Spyro Reignited Trilogy + Layers of Fear(2023) + Stray - $49.97

I would appreciate recommendations for the best option based on the quality of the games and the amount of content for the price.

I would get Silent Hill 2 + Outlast trials only.

That will be slightly over 60, but worth it imo.

Interesting. Silent hill is one of my top choices, but Outlast would be my bottom choice. I love the first two Outlast games, but trials seems more catered towards multi player, and I much prefer single player. How well would you say the single player mode in trails plays?

I played Silent hill 2 remake, and trust me when i say it was AMAZING. It was my personal game of the year, as for outlast trials in my 550+ hours i never played solo, so i would only recommend it for a multiplayer horror experience. But then again there are ppl who play it solo.

But you are clearly looking for a SP experience, so i would go for SH2 personally.

Silent Hill 2 I nominated for game of the year in steam, it won at the Horror Game Awards 2024, it's that remake like Resident Evil 4 that was needed, take it, you definitely won't regret it. It's not as short as Alone in the Dark Remake. SH2 is the most well so popular game in the series, because for example my friend passed before its release all the other parts, but there they were already carried a little bit wrong. By the way, Silent Hill F was announced recently.

Layers of Fear. You have already played it and you know that it can be boring. As far as I remember there is a story of a writer and an artist. Its peculiarity is that the environment changes every time; the doors go back and forth. But it's just a Remake, which for example didn't give something revolutionary like Alan Wake 2. AW2 has a convoluted story, although the whole plot is actually sorted out in 15 minutes. But AW 2 made more sense than Layers Fear.

Outlast Trials. I knew a player who played very much solo (he had over 400 hours). I played more with random players on the contrary, now I also play with a friend, there are other players.
Now there is no custom mode to select variators, so for today's solo will be the following:
- 7 long trials on 4 difficulties;
- Escalation, where there are more than 20 short trials and you will need time to learn them and for example to set a record for yourself (you need many hours in a row); Each playthrough of Escalation is unique in its own way due to the different variators and random alternation of trials in their first unique appearance.
- Weekly trials where there are 2-3 long trials and the rest short trials with some one variators;
- the release of reagents (to see the different endings) and learn how to pass spectacularly.
- opening catalogs, improving recipes, amphs, rigs and reaching up to 75 lvl;
You will enjoy the game, the immersion is there, the memories, the voice acting of the enemies.
If you're on the Outlast Trials forum, it would be a shame not to buy it:) If you want replayability, it's Trials, if you want more horror, for this there are old parts of Oulast and Outlast 2.
