So, what about you? Big fan of horror games? Hate them all? Only a select few? Let's hear it, and get down to the why. I'm also not a huge fan of the abysmally slow movement speeds and how often you go with nothing happening or just plain backtracking if you mess up. I've also been struck by the issue of horror games not being scary to me, similar to movies of the genre.
I've also been enticed by hidden gems of horror, but I'm scared to make the leap after SH2. I like Resident Evil, but higher difficulties seem to make it frustrating more than challenging to me.
But speaking of those classics, I've played through Silent Hill 2 up until the hospital, and found myself bored to tears. Personally, I think of Resident Evil and Silent Hill when I think of horror, not something like Bloodborne, but some will consider Bloodborne horror. And I've found that I'm not loving some of the classics, and what is considered a 'horror' game varies. Since it's that time of the year, I've been playing through some horror games.
