Firstly, with each new horror game, developers are having to push the boundaries, so the theming and content, in general, gets worse continuously, but because we’re here to torture ourselves anyway, that’s better, right?

You may be wondering what I mean by that given I said I don’t like horror games, but bear with me. The thing is too, horror games are getting better and better every year, in more ways than one. And you KNOW that you can’t progress until you move past that point, but you KNOW it’s going to get you and you can’t quite bring yourself to do it? When you’re the one piloting the ship through a haunted house and you KNOW that something is waiting for you up ahead. However, scary games are a different kettle of fish altogether. I’ve never been a really big scary movie fan either, but that’s because I feel like horrors these days never truly scare you, you know? They rely on cheap jumpscares 90% of the time and while some movies do that well, usually it just turns out kind of crappy. I can be playing Minecraft and a skeleton that I didn’t know was there could shoot me and I’ll jump that badly the mouse spazzes across the screen and I end up resembling a pound land take on an old school FaZe no-scoping montage. Yeah, I’m talking about you black cat in a locker, you got me good.īut, I’m that person that everybody knows, you know the one that everybody jumps out on because they’re incredibly jumpy? The one everybody screams bang at when they walk around the corner? Yeah, that’s me. I’ve never been really big into horror games and outside of the more ACTION based Resident Evil games (4, 5, 6) I haven’t really played a horror game since the original Silent Hill, sitting on the end of the bed in the dark with my cousin absolutely shitting my pants. Though I do think if you enjoy them you’re a little psychotic. I have absolutely nothing against those of you out there who are really into your horror games.
