#Layers of fear pewdiepie series#
The original entry in the series runs pretty well on Nintendo’s current-gen hardware. Light also plays an important part in puzzle solving, something that was frustratingly removed for its sequel. You can grip any item in the castle with ‘ZR’, and while the physics system is as fiddly and unpredictable as it was on PC, being able to physically open a door slowly and peek inside to see one of the Shadow’s grotesque minions trotting towards you really adds to that spooky vibe. When you’re not desperately searching for new ways to conjure light or avoiding the horrors that are constantly pursuing you, you’ll spend your time either exploring the castle or solving environmental puzzles that aren’t afraid to boggle the mind with their obtuse solutions. It might have been made on a budget for an old generation of hardware, but time hasn’t dulled the potency of its scares.
#Layers of fear pewdiepie portable#
And with so many great (and a fair few not so great) horror games on Nintendo Switch, it’s fitting a game that was siloed away on PC for so long should join the ranks of portable fear. It’s the game that helped put the 'Let’s Play' format on the map, and while the series has long been showing its age – the original game is almost a decade old, and you can really tell – it’s still one of the most unsettling franchises you can play. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is one of those games part of a very select club that not only redefined the genre in video game form, but established a template that many would imitate (and most would fail to surpass). There are countless films, books and TV shows out there that claim to conjure blood-curdling chills, but very few of them really stay with you, like a splinter burrowing beneath the skin. Anyone can throw together enough blood, guts and gore to make a butcher green at the gills, but proper, unsettling terror is a rare thing indeed.
