Ah cool, I’ve played the first one and enjoyed it quite a bit. Wouldn’t be the first thing that comes to mind when I think of horror, but I get where you’re coming from. Reminds me of David Lynch stuff with it being unsettling and dreamlike, so kind of spooky.
I’ve given Signalis a go a couple of times and for some reason it hasn’t clicked for me. But maybe I’ll give it another try, thanks!
As in Remedy’s Control?
The Children of the Dead by Elfriede Jelinek is my number one. Second place is a tie between Women and Men by Joseph McElroy and The Tunnel by William H. Gass.
Looks like it could be up my alley, thanks for the rec!
Started up a new save of Bloodborne on pc and talk about a fine wine. Unfortunately I kept on experiencing freezes/crashes via ShadPS4/BBLauncher, so I’ve put it down for the time being. I’ve heard about the newfangled decomp/recomp that lets you run it natively, but idk, I don’t really think that scene is for me.
Otherwise I’ve been chipping away at Dredge and am considering a new playthrough of The Case of the Golden Idol. Never got around to the DLC with the latter, but also just going back through the base game to see all of the artwork again sounds like a good time.
Also, if anyone has recommendations for horror games that aren’t Resident Evil or Silent Hill, I’d love to hear them. Can be action horror, survival horror, scary horror, cozy horror, and so on, I’m interested in it all.
It was impatient of me, but I picked up Control: Resonant and, while it seems cool, I don’t think it’s the time for this game, so I’ll shelve it and come back to it at a later date. Right now I’m considering playing going through the Alan Wake games or buckling down and giving Baldur’s Gate 3 a fair shot. Much more likely, I might just spend my time modding the heck out of Resident Evil 4 (2005). Nobodies going to bingo on my watch.
Alright, looks like it’s my turn to be “that guy”, but as a certified, heavily medicated sad boi, I really can’t recommend Souls games enough. They’re tough, but they got me to redefine what success and personal improvement could look like and was slowly able to apply that to other facets of my life.
I didn’t finish the second Alan Wake, but I was kind of getting the impression that I was towards the back third or quarter of the game, but like you said, the gameplay didn’t really do too much for me and I eventually just got tired of playing it so I put it down. That being said, I do kind of have a hankering to pick it back up and give it a fair shot, especially with it being spooky season and Remedy being on my mind due to all of the buzz that the Control sequel has gotten.
Started another playthrough of the first Control. Just walking around blasting stuff with the melee push and watching how all the individual items react never gets old.
I’ve been playing Dredge and Night in the Woods this week for some nice autumnal vibes. I also played Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping, and while it’s not quite as good as The Secret Salami, I still enjoyed my time with it and I hope there are more games in the series to come.
Also, I plan to be impatient this week and get the new Control game. I know, blasphemy, but the heart uh wants what it wants.
I figured it was time to check out some of the more hyped-up games out there, so I’ve been playing Hades, Hollow Knight, and a bit of Slay the Spire. I’m not sure if I’m at the point where I’m ready to no-life any of them, but for the most part, they all live up to their hype. And the nice part is that they all have sequels available, so if I stick with them and finish/get my fill of them, there is more to come.
I also played Duck Detective: The Secret Salami and it was a really nice short, relatively easy detective game that I recommend if you want a little break from whatever you’re currently playing.
hell yeah, brother (or sister, or sibling). even if you’re just using public trackers via torrent, films or series utilizing hdr should be available. I would also second MPV like others have said
