Going against the grain here, what are some of y'alls favorite horror games?
Bonus points for any tips on actually playing horror games instead of getting too scared to play them, lol
Dead Space, either one or two. The story is really neat to me, so I can put up with the horror to get to the story. Also sometimes I just watch it on youtube which puts a layer between me and the game.
Alien Isolation is really good
I don't know if it counts as horror, but Voices of the Void has its moments.
I will always love classic survival horror the most: fixed camera angles, tank controls, gameplay mostly revolving around finding keys and puzzle solving, etc. Games like the pre-RE4 Resident Evils, Dino Crisis, Silent Hill 1-4, the Project Zero/Fatal Frame series.
But to mention a different kind of horror game that doesn't get talked about enough, Condemned: Criminal Origins
Anthology of the Killer series is great.
Note, though, that it isn't really trying to scare you.
