Additionally, the creators of Bioshock have worked on a narrative game successfully funded on Kickstarter called Perception. The character is actually a young blind woman and uses a variation of sonar called 'Echo Location' to determine her surroundings.

Other interesting ideas include Allison Road, a hyper realistic murder mystery game that follows on from the now-cancelled Silent Hills playable trailer, available on PS4, Mac, PC, iOS, and Xbox One. The game's director said that, they're 'trying to do horror without zombies or spiteful spirits of any sort', so the horror is limited to the constraints of the character's own mind and not 'real' per se. One in particular that stands out is Narcosis, a first person virtual reality PC game wherein the user is trapped in one of the most horrible situations we all dread experiencing: a slow death, alone. This is a huge game I can see myself playing well into early next year for sure, but I’ve played enough to know it deserves a spot on my list this year. With ever changing graphics, the video presents how developers are using this to create some truly innovative games with concepts that are actually scary. A constantly demanding genre, horror is known for warranting demanding work to develop something that isn't cliché and overdone, like vampires, zombies, ghosts, and so on. It won’t be quick nor easy to solve, but you can’t help but be enraptured by its beauty through every frustration and moment of clarity.Earlier this week, Gameranx released a video of the top 10 new horror video games in 2016 for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC. We particularly loved the game, stating that “The Witness is a constant idea just within reach and then, once you grasp it, is a new perspective altogether. Sitting with a Metascore of 87 from 82 critic reviews, The Witness was praised for its huge scope, challenging puzzles and respect for the player’s intelligence.

The game’s fiendishly difficult puzzles are complemented by a beautiful art style that you won’t mind admiring and passing away a little bit of time when those puzzles seem impossible.Īrguably the first big hit of the year, The Witness released to seriously high praise from critics back in late January.

Each one will guide you that tiny bit closer to finding your way home. The Witness sees you awakening on an island, alone, with over 500 puzzles surrounding you. Exclusive to PS4, The Witness was the product of many years of hard work from Jonathan Blow and the rest of the team at Thekla Inc.
