I want more games like these!!!!

Ever since I beat EW2, I got this craving for psychological horror type survival horror game. There aren't very many games like these out anymore (RIP Dead Space) but luckily I found this game called Prey (the new one)!!

Well, how about Slender Man and the 8 notes? ( I personally just tested the free version and for me it was too stressful to be enjoyable)

Messaggio originale di dprog1995:

Forgot to mention you Eternal Darkness. That game also got a lot of praise.(But unfortunately it only came on Gamecube)

And have you played Silent Hill Shattered memories ?

Brother you are dropping so real old games, games that I am far too old to remember but The short answer is yes. I tend to bounce between console and PC quite a bit, so I have almost all of these games. Save Slender Man because I am not a big fan of run and hide games. RE is probably my limit since I generally prefer to fight back and am partial to 3rd person POV than FP. That being said I do have some room for Soma and that Rutger haur game but thats as far as I go. I tend to frequent to the mainstream AAA games more than obscure indie titles but I do partake in some of them from time to time. So I don't much care for games that pretty much fore stealth and non combat on you.

Shattered memories though, I couldn't keep invested. It simply wasn't the Silent Hill game I was looking for.

Out of curiousity have you played Siren Blood Curse?

Siren ? No just heard the name.

Siren ? No just heard the name.

Its an underrated survival horror game based in Japan. Bunch of high school kids go on a field trip to this village where weird stuff starts happening. Its definitley worth checking out if you can. I think its still availble on the PS3 online network. It was originally a PS2 game but got updated for the PS3 (graphics still look the same), you play from different characters perspective and the story adapts if a character dies or survives the ordeal. Make sure you get Siren: Blood Curse since the original version was a little bit confusing in its lay out, so the update at the least lays out the chapters in a sensible manner.

One Siren game is available in the PSN for PS4 as well. I almost bought it once when it was on sale, but then I was busy with other stuff and missed it.
Afaik these games were directed by some original Silent Hill developers who seperated from Team Silent for some reason.
Never played a Siren game, but if I remember correctly I heard only good things about the series.

More recommended games:

- "Observer" by the Layers Of Fear developers. A really good psychological cyberpunk horror game, I love it! (But Layers of Fear not so much.)

Games playing in the Lovecraft universe should also be added to the list of classic psychological horror. Lovecraft was a horror writer who got inspired by the old masters like Edgar Allen Poe for example. He died in about 1920. He is kinda called the godfather of modern fantastic (and subtle) horror and his work is usually about horror from the unknown.
And his characters get insane regulary. ;-)

Some lovecraftian games:
- "Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners Of The Earth" (2009). It captured really good the horror from Shadows over Insmouth novel, but it didn't age very well and still got some bugs. There is a fanpatch that fixes a lot, but the Steam version has got problems with that, probably because of DRM issues. So better get the retail version or the DRM free version off GoG, if you are interested.
- A new "Call of Cthulhu" (2018) just got released. I didn't play it yet, but it's looking fantastic. I guess it is pretty good.
- Conarium already got mentioned here. It's playing the the arctic setting of the Lovecraft universe, although the game isn't carrying a Lovecraft or Cthulhu name. I guess the devs would have to pay license fees to Chaosium, so they just made their game without any special trademarks.

Yeah thats the Ruthger Hauer game I was talking about. I couldn't remember the name but Observer and Soma are on my list.

Messaggio originale di GiggleBeard:

RE2make has many aspects of psychologival horror, hearing Mr. X's footsteps getting closer and closer is a form of psychological horror. Dumb dumb.

So if a part of the game is scary it makes it a psychological horror game? Dumb dumb.

RE2

He said psychological survival horror. RE2 doesn't fit at all. Do you honestly think the two games are alike..? RE serie has never been psychological.

But apart from that, they are pretty similar.

4th is alright but not as good as 2 or 3.

I pretty much cleared off all survival horror based games I wanted to play on that system. Looking for something a little more modern at this point.

Not really.
I love the RE2 remake, but it is a completely different kind of "horror" then Evil Within 2 is.
Just because they are both third person, and horror themed games... does not make them alike.

It's like saying FEAR and Alien Isolation are the game because first person horror.

[Aeternum]

There is also "The Thing" even though it was buggy as all hell. Still the movie is a favorite of mine.
