Does anyone else find odd comfort in horror games? Like a messed up hug from a demonic loving parent. Its cold and brutal but you want more.

I feel the same way. There's something comforting about the slow moments/downtime in a horror game that scratches an itch that other genres don't. Maybe it's the contrast between fear/calmness in the areas. music and actions that are taking place.

idk, i like to fall asleep watching horror movies/game playthroughs or their soundtracks because I find them very calming.

Classic survival horror is simply cozy.
They also are great way to handle some tough, complex subject matters, while the gameplay provides feelings of accomplishments as you progress forward.

That being said, the SH2 DEI-make was utter diarrhea feces.

I wish there was more horror in horror. Even in Silent Hill 2 the enemies are just too goofy looking and the combat little wonky that it just takes me out

I think one of my favourite vidya things is playing a horror game and seeing the protagonist win in the end, even if it looks completely hopeless for most of the game. Fatal Frame 4 was unreal with that.

Agreed. James deserved a happy ending.

Yes, I have for about 20 years, the problem though is that when you play so many that feeling gets heavily numbed. Especially if you've played the best of the best. Combination of desensitization + being spoiled by the very best. Nowadays especially it feels like devs have forgotten how to create tension and atmosphere, but hard to say if that's the desensitization at work.

I just like to kill all the monsters in the area and then take my time exploring a peacefully quiet abandoned place.

I know that feel. It's strange, but I enjoy it.

Oh sure, that's pretty common but not even just horror games but books and films too.

Kind of crazy how fast this and the RE2 remake were forgotten.
