Outlast vs Thief Gold
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 Gold
Thief Gold is the very first Thief game in the franchise and it is possibly the most revolutionary back in the day. With stealth as the core of its gameplay, you'll need to use whatever tools (blackjack, sword, and a variety of arrows) and skills you have to steal goods and information alike while you gradually uncover the secret agendas of various important people in a story of deception and vengeance. The game even has advanced enemies that are more aware than most, can sound the dreaded alarms, and can communicate with other enemies to relay information.Thief Gold is a classic stealth game that many modern games are inspired by. However, the game might not have aged as well, and the graphics may put you off. Thankfully there are mods, right? Well, if you've got the chance and you love stealth games, this is definitely a game you should try.
