>tfw there will never be another horror game as haunting because the industry thinks horror games are obsolete.
Also, horror game thread.
I'm playing Layers of Fear as we speak. I'm huddled in a narrow hallway listening to sobbing and following some rats. It's a neat game.

Evil within put the final nail. Also, silent Hill 1 has better locations
Just recently played and finished Amnesia: Dark Descent.
It was good but I can't help but feel it was way too over-hyped. I remember this game being talked about all the time in 2011, people exclaiming it to be one of the greatest horror games ever and a supposed revival of the genre. With so much praise I was surprised and disappointing how linear and scripted all of the scares were.

The only people who praise Amnesia as highly as most seem to are ones who have barely played any horror games in their life. That's why it's really popular on Reddit.

Alien: Isolation is a good horror game, but not in the same way I guess
Let's just hope Capcom doesn't fuck up the RE2 remake

I felt the same way.
It was just boring and brain dead. Most of the enemies disappear within a few minutes, sometimes seconds of spawning so there is rarely a sense of danger, and the puzzle rooms were piss easy and never had monsters in them so you always felt safe in them which is exactly what a horror game shouldn't do.
The game was neat but there is still so much wasted potential.

It's just OK. It kept beating a dead horse with the same mechanic over and over and over again, though. You know which one I mean. "Oh no, there's no exits here. Let me spin in circles over and over again until a new way opens up".
What was the symbolism behind this?

I never managed to finish this demo. I figured I wouldn't look online for a walkthrough, and I guess I could have eventually figured it out on my own, but it was too nerve-wracking to spend hours exploring this fucking corridor.
