What should be a relatively uneventful job takes a turn for the demented, as the player is harassed and pursued by animatronic animals that appear to be possessed. It may rely heavily on jump scares, but there’s no denying Five Nights at Freddy ‘s ability to genuinely scare its fans, and it’s all backed up by some interesting, expansive, and surprisingly deep l
If you’re being chased, there’s no point in running away in a straight line — the killer is faster all the time, and will definitely catch up in a matter of seconds. Try to zigzag through obstacles and switch between indoors and outdoors if possi
Following his escape by stabbing Jason in the throat with a knife, the AI then entered and exited the door over and over again. As Jason, I attempted to knock the AI out of loop by blocking the door, striking with my melee weapon, and grappling without executing a follow-up command, allowing the AI to escape. But somehow, it would always return to fixate on this door. Too often, other AI characters did the exact same th
The disturbed ward is the asylum version of the Crotus Prenn maps that includes many places for survivors to take killers on a chase, including a shack, main buildings, and the greenhouse outside without it being too one-si
We know now that PT is a “playable teaser” for Hideo Kojima’s Silent Hills , a game that will never actually materialize since it was canceled by Konami . But back when it released, it was a truly mysterious and bizarre experie
February starts off slow, as far as television premieres goes, thanks to the Winter Olympics; however the second week of month brings both the return of The Walking Dead season 4 on AMC and the premiere of House of Cards season 2 on Netf
After the franchise went with a more action-oriented approach for a few entries, it was clear that the Resident Evil series needed to get back to its roots. Capcom did exactly that with Resident Evil 7 , delivering an overwhelming survival-horror experience full of exploration, deadly traps, and horrific monsters for players to contend with. Especially brave players can even play through the entire game with PlayStation VR , transporting them directly into the hellish world of the Baker family plantation and all the terrors that come with
Noted for its tense atmosphere and disturbing imagery, Little Nightmares is a unique entry in the horror genre thanks to its focus on platforming. Not all critics were in love with its core gameplay, but many agreed that it’s still an experience fans of the horror genre should go out of their way to check
Before the Alien franchise was full of action-packed set-pieces and universe-spanning conflict, it was focused on horror. Essentially a slasher movie set on a spaceship, the first Alien goes for a decidedly scarier vibe than its successors, and that same tone is captured perfectly in the video Adventure game Missions Alien: Isolati
The saloon is fitted with breakable walls to make chases more balanced, and killers can employ loop tactics such as hiding their killers stain or certain perks that make tracking their prey easier. Not only that, the map is very pleasing with its overall aesthetic with some fun little easter eggs such as the vultures and the haunted pi
Similarly, Yun-Jin Lee doesn’t stand out too much against her fellow survivors. While her skills aren’t necessarily unique, they do help out other players in small ways, such as suppressing blood, scratch marks, and grunts of p
This is something that really only improves with practice, so make sure you’re taking on as many repairs as possible in the early days. You’ll never learn if you avoid them for fear of making a mistake and the killer finding
When the killer comes close, you will hear a heartbeat that gets louder and faster. When you hear that heartbeat, the best thing to do is to look around, locate them, and hide somewhere out of their view. This actually has a better chance than running, since the killer will see you if you’re sprinting away — and sprinting also leaves a tr
Five Nights at Freddy’s has transcended gaming and become a multimedia phenomenon, spawning an endless stream of merchandise, novel adaptations, and an in-production feature film on top of numerous spinoffs and sequels. The game’s premise is simple but effective, with players taking on the role of a security guard at a creepy Chuck E. Cheese knockoff restaurant called Freddy Fazbear’s Pi
The killers each have unique abilities and the survivors have perks and tools that can be utilized and may be extremely handy for gaining some Bloodpoints. For example, survivors can carry a torch that can be used to blind the killer (and force him to drop a survivor he’s holding!). They can also carry tool kits that can be used to break hooks, speed up generator repairs, and first aid kits that can be used to repair themselves. The possibilities are numer
It’s a bit of a shame that the DLC from the classic Evil Dead franchise couldn’t have been groovier. Ash may be a great horror protagonist on the big and small screen, but in the game, he’s one of the weakest surviv
