It's definitely a great intro to horror games in general, because it's scares are never cheap, and you can USUALLY see them coming from a while away. Just off the top of my head, and I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this, but there's a moment in the game where the game silently spawns a Zombie right behind you, and turning around to a place you already were to see a Zombie slowly coming at you startled me like crazy my first time playing.įast Zombies are definitely terrifying, but MOST of the time (there's an exception towards the end of the game) you can hear them well before they attack, so you can kinda brace yourself.Īctually the whole Ravenholm chapter in general is pretty scary the first time playing, but if you can make it through that, the rest of the game is not too bad.īottom line, I'd personally consider Half Life a horror game, but it's definitely on the lighter side of the genre. John Freeman then looked on the ground and found wepon so he pickd it up and fired fast at zombie goasts in front of a. Half Life 2 definitely has horror elements, and there are DEFINITELY times that made me freak for a second. It has to do with the darkness and huge numbers of zombies, and all versions, too. The part before they get in the elevator to me is the scariest. I always look stuff up even nowadays to make sure there aren't jumpscares. I have to say is episode 1, where Freeman and Alyx have to go through the parking. It's difficult for me to play a game fully if I know something is gonna freak me out. Despite being quite a bit older than you (22) I completely relate and understand being freaked out by jumpscares.
