StaceyPowers Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Are there any games you find both scary and relaxing? Like, BioShock has plenty of jump scares in the beginning, but I still find it relaxing and low pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hitman is pretty scary in terms of actually completing your objective in killing your target without the AI noticing but relaxing in terms of being in disguise and just taking in the awesome views and even interacting with some of the NPCs.

Family sedan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Twisted 2 is scary when you get hit from behind unexpectedly, but relaxing when you're just hiding out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I wouldn't call scary relaxing, unless it soothes you to watch dangling body parts hooked on chains, creating music and harmony. With the drips of blood, swaying on the chains; mild echoes of screaming; bugs skittering. Or watching a monster butcher bodies and all that pretty sounding meat slapping around. I do like the parts in a scary game where you get to explore rooms or areas with little interference. I guess Bioshock does have that insane tranquility factor which is scary, yet relaxing. So I guess insane tranquility is the scary/relaxing you mean? I'd go with Layers of Fear being very low pressure, and Evil Within 2 at times. I did have some devilish meditative moments in Outlast. The shocking horror stills the time and lets you contemplate about life while dismembered bodies lie around. And you can find all sorts of answers as the body parts speak to you. Too much? Nah. There is a thin line between outright shocking horror and blissful relaxation. That is the moment your heart and breathing stops. Time stops. Your whole life flashes before you. Silence. Stillness. Shhhh, breathe again. Welcome back to life. How did you like the meditation? Relaxing horror. Listen to the voices. They will calm you. Guide you. Shhh. Walk into the quite dark. Touch the darkness. Feel its power. Now you are prepared for the journey into hell. Serenity if you embrace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 It's definitely going to be Resident Evil Village for me. I'm sure that some people may not find it so but it's how I feel about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
