Glad you enjoyed it! Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a gem, and it’s become a bit of a Halloween tradition in my household. Have fun with Costume Quest—it’s one of Schafer’s most underrated works.
Wow this was such a great write up! My siblings and I always loved playing Luigi’s Mansion. We somewhat recently got into the Until Dawn series and boy was that fun! Locked ourselves in a dark room for a whole weekend and played it nonstop haha. We also really had fun watching our dad play Bioshock. Shut the curtains and watched him play through it like it was a scary movie. I’ve heard of Amnesia before but never quite knew what it was (except that PewdiePie screams a lot when he plays it 😆) Your description was super awesome and totally makes me want to try it! Knowing me, though, I’d be the first case of a player having a heart attack. LOL
How fun, I wish my parents played video games growing up! Bioshock, especially. Until Dawn is another game/franchise I hope to play someday, but I dunno... maybe watching playthroughs was enough 😨
Glad you enjoyed the article! Do be careful with Amnesia, though—while being literally scared to death is supposed to be incredibly rare (like, "almost never"-level rare), I should mention that Game & Word assumes no responsibility for you playing any of the games mentioned in the newsletter 😬⚖️😄
Amazing list! Discovered a few gems to add to my wish list, including Salt & Sanctuary, Axiom Verge, and Carrion. Now will just need to find the time to play them..
So glad you found it useful! Yeah, you can't go wrong with any of the ones you picked. Axiom Verge in particular is just... *chef's kiss* ...perfection!
This is a great resource! I really enjoyed beating Luigi’s Mansion 3. Thanks for putting Costume Quest on my radar.
