15 Scary Bosses That Will Make You Shudder In Your Skin

By their very nature, bosses are meant to be intimidating foes that test every skill you’ve picked up as you’ve played a game. Some, however, turn out to be much more unsettling than you’d expect. Every so often, you’ll come across a boss in a game that isn’t exactly a horror experience, but will still make you shudder in your skin. This is a feature dedicated to fifteen such bosses.

NYX (PERSONA 3)

Persona 3’s final boss is a force to be reckoned with for several reasons. Not only does it look absolutely terrifying, it’s also the mother of all boss fights, with Nyx taking numerous forms throughout what might be one of the longest boss fights you’ll ever experience. Persona games have always dealt with darker themes, of course, but very rarely has it done so on the same level as it did with Nyx.

11 Best Star Wars Games You Need To Play

2019 is a huge year for Star Wars. A saga over three decades in the making culminates in a conclusion when The Rise of Skywalker releases in December- but even on the video games front, there’s a lot to look forward to for fans of the property. Respawn Entertainment’s narrative-driven single player title Jedi: Fallen Order is out on November 15, and with all this upcoming Star Wars content coming up, it’s no surprise that Star Wars is pretty much constantly on our minds.

So as we gear up for an exciting two months, in this feature, we’ll be taking a look at what we feel are the eleven best Star Wars games to date. Without further ado then, let’s get started.

#11. STAR WARS: SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE

Shadows of the Empire was far from a darling of the critics when it launched, but though it wasn’t very well received back in the day, over the years it’s developed a strong and dedicated fan following. And it’s not hard to see why- Shadows of the Empire’s Hoth sections by themselves make the game worth a shot, but even beyond those, fans of Star Wars will appreciate the game for how well it captures the aesthetic and tone of that universe. It hasn’t aged very well, as is the case with many N64 titles, but if you can get past its more outdated mechanics, you’ll be in for a great ride.

That doesn’t last for long though, as he eventually has to outrun the Sith’s Inquisitors and the Second Sister. A proper gameplay reveal has been confirmed for next month at EA Play.

15 Scary Levels In Non-Horror Games

Shubhankar Parijat — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 10:20:12 +0000

All mediums of entertainment strive to elicit strong reactions in their audiences, and video games are obviously no different. And very few reactions to something are ever as honest or leave as lasting of an impact as being scared out of your wits. So of course, game’s love to do that as well. But for a game to do that, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a horror title. Over the years, there have been countless video games that have had genuinely scary moments and sequences that, all said and done, didn’t belong to the horror genre at all. In this feature, we’re going to take at fifteen such levels in non-horror video games. Some of these might be downright frightening, while others might just be disturbing in different ways, but we feel all fifteen of these deserve to be mentioned in this feature.

Please note that there might be slight spoilers ahead, so stop watching if we start talking about a game you don’t want spoiled. In case you have any suggestions that we may have failed to mention, drop a comment down below.

Without further ado, let’s begin.

DEVIL’S HOUSE (METAL GEAR SOLID 5: THE PHANTOM PAIN)

Hideo Kojima and his Metal Gear games have had a long history of featuring some truly frightening sequences, and The Phantom Pain was obviously no different (in this regard, at least). One of the more disturbing scenes in the entire game comes in the location known as the Devil’s House. Seeing the dozens upon dozens of people who’re being experimented on by XOF in this dingy location can seriously give you the creeps, while the mere presence of Psycho Mantis and the Man on Fire also presents a tough challenge. Hell, there’s even a P.T. easter egg in here.
