Bulkiest Toaster posted:I do agree that Half-life 2 has an awesome vibe. Nothing is overly explained but you sort of fill things in for yourself as you explore and observe the environment. Left 4 Dead series is very similar. Valve is so good with storytelling I wish they could spend a little less time on Dota. I agree they're good at world-building, but I'm not sure that's the same thing as being good at telling a story.

Dead Space 3 was a good action game but a bad horror game.

Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder is also puzzle-based.

Kortel posted:I don't like Alien Isolation. The atmosphere is great but the teleporting alien is killing the game for me plus it's psychic ability to locate me. I'm also feeling like the game is waaay too long. I don't understand how a game can be too long. If you're getting bored, just... stop playing it.

Maybe The Room series? They have a creepy atmosphere, and they're based around the fear of discovery as you're basically trying to unlock the Lament Configuration.

He's probably just going to be a hallucination or dream sequence though, it wouldn't make any sense for him to actually show up.

Danaru posted:Soma is a bizarre case, since it did an excellent job of making you worried that there was something stalking you, but also the times where something IS stalking you are the weakest point of the game. At the same time, if it was just a straight up walking simulator, it wouldn't be scary because in the back of your head, you know nothing can hurt you. Is being stalked really the only scary thing you can think of? That seems remarkably unimaginative, especially given Soma did a good job of building an oppressive and hopeless atmosphere.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I'm actually perfectly fine with Dead Space 3 pushing into straight-up action, because there wasn't a lot left to be scared of. Isaac knows how Necromorphs work and how to stop them as much as the player does, so it just becomes contrived forcing him into another rapidly-infecting ship and expecting Isaac to be afraid of it all for a third time. Stomping in prepared with weapons he's crafted to murder the poo poo out of Necromorphs makes a whole lot more sense. They should've focused more on the body horror aspect, the necromorphs in 3 were supposed to have been undisturbed for hundreds of years so they could've gone all-out on their mutations.
