Is nightmare worth it?

[Hasmith]

Is it fun?

[Massot]

Yes, it's the best way to play the game.

[BROOD-SkorpioN]

Definitely worth it if you enjoy a good challenge.

If you beat it on a higher difficulty than normal, Nightmare is the only way to replay it. No map, unstable scanner - but it still will point you in the right direction, minimal supplies, tougher Joes & humans, no health bar. It'll be tense all over again and likely a bit more so

Not exactly fun, but an enjoyable extra level of challenge for those who already know the game well. You'll spend far less time crafting due to the scarcity of items, which is kind of liberating. Fewer distractions, more tension.

Personally I like to use the "Unpredictable Alien" mod on higher difficulties or the game tends to become less enjoyable and less scary for me..

There's a fine line between challenging and frustrating. My experience of nightmare so far has been frustrating, but I find hard alot of fun.

Not good for a first playthrough, but tons of fun otherwise.

Wonderful

I finished this game over 10x. Did all difficulties, have all achievements except get killed 100 times, not cheating with it, Im just good and love this game.

This is my opinion about game difficulties:

Nightmare difficulty has Hidden HP and no crafting components, meh, stupidly difficult, no fun at all, no crafting, nothing.

On hard or nightmare the alien is always around you in a very tight, small perimeter in order to find you, its unrealistic and annoying, it never leaves your side.

But on normal difficulty, it walks around, and eventually goes to other places and rooms, etc. I find it much better and realistic, thats why I think its the best game difficulty.

Easy & very easy is too easy though :p

If we could mod the game, the best experience would be HARD difficulty with the stalking distance of NORMAL. But we cant do that unfortunately.

If you need help or me to show you how to play a level just add me and ill stream it to you.

When the game came out there was no nightmare mode, hard mode was the hardest if I recall. I turned the game on hard mode first time around and it was way too easy, Nightmare mode is the only mode worth playing.
