth builds on the previous games in the series to deliver a tense, playable slice of horror fiction.
