Horror fans gon be eating gud

 

[skit_data]

Aliens Dark Descent isn’t much of a horror game though (wish it was)

 

[Hydroxy]

As a horror fan, it makes me happy.

 

[kunonabi]

only interested in TCM, Slitterhead, and Alone in the Dark. Rest looks mostly like the usual junk.

Here's the only big one in 2023

A franchise that hasn't evolved since its early '00s

i wish i loved horror games. Don’t think I’ll be getting anything on that list this year

There’s like 5 or 6 games on that list that I know I will buy. Slitterhead looks great. Does that mean it’ll play the way I want it to? Having Silent Hill potentially come out this year is a great feeling.

I’m hesitant about TTCM just because I didn’t get a lot out of Friday the 13th.

A great year for horror. I'll be getting Dead Space, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Alone in the Dark for sure. I'll definitely try out Redfall, as the latest trailers have been pretty promising. Killer Klowns looks bonkers and I love the movie, but I think it was a online only game like Friday the 13th so I'll most likely pass. Cautious about Alan Wake 2. Did not like the first one but remedy knocked it out of the park with Control so faith is restored that the team can put out something memorable. A great year indeed.

Cause I said so.

After a lacklustre couple of years 2022 started to look up for fans of all things scary, but 2023 looks like it'll take things one step further!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Im join to the club

 

[Xdrive05]

Really seems like a terrific year for gaming!
