Re: Game of the Year: Liam's Top 5 PS5 Games of 2024

I'm a huge fan of Silent Hill 1-3, so I was very skeptical (ever since the dawn of the rumors) of bloober team doing the SH2 Remake. But, they absolutely nailed it. And I resent when people say "Well, bloober had the blueprint." Sure, but, they took breadcrumbs and made it a full course meal. The atmosphere and the sound design were an unbelievable achievement. If you're not playing this game with 3D audio you're doing yourself a major disservice. Last thing I'll say is that the "daddy" boss fight is probably the scariest moment in a game I've had since Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I had to play SH2 Remake in 1-2 bursts because it left me feeling dirty. (And I've played the original so many times that I've become totally desensitized from it)

@ZeD "Hey, I know you've used green portals to escape the book about 40 times already, but look over there! Could that be one of those green portals to escape the book? Wow, Jot. Look at that portal. Do you think you can use that portal over there? You should try using that portal over there, Jot.

And then Jot used the green portal. Wow, great job Jot! You did it, Jot!"

I noped out about 3 hours in, couldn't take it anymore.

This game is clearly meant for very young children. The game loves wrestling controls away from the player to over explain every little thing. It is very much a "tell, not show" type game. For instance you pick up an item and have to sit there scrolling through 10+ word bubbles about how you picked up the item. Not digging this so far. Giving it another hour before I drop it.
