I’m talking specifically about features, as opposed to “make it scary” or “please don’t suck.” When you’re mulling over the idea of purchasing a spooky new game to play, what does it need to offer in terms of content to get you interested? It could be a gorgeous art style/visuals, a meaty single-player mode, competitive multiplayer, online and/or local co-op, virtual reality support, challenging gameplay/minimal hand-holding, or even your platform(s) of choice.
It’d obviously be great if developers had the team, time and money that’d be required to check every box on that list, but alas, that is not a world we currently live in.
So, what features do you look for in the horror games you buy?
