Playing in the first person for the hero, who did something bad, and things get worse and worse after that… It’s hard. And this is the beginning of a dark spiral, on which you are doomed to descend to the very end, feeling how insanity and despair are growing inside. There is war, after all, so blood is pouring down the river… But then you realize what you’ve done. Thoughtlessly, without thinking about the consequences. In order not to spoil the fun for those who have not seen the game, let’s just say: in the certain moment the hero did something bad. It remains to envy those people who have not played. It is impossible to forget what you’ve learnt, and the second passage loses its meaning. In Spec Ops: The Line it’s pointless to play twice. And only in the process it becomes clear how great the difference is… In addition, the studio does not have such money as the creators of Call of Duty or Gears of War, so the game is not impressive as a shooter. And it draw the attention.Īt the beginning of the game it seems that this is another not-so-great attempt to repeat the success of Call of Duty : you play a commander of the special unit land at the “hot spot” with a special task to find out the details of the failed military operation … Standard plot. But in the reviews to this game it was said that its plot was based on Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, on which the film Apocalypse Now was produced. This one initially disguises itself as a classic third-person shooter by Yager Development. In general, Silent Hill 2, as well as the next of our Top-5, is a rare representative of the genre, where the source of all the horror experienced by the player lies not in catastrophes, monsters, aliens, the end of the world, but inside the hero himself. There is a moment in the game where the hero sees a monster that just passes – by with the edge of his eye, through the latch… But this moment is remembered for a long time. And one of them is your alter ego, your projection of suppressed aggression, darkness in your soul.
#WHY DOES OHMWRECKER PLAY HORROR GAMES FULL#
This place represents the sprawn of your sick subconscious full of monsters. The whole atmosphere of the town is imbued with the atmosphere of the impending catastrophe, and all the people there just strengthen the sense of wrongness.Īnd the main discovery game gives is the problem is not in people and not in the town itself. But this only confirms the already received impression. Then it becomes clear that something very extraordinary is happening. It takes time before you meet the first monster. And you understand from the first minutes in the city: something here is questionably (a feeling that will haunt you the whole game).īut the game does not say this directly. You are an ordinary person who comes to the strange city of Silent Hill to meet your seemingly deceased wife. In our memory this is the first example of a game where you gradually understand, as you go along, that everything isn’t as simple and unambiguous as it seems at first.

The game is quite outdated, but is still considered the “gold standard” of psychological horror.


Today we want to talk about five of them. We create ‘The Executioner’ in the genre of “psychological horror.” There are games that are considered classics and the pride of this genre.
