Outlast vs Thief 3: Deadly Shadows
Outlast
Outlast is an intensely-terrifying, first-person survival horror game where you play the inquisitive investigative journalist Miles Upshur who taking a look at the shady Mount Massive Asylum that was recently reopened by the equally shifty Murkoff Corporation. The asylum has been operating in secrecy and you are there to find out why! Of course, when the truth is revealed to you... you might think twice about your eagerness to uncover it in the first place.Being a story-driven game, you can expect excellent narrative, apt sound effects and immersive graphics to help you push the story along. Unlike some horror games, you can't fight in this game - you are merely a journalist, after all. Thus, its gameplay is rather stealth-based with some elements of parkour. So, you'll need to rely on your awareness and instinct to decide when you'll need to hide and when to simply run for your life. Naturally, you wouldn't want to be caught by any of the asylum's terrifying, criminally-insane patients.
If you're looking for a game to scare the hell out of you before even Halloween comes around, Outlast is the perfect game to do that. Be sure to be prepared for a truly terrifying scare and keep the young uns far away.
Thief 3: Deadly Shadows
Thief 3: Deadly Shadows is the third installment of the popular, stealth-based action-adventure game, Thief, where you play as Garrett, the master thief that is rarely seen and never caught. With a large arsenal of thieves' tools to use, clever AI that will act on their suspicions and track evidence as well as fun, non-linear ways to approach an objective, the gameplay itself is incredible, as you might expect. And of course, you'll need to use whatever means necessary to sneak around, steal for the rich to line your own pockets and do other thief stuff. However, fate apparently has other plans for you and for Garrett...That being said, the Steam version of the game seem to be riddled with plenty of game-breaking bugs, making the game hardly playable even to the most ardent of fans. So, if you can get a CD copy of the game, then by all means... after all, it's a great game. But if Steam's the only choice for you, then you might want to just save up and buy something else instead.
