How scarry is this game?
Hey, im looking for a new good horror game. I loved the thrill in the "the evil within" titles and s%%%% my pants in death space (:steammocking:), but what i ve seen so far from this game, it doesnt look too crazy. More like a spooky novel - if u know what i mean.

Could you give me some opinions please? Ty

Don’t expect a typical TikTok horror game with lazy jump scares every five seconds. This is psychological horror—it builds tension, making you nervous and anxious, especially if you’re using good noise-canceling headphones. The scares are progressive, gradually building throughout the entire game.
But don’t worry, there are enough jump scares here and there to keep you on edge.

This game is all about soundeffects, atmosphere and psychological horror - and it does that very damn good.

It's comparable to Alien Isolation to a degree.

the scariest thing about this game by far is definitely talking to people about it online. sh2 is pretty cozy, actually. like a nice pillow over your face.

Silent hill is a series that before it went downhill more based on oppressive atmospheres and feelings of discomfort as well as sound design being used to make you feel unsettled and uncomfortable. The monsters aren't traditionally scary in the aspect of in your face horror but more scary based on implications and unnatural movements and appearances. Ifs not a slasher thriller or a jumpscare simulator. It's a very oppressive and harsh feeling game that often scares you from how it makes you FEEL

I don't know what the people above are blathering about. Perhaps it's because this is my first game in the series and I'm only getting to know it right now. In any case, the atmosphere is quite entertaining and intense but I wouldn't call this game scary.
The main tool of this production in scaring is quite primitive jump scares - sometimes a monster will jump out from behind a corner, sometimes it will crawl out from under a cabinet.
Other than that, atmospheric locations and tropes like fog, darkness, flashlight.

I jumped up in my seat a few times but it was more out of surprise than horror.

Amazing atmosphere, impressive graphics, few jump scare here and there. Nothing too scary but they nailed the atmosphere for sure.
Not scary at all but it’s nice looking :neko_evil:

Its the only "scary" Game on the Market to be true.
Its Not a cheap JumpScare Trash of Scary or the Action Horror of a "RE" or "the evil within"

This one is a true Horror Game.
Compare it with Movies.
SH2 is "Hereditary" and all the other Horror Games are more like a stupid slasher (Halloween) Kind of Horror

It's like the latest Resident Evil games which are all generic soulless cringe worthy shooters btw, don't expect much horror if any at all lol, it's action, Silent Hill 4 The Room was horror, Silent Hill 2 not really... expecially the Remake.
