      I stopped after the protagonist found out what he is and got to the water section… It’s like the reveal was done in an anti climatic way.

      Or am I missing much more to the story?

    Maybe a bit too old school but “Eternal Darkness; Sanity’s Requiem”. Surprisingly good (entertaining) voice acting and writing!

    As someone who hates horror but loves SF: Alien Isolation is pretty nuts. I legit threw my controller when the AI outsmarted me and caught me in a doorway face-2-face. I couldn’t play again for months.

    Loved Dead Space 1&2 and the Resident evil games (the remakes and 7, 8). In terms of story, Silent Hill II is probably my favorite and i’m eagerly awaiting the remake

    Scorn was worth a shot if you’ve already played Soma and RE. The mechanics are… Fine. The art is jaw-dropping. It’s like Amnesia if H. R. Giger had been the art director.

    Right off the bat, the Dead Space series is pretty good. Crazy as it sounds, Dead Space: Extraction (a wii game that no one talks about, although it is also on the PS3) is probably my favorite in the series.

    You can’t go wrong with the Silent Hill series, and another possibly unpopular opinion is that Silent Hill 4 : The Room is probably my favorite. >

    Now a real oddball pick. Is it the best game? No. Does it have an amazing story? No. But Obscure and Obscure 2 were a lot of fun of you’re cool with “this is like a really low budget campy horror flick” kind of games. Played them with a buddy a few years ago and it was the most fun co-op experience I’ve had in ages.

    Silent Hill 2 is my favorite

    Call of Cuthulhu dark corners of the earth is amazing up to the point where you get a weapon, but gets really bad after. Still worth playing up to that point.

    Alien isolation is really scary, especially on higher difficulties since the alien acts differently on higher difficulties. It’s just too long and drags pretty hard in places.
