I’m currently playing Dead Island 2 and Amnesia: The Bunker.

I picked up Dead Island 2 from Epic Games, where it’s currently on sale AND Epic is having their 25% off coupon promotion, so I thinks thats the cheapest DI2 has been. I’m really enjoying it - its got addictive melee combat with really gross zombies, and the characters are just great so far. The story’s a little campy, the colors are loud and vibrant, and (for me at least) its wonderfully optimized for PC. I have an older GPU (1660ti) and its running great. Its basically everything I wanted from a Dead Island sequel.

Amnesia: The Bunker is growing on me. It’s on Game Pass right now so I decided to jump in. I love the Amnesia ambiance, but I wish they’d drag the control scheme into to modern era. Once you get used to the controls though, theres a lot to love here. It’s dark, and the environs really set up the tone. Strongly suggest playing with the lights out and headphones on to get the most out of the art design and audio. It has lots of flavor text, and slowly reveals it’s exposition with lots of notes and visual cues. My only concern at this stage is that I may end up finding it a bit hard for me.

Next up I’m really considering getting Dead Space and Killing Floor 2 before the Epic sale ends, and if you consider Diablo 4 to be horror, Im definitely picking that up sooner or later because I have friends who want to co-op it with me. Ive heard great things about it.

What about y’all? Anyone else here enjoying some horror gaming of late?

    Capcom’s RE Engine is phenomenal on most hardware, up there with the Fox Engine. I strongly recommend every Resident Evil that has been released since 2017.

    The only exception is to not pay too much for Resident Evil 3 (2020) as it’s half the size as normal.

    Resident Evil 2 is my favourite of the last 6 years.
