Admittedly coming back to it was more a psychological warfare thing than anything else, as your mind just makes it out to be so much worse than it was. I would spend a few hours playing it in one sitting and just get so shit-my-pants scared that I’d need to turn it off and would just avoid playing it. That alone ought to be testament enough to exactly how terrifying the game is. It is then a mere hop, skip and a jump later and I finish the game in the first few months of 2019… So, if my Steam playtime is to be believed this means I completed the game at the blistering speed of 30 minutes played per month. It was a game I really wanted, but couldn’t run, at its release way back in 2014 and it wasn’t until I built my first genuine gaming rig in 2015 that I started to play it. And it proves that in the time it took me to beat it. The thing is though that the best horror games are therefore ones which I get so immersed in that I get so worked up playing them I can only get through them about an hour at a time.Īlien: Isolation is, I think, the best horror game I’ve ever played. You can have the most awkward gameplay mechanics imaginable and I will be more inclined to overlook that if I get completely immersed into the game world. See, I like horror because they live or die on their atmosphere and regularly rely on story, both of which are things I like in my games. I need lots of tea breaks, pauses where I try to get my heart rate out of the thousands and comforting reassurance that the big scary monsters are JUST A GAME. This might come as a surprise given how infrequently I talk about them, but that’s because I do not deal well with horror.
