Never in my life have I felt so used by a game. Feels dirty. The video game equivalent of emotional abuse.

5 stars, would recommend.

Ugh, I feel like there's no way I could do Arches if it's way scarier than Echo. Maybe if I only do it during the day. I'm fairly sure when I did Echo I played it into the night and regretted that. I do feel like dipping back into it all for the story though. I think I'll try the let's play series at some point to start with.

Well... Did you think the monsters were scary or Brian and Duke? Because Arches has less supernatural horror and more of the realistic kind, and with the whole romance between the main characters along with the themes of PTSD and trauma, the action sequences are so much more visceral and realistic.

Moreso the supernatural stuff for me. The other stuff was dark but I wasn't checking for Brian under my bed.

spoilerAlthough after reading some of the wiki today I'm a bit more reassured that a lot of the supernatural stuff in Echo seems to be neutral/benevolent, or at least misunderstood.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
