gaming Any horror games you would recommend to start out?

[Dashie23 103]

This is a post I put on Reddit, but I'll ask it here too.

 

Any good horror games to start playing the genre? I want to try it, but I don't want to dive into Slender or Amnesia right away. I want to work my way up to more popular ones like the two above, FNAF, or Dead Space. And since I'm starting, I'd appreciate less or no jumpscares(most of the reason I'm waiting on Slender and such)

I heard Amnesia is g-

 

Oh.

 

Try Silent Hill. I heard it's pretty good. I'm not sure if it has any jumpscares though since I haven't played it myself.

[Demonic Soulz 482]

Silent Hill or the early Resident Evil games,

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Silent Hill 2 is a must. Very few jump scares, but tons of psychological horror.

All Silent Hill EXCPET DOWNPOUR/Downsnore are good

 

Downpour was boring hence why I called it Downsnore or hell even Downbore

Dreaming Mary is a lesser-known game that's pretty cutsey, but has some dark secrets for you to find. There are multiple endings, so don't quit after one, figuring you're done.

Resident Evil(GC remake, also getting an HD remaster version soon)

Resident Evil 4

Anything else is simply icing. Those two are truly the best of the best.

Just play Resident Evil 4; just do it. xD  That's more about an atmosphere of mounting tension or dread than it is about silly jumpscares (I don't care for jumpscares myself).  And, when you're done playing through RE4, move on to...  RE4. xD  I played through like eight times.  Resident Evil: Revelations, I thought, was excellent as well.  It felt more like true survival horror than RE5 and RE6.  And what's NOT creepy about claustrophobia-inducing hallways or being trapped at sea with a bunch of bullet-eating monstrosities?  And I also really enjoyed Dead Space.  RE4 and Dead Space are the kinds of games that make you creep yourself out wondering what comes next, and THEN they try to make you panic during an enemy onslaught.  It works.

I LOVE Dead Space and DOOM 3. You can get Doom 3 in the Doom BFG Edition which includes: Doom 1, 2, 3, Resurrection of Evil, and the Lost Missions. so like 4 and a half games for like $20 or so..

 

though, Dead Space's enemies are infections, while Doom's enemies are Demons from the Hell demention

Honestly, Id almost start with Slender. Its one of the least scary horror games out there, while still being at least somewhat scary.

 

But if you want to try something below that, I suggest playing OFF. it starts eery, then gets funny, then way too eery, then flat out terrifying. Then you fight a lady in a basement, get her chocolate, and meet aliens. Kind of all over the place really, than just a straight up horror title. But it was definitely unnerving at times.

 

Otherwise, try a game on GOG called I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. I hear good things about it and was thinking of buying it soon, so you should definitely check it out too.

 

You might also want to try the Stop It Slender gamemode on Garrys Mod. Slender, but with buddies! And YOU can be Slender! Pretty neat, huh?

Speaking of horror games, what did you guys think of P.T.?

[Dashie23 103]

Hey guys, I downloaded an emulator of PSX for Doom, Silent Hill, and Resident evil but without a BIOS, I got frustrated, so I'm downloading Slender. I'm still open to suggestions though!

[Darker 1,351]

Old ones: Resident Evil 4 or Silent Hill 2. Very good.

 

Modern ones: Outlast(also play the DLC)

[Celtore 2,769]

Ib is pretty good. There are a few jumpscares, but the game is in 2d and they aren't really too bad. It's more about the atmosphere.

Um..

 

FPS-horror games usually don't have quite that many "boo-monster-in-your-face" moments, more about trying to get under your skin.

 

Games such as Condemned: Criminal Origins, F.E.A.R, DOOM 3 etc..
