Horror games don't need to be stupid

Horror games don't need to be stupid

great review i played fnaf 2 in the day with my parent and grandparents in the same room as me and i still got scared but i understand what horror games are meant to be there meant to touch the and tell what its like to be on your own

nah i have no clue but thank you for this review
Yes you've raised a good blog here. But no I will not play FNaF, (I've seen it, The game looks like a jump scare flash animation with a half baked plot left for the players to decide. And the fan people are a toxic bunch I tell you, if playing FNaF turns players into people who eat, sleep, and breathe, FNaF, then I want no part of it that toxicity..)
Very well put. A little wordy, but you more accurately characterized the Horror genre than I could've, and I've tried to.

I myself better prefer the more ambient kinds of horror, be they puzzle or stealth, but I played "The Evil Within." I can safely say I enjoy a survival horror done rightly.

Glad this blog exists. It's about time somebody dispelled this poor definition of horror games.
Pretty much. Horror games don't need jumpscares to be scary, let alone scary characters. Horror doesn't even have to take place at night/in a dim setting imo.
Slender isn't a stealth horror?

Great job! You touched on arguably one of the largest gaming genres and better yet it wasn't a rant about FNaF.

You can make a case for slender being stealth horror. However, due to the nature of slender popping up in front of you as the game goes on, and the nature of the Jumpscare inducing game over screen, I'm more inclined to call it a shock horror game. And thanks!
I agree.

I'd write more but like I'm tired

Saaaaaaaaame
Dis was well, said and on point. Good job.

I my self doesn't like horror genre all that much (especially the jupmscares one) not because I hate it, it's just that I deal badly with these type of game, however, if I ever play a story oriented games I will try to get every bits of the story out of it (considering that I doesn't own my own PCs this chance is pretty rare indeed.) for example, if I ever play outlast or something more story heavy like corpse party, I would rather wonder around before proceeding on the main story.

With all that said, it's just my opinion. One thing for sure is that not many people like to read everything like me. And I think I can deal with psychological horror pretty well because I tend to look at the game features as a part of the story, in example tell tale's walking dead. If a choices appeared I only look at it as a choice you have to make to progress the story, no matter who died by said choice is not relevant to me. I also have a low tendency to grown attached to a character.

Yea, I'm also someone who can't handle them well. Never stops me from playing them though, much to my eventual regret. i mean, it's like, 2:43 right now, and I'm still up cuz of Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion. Fml
