TGISGM! Thank goodness it\u2019s scary games Friday<\/del> month! I\u2019ve been dying all summer because the sun doesn\u2019t go away until like 10PM and I\u2019m too old to stay up much later than that but now it gets dark super early and I can get some SPOOPS GOIN\u2019!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry. That was a really weird sentence. Anyway, since it\u2019s that time of year, I\u2019m going to be sort of rating the games I\u2019ve played on how spooky they are. Like I did back in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

~Game Over~<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mega Man 11<\/b> (Switch) – <\/span>Not Spooky<\/span><\/b> – Torch Man\u2019s stage theme is \u201cwandering around the woods at night\u201d which is a little bit spooky, but less so with all the cartoon robots who live there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Picross S2<\/b> (Switch) – <\/span>Not Spooky<\/span><\/b> – It\u2019s picross. There may be like, a puzzle of a pumpkin in there somewhere, but it wouldn\u2019t even have a face carved into it. No spooks here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate<\/b> (Switch) – <\/span>Not Spooky<\/b><\/span> – Despite being all about monsters -some of which are mildly frightening- there\u2019s nothing particularly spooky here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bayonetta<\/b> (Switch) – <\/span>Spooky-ish<\/b><\/span> – Freaky lookin\u2019 angels and demons all over, but there\u2019s never really anything <\/span>scary<\/span><\/i>, you know? Except for the impossibly unbalanced difficulty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Slayaway Camp<\/b> (Switch) – <\/span>Spoopy!<\/b><\/span> – This game does a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of 80\u2019s slasher movies, and then hamming it up to 11. Perfect blend of horror and humour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hollow<\/b> (Switch) – <\/span>Spooky!<\/b><\/span> – You\u2019re stranded on a derelict spaceship; presumably alone, until you realize there are hordes of mutilated boobie-zombies out to kill you dead! Eek!<\/span><\/p>\n

Kemono Friends Picross<\/b> (Switch) – <\/span>Spooky-ish<\/b><\/span> – It\u2019s very subjective, but I find the whole animal-people theme to be a little creepy. Otherwise, this is way too cheerful to be spooky.<\/span><\/p>\n

~Now Playing~<\/span><\/h2>\n

Onechanbara Z2: Chaos<\/b> (PS4) – <\/span>Spoopy at Best<\/b><\/span> – It\u2019s about zombies and cursed blood and copious gore, but really it\u2019s just too dumb\/goofy\/cheesecakey to actually be spooky.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dark Souls<\/b> (Switch) – <\/span>Spooky!<\/b><\/span> – Yeah, this one\u2019s a shoo-in for spooks. Have you ever seen the Gaping Dragon? Or <\/span>any<\/span><\/i> monster from the Painted World of Ariamis? Buuuh. Nightmares!<\/span><\/p>\n

MGSV: The Phantom Pain<\/b> (PC) – <\/span>Not Spooky<\/b><\/span> – There\u2019s that one part with the parasite warehouse that is genuinely creepy and gross, but we passed that chapter months ago.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
