It’s a story you’ve heard a hundred times already, but it all feels new when the execution is this flawless. Imagine the Animus but with a lot more chainsaw monsters. A virtual world constructed from the psyche of those who enter. The Evil Within 2 follows as Sebastian Castellanos looks for his daughter in the nightmare-infested world of STEM. It’s everything its prequel wishes it was, it’s terrifying, intriguing, emotionally resonant, and delightfully self-indulgent. Which explains why so many people slept on the sequel, The Evil Within 2. The long-awaited return to horror by director Shinji Mikami had some interesting ideas, but it explored them all in a very underwhelming manner. The Evil Within 2 – E3 Announcement Trailer.

Resident Evil 7 (PC / PS4 / XBOX One / Nintendo Switch) Whatever kind of horror, you can bet that Dead Space 2 can manage it effectively, be it cosmic horror, body horror, psychological horror, monster h. How the whole thing ends is a mystery because WE DON’T TALK ABOUT DEAD SPACE 3.ĭead Space 2 is a little more action-heavy than its predecessor, but it never undercuts the terror created by the story, ambiance, and gameplay. Isaac will have to fight more than just monsters this time, as he faces the horrors that plague his mind and threaten to drive him insane. Three years after the events of the original game, Isaac Clarke finds himself trapped in a space station overrun by Necromorphs, corpses brought to life by a mysterious alien infection. The original Dead Space showed the possibilities of sci-fi horror in gaming in a way that hadn’t been explored before, and the sequel expanded on everything that made the original great, and we don’t talk about Dead Space 3.

Like all the best horror, it turns your head to the weird and frightening aspects of real life and uses its deformed lens to show you the grotesque hiding in plain sight.Ĭatherine might not be for everyone. Not only that, but Catherine is surprisingly insightful. It all makes for a game unlike any other. The gameplay is fun and challenging, and the horror and romance work together brilliantly. The story is original, funny, and intriguing. I’m well aware that whenever I mention horror videogames everybody’s first thought is “Dating Sim Puzzle Platformer that explores the nature of romantic relationships in a brutal depiction of modern love.” But hear me out before you toss Catherine aside for being unoriginal.Ĭatherine is a cult classic, beloved and renowned by gamers from all walks of life.

Like hair metal, it only goes out of fashion, but never out of style. Every part of the game is undeniably 2010’s in some way or another. The hackneyed but self-aware plot devises the countless homages to Twin Peaks, the framing narrative. The game is formated as a television series, with every chapter lasting about an hour, and it flows better if you do play it bit by bit.Īlan Wake is definitively a product of its time. In Alan Wake, you play as a writer that suddenly finds himself fighting a powerful force outside of his understanding, while trying to solve the mystery of his wife’s disappearance. The Last of Us (PS4 / PS3)Īlan Wake is not only another game from remedy, it also canonically takes place in the same universe as Control.
