| MTZehvor said: RE7 is definitely a good game, but I'm not quite sure about greatest ever. Lack of enemy variety, some rather glaring design problems (like Marguerite materializing from thin air when she grabs you before her first boss fight), jumpscares are extremely predictable, and the last third of the game is a generic slime monster shooting corridor fest. I'm not sure which one I'd put as the overall better title, but Alien Isolation definitely scared me a lot more, probably as a result of the horror being almost entirely organic and the alien representing a consistent life or death threat at all times. Once you realize Jack and Marguerite only patrol a limited radius and won't follow you past there, it makes getting spotted more of a temporary nuisance rather than a genuine moment of fear. |
It's the same in Alien Isolation though. Once you realize how the Alien patrols and when he shows up it's not scary anymore. Plus it was really easy to hide from the Alien. I had the opposite effect, Alien became a nuisance, Jack freaking chased me through half the house then grabbed me through the wall in front of me again, damn!
