This game doesn't deserve the praise it gets.

Guys be honest with me. When was the last time we got a PROPER horror game that doesn't hit you with the "Thing Jumps in your Face", "Loud Screamer", "Sudden Stinger" and all the cliche video game horror tropes. Games like Visage are just another cheap horror fest that is fun at first but gets old quickly. And much more stale on repeated walkthroughs.

Games have seem to lost their sense of build up, tension and so on.
Something like Amnesia perfectly hits the nail on that.

I'm also extremely p!ssed that this cheap scare fest has the balls to have a Silent Hill 4:The Room reference in it. Ya know? A reference to a game that is much better in the sense of actual horror than this bloody game.

Trust me, Kids.If you have played P.T, Outlast, Slender or any other of that crap. Then you have played Visage.
If you want a GOOD horror game that isn't going to hit you with cheap horror then wait for the RE2 REmake to hit. Hopefuly a shining stone amongst the steaming sh!t pile of cheap games that don't know the true meaning of horror.

Everyone have their own opinions on what makes a good horror game, i personally hate jumpscares too, but if you think that Visage is only about jumpscares, then i dont think that you even played it. And to be honest, comparing RE series with Visage is like comparing RE and Amnesia or RE and SOMA, each of them are working with completely different type of horror. Visage, Amnesia and SOMA, maybe even Outlast do have something in common, but RE is completely out of trail (im not sayin its bad, im sayin its different and incomparable to these games).

SOMA for me is a masterpiece. The story is amazing.

I can't even attempt to disect the statements in this post that make no sense. All I will say is that visage is a sigh of relief compared to the waste of space that currently floods the market

That's, like, your opinion, man.

[IntheDark]

RE, a action-horror (aka "shoot all that moves") game, better than Visage?

That says it all. xD

There's nothing to read here but a monthly troll...

[EMUS 181]

RE2 is survival horror....they are not even in the same category KID.... visage is psychological horror.
If yoy say PT is crap then you dont know nothing about horror games.

I am a little disapointed about Visage, or what we can play now. I mean the Idea is great, but how the gameplay was made, is more frustrating or cheap death instead of athmospheric horror.

Of course darkness and Shadows are a great element, but how its used here its mostly cheap.
its often so dark, even when there is a lightsource near that you nearly cannot anything. and in the Basement, yeah i understand the intention, and i like it, but in reality, you can navigate in the darkness by using your hands for navigating around and not always running against black walls.
that the sanity level is rising, is not a bad idea, and games like Amnesia showed that its possible. But in Visage i thought, there would be more than just swiching the light off, and always open or close the doors. Its great for the first time playing, but after a time, and your second or third dead trugh the Girl, it not feels intense anymore, just annoying.
I Played Visage until all the light switches where broken, and then it never felt scary, for me just annoying like work.
and of course its great to tell a story trough the enviroment, but why can i open nearly every drawer, but never find anything interesting. The game have great ideas, but till now, its just a great idea.

Visage was, or lets say, is the hope for a good horror game in this year, but im not sure, the devs would change the cheaping way of trying to scare for the final game.
i really want to love Visage, my wife found it longer time ago, and always asked me about it. So we where happy, that we could play the early access.
I dont have a problem with difficult games, i love dark souls, but they need a good balance and fair gameplay mechanics that feels good. When i played Alien Isolation i was scared like never in a game before, and even at the highest difficulty it never felt unfair and not needed darkness everywhere.
I know, the philosophy of alien isolation is different, but with the Unreal PT i finally could try PT and think, PT had a much better scary athmosphere than Visage. Okay, we dont know what would come after pt.

I will wait for the final release and hope something special will happen to let me love this game.
I really want to

I know that it´s a different kind of game (people will say that it´s a walking simulator and "bla bla bla.."
But... you should try Layers of fear if you want a really immersive narrative and story-telling! I really enjoyed that one because it was surprising at every step I did and very impressive. I know it has no gameplay at all, but for shure you will get a better experience than this "wanna be P.T."

(P.D: I love this game but the way that the controls are set up it´s a pain in the ass and makes it a lot less atmospheric that it should be).

[Wicked Wes]

Observer is another good one. And SOMA

[IHopBorders5]

cant believe he said that and to say re2 which is a different type of horror game is better then this when u can shoot what comes at you when in this ur only option is to run and btw noones scared of a remake that everyone knows then story and what happens

[Shock]

RE2 and Amnesia are Survival Horror games. They include action in the game but this game is just horror, it focuses on scaring you

[Alcatraz]

Resident evil games aren't scary
