Visage

I don't know man, it's scary sure. But half the time im to frustrated to actually be scared. No sense of direction, I have the stupid baby face ghost teleporting directly to me and murdering me instantly. Game physics are bad, opening doors TALL TASK, Sledge hammer gets stuck on random objects, lighter gets stuck behind door. Candles do F**K all. I really want to like this game, I have heard so many good things but it's gonna end up sending me to anger management before it scares me. Im still gonna try and beat it though. I paid the money :(

I just finished playing it in VR. It was an amazing experience.

Visage is a game I really wanted to like and get into because I'd heard good things however I simply could not. I think the crux of the issue is the game puzzles and mechanics are so deliberately obtuse that even the most seasoned gamers would need the occasional guide to figure out what to do or where to go next. In my opinion, the best horror games (and games in general) don't require needless progression blocks locked behind discovering some overly obscure way around the monster or way to solve the puzzle. I think watching a video on the lore of the game gives you the same effect and saves you a lot of frustration.

its an experience n good for the heart

Visage is worth playing for any fan of atmospheric horror. That said, I almost wish I could review the separate acts of this game individually; some sections gripped me more than any other horror game in recent memory, others irritated me to no end. Because the nature of the game shifts throughout, best to ignore reviews from anyone who didn't play it to completion. The story as a whole is pretty solid, some parts excellent while others are weaker or too "on the nose". The atmosphere of the game is good throughout, but the sections where entities chase and kill you tended to be more frustrating than scary; after all, the threat of death is frightening, but losing progress is inconvenient enough to overpower the fear. Use death carefully in a horror game. Puzzles range from straightforward to slightly arbitrary-feeling. Serviceable, but none of them leave you feeling particularly clever after solving. The game sits in a weird space for me. I don't regret playing it (I'm rather glad I did), but the weaker parts of this game were a bad enough experience that I have no interest replaying or revisiting it for the good parts, and may not even return to do achievement cleanup like I do…

A double dose of horror: 1. The game itself is quite scary. 2. The controls, movement speed, and inventory are also quite scary. You know when you have a nightmare and for some reason it feels like you're trying to run through molasses? The game feels like that. Still a solid 7 / 10, but improvements on gameplay would elevate it.
