The EEL Spookiness: 10/10
Thanks to mods that increase Amnesia's lighting effects and clean up its textures, we now know that most of this game's monsters are actually Post Malone running after you with a loose earbud, asking you to check out his newest single. You can't look directly at him without draining your sanity meter because it's just too much Spookiness: 10/10
It was some serious whiplash to have this be your first 'next gen' 360 game. Wow the boils from that infected stab wound are *gorgeous*. Look at the attention to detail on the broken teeth over there on the floor. Lovely Spookiness: 10/10
There's............................a LOT to unpack here 10/10
There are many references in this game to a dangerous, ghostly entity called "the Walrider." This title was a big give away to old-school gamers like me, who instantly realized this mythical affront to God Himself was just Tony Hawk doing his skateboard tricks Spookiness: 9/10
Silent Hill is a franchise in which blurry people scrape things on the floor Spookiness: 9/10
jareth Spookiness: 8/10
This was the first horror game I ever played. I completed the demo a few times and liked it so much I ordered a copy of it from the Konami website, because I couldn't find it anywhere in real life. This means I had to ask my parents' permission to use their high speed dialup internet, so this was a long time ago. AAAAAAGH! The passing of time is spooky!!! Spookiness: 8/10
The protagonist's hair always bothered me in this game. It looks like if John Wick went in a bowl-cut direction. Or something. It's upsetting Spookiness: 8/10
It's spooky, but after you die a lot, being chased by the Alien is more like not being able to shake someone you don't want to talk to at a party. This is a cool spaceship! I think I'll just get over here to this medical bay. *vent rattles, Alien busts through grate* OMG is that Alien AGAIN. ugh I just want to talk to my friend the NPC and go home, but here Alien is, breaking the touch barrier without my consent Spookiness: 8/10
