IGNs Top 25 Horror Game list is OFFENSIVE || Bawkbasoup Reacts

Especially in a top 25, you flatly don't have space to include multiple entries from a series if you want to get good coverage. It's best to just limit yourself to your favorite entry in a series, and maybe make mention of any games in the series that you think wouldn't warrant being in the same place.

It’s IGN, nobody takes them seriously as a gaming journalism platform. I don’t remember the last time i bothered with reading any of their reviews or opinions. You’re right, it’s not just one big entity but I’ve seen enough bad takes or obvious takes that were influenced by publishers or developers. There’s a plethora of channels I trust to give me honest reviews of games and more often than not, they’re at odds with whatever IGN says.

Only one SH game? No RE1 Remake? No RE7? No Fatal Frame? Hell, if they're including action horror games, why not include Parasite Eve or Dino Crisis? Doki Doki Literature Club was an iconic KZbinr game, why not put that on there with all the other iconic KZbinr games?

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

RE1 was on the list. Being a game KZbinrs love doesn't make it good though. Haunting Ground, Obscure, Carrier, The Thing, Fear Effect, Clock Tower III, etc, are far superior to Doki.

[@erg1947]

@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork I mean they did say no RE1 Remake. A lot of people see the Remake as the definitive version of RE1 since it's basically the game the devs wanted to make, they had a console that could handle it and the budget to add the content they had to cut.

I can't stay mad at the SOMA opinion while he's the only person I've seen give the Dead Space remake the respect it deserves

[@Scopatone]

The most offensive part of this list is that F.E.A.R wasn't on it. The first game had such an great atmosphere and you were constantly on edge. Plus it's enemy AI was revolutionary and still is by modern standards.

[@schojdfjf6495]

I was thinking about that game this entire list, wondering when it would show up. The original FEAR game was absolutely iconic and the AI is still renowned and was at that time. Crazy that it wasn’t included in this list, but I speculate that they’ve probably had some deals with some studios to include their games, but of course I’m just assuming.

[@VideoGameOwnage123]

Kind of. It's also about games that are still being actively sold - I'd be amazed if there wasn't some incentive to make sure it was SH2R and not the original SH2 that got that top spot, for example. I also don't know if I'd call a Puppet Combo game a "most influential" game. Puppet Combo is great and probably is influential within its niche, but it's a pretty small niche.

[@LanzagranadasM79]

Yeah, of course there are some exceptions like SH2R being there probably because IGN got paid for the advertising, but for the most part that's what the ranking looks like. More about influential/popular/iconic games with a horror theme than about scary or even actually good horror games.

[@jediahpesu6673]

Man I agree so much about Resident Evil 7. I also agree that the second half - particularly the bit with the ship, were sub-par. For me, those later segments of the game would have been better as DLC or something. But the first half of Re7 were insanely scary. I've replayed the beginning parts of that game many times just to re-experience that horror. True masterclass.

[@DrasticSkuba]

I would definitely put Alan Wake 2 in my top 10. I'd need to really sit and think about precisely where though. In no particular order, my top 10 (1 game per franchise) would be: - Alan Wake 2 - Alien: Isolation - Resident Evil 2 - Silent Hill 2 - The Mortuary Assistant - Phasmophobia - Outlast - The Suffering - Dead Space - Prey

[@ContractorBk201]

Alien isolations highest difficulty ruined the game for me, it made the alien so persistent that I was forced to hide so often that it wasn't scary anymore. Really quickly became frustrating enough that I was putting my controller down waiting for the alien to just leave so I could get on with the game play. Game was great on a playthrough where that was toned down so I get some of the frustration about it

[@Brownaut1993]

Yeah the devs claiming Hard should be the intended difficulty was a mistake. Hard difficulty is also just plainly annoying. But medium is the sweet spot. Challenging but the game doesn't overdo it. Arguably what should've been the 'Hard' difficulty

[@Brand1ess]

Nightmare difficulty is my preferred way to play the game. I like the tension. Hard mode and below gives so many resources for distraction items that make the game to easy. Although I wish the difficulty didn't hide the health bar. Having to keep mental note of that is more of an annoyance than anything.

[@BrunoScheidecker]

At 16:00, fucking thank you for what you said. Horror games have to have atmosphere. But we players, have to set the atmosphere around us too. That's why watching someone else playing a horror game is a lot less scary than us playing. And especially with the mood set right. Night, alone, lights out, headset on (vr headset if the game supports vr). That's how we play a horror game, and also watch a horror movie. Also, watching a horror movie with the theater mode of the vr headset, is amazing
