It's a little NSFW, so i'm going to post an indirect link. It looks dreadful though. It's a shame the game did so well it's been able to bankroll two other awful looking horror games.

Utterly awful horror game Agony gets a spinoff game, Succubus (new trailer)
- Thread starter CenturionNami
- Start date
When the gaming audience is so starved for good horror games that they bought Agony (I will always love you Pathologic 2). Seriously though, were there any good horror games in recent years, lets say 2015-2018 (don't you dare say Resident Evil 2).

The graphics are pretty (in this and Agony) but the animations are some of the worst i've seen. Just watch this.
The Lord of Darkness is like the lord of claymation.
What's happening with Paranoid?

Just curious, what makes Agony so bad? I don't know anything about it, but I see it brought up a lot.
Evil Within 2 is easily in my top favorite gaming experiences ever

Resident Evil 2.
It's LEAGUES better then Euro Jank 101. Which is a pretty good horror game.
Lost it when the demon screamed and the twizzlers he had in his mouth spewed forth

Anyway, alot of people brought Agony for the fact the earlier gameplay trailers looked very good. And the Christian Hell is an utterly fascinating concept to explore in a horror game as a setting.
That ending was like having a Silent Hill sequel out of fucking nowhere. Loved it
The animations are awful, there's no cogent narrative tying anything together leading to everything just being "weird generic monster chases you down a red hallway", the gameplay itself is terrible stilted and janky. They made a horror game literally set in hell and nothing about it makes use of that setting, it could be any other generic "horror" setting and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The lack of story just punctuates how much of an afterthought the actual setting was. And just dozens of technical problems.
Also it's INCREDIBLY sexist.
The opening cinematic is the only decent part about the game:

You want horror suggestions... but you don't want people to suggest one of the best horror games ever made? Strange...
So, beyond Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 7 was also excellent (especially the first half if you are a horror fan). In VR it is among one of the most effective horror games I have ever played. The Evil Within games are also both really good. The first is divisive, and I can see why, but I personally loved how focused on destabilizing the player it was. It felt ambitious and experimental.For the schlocky horror fan, Until Dawn is an absolute fucking banger. It is also a great party game (if you have other friends who love schlocky horror, at least). Beyond that, as janky and broken as it often was (not to mention ugly), Friday the 13th is actually a pretty fantastic experience. It is genuinely exhilarating. Bloodborne also has some heavy, heavy horror themeing. Not to mention the fact that it plays on that sensation of helplessness that is so strongly tethered to the horror genre. Lastly, Layers of Fear, while short, is a great horror experience (and does a lot of fun things with destabilizing the player).
Honestly, I think this may be one of the best generations for horror fans.

Observer, Soma, Outlast 2, Layers of Fear, Little Nightmares, Detention, and a few more. This gen is pretty great for indie horror games.
