My rank of all the major games
I will say, I loved all the games so this isn’t me saying the lower ones are bad! But here’s my personal take
Until Dawn: obviously since it’s the parent of all these games, it will be first. It was the first one ever, the characters and the story were brilliant and there were genuine moments where you felt the utter panic of what happens next
The Quarry: unpopular opinion but its VERY CLOSE to fighting for the same spot as Until Dawn for me. Now ofc the ending may have been a little rushed but it took the paths Until Dawn offered and cranked it up more. The characters were very fun, the story was cool, the vibe was campy and this time around there were so many paths, even more than Alive or Dead, Infected being another status for the characters.
House of Ashes: by far the most action packed and thrilling. The characters were all multifaceted as the above games, the story was packed and action paced, the monsters were interesting and horrifying. And not to mention the badass levels going through the roof
The Devil in Me: Idk why people hated this one. Sure the puzzles were ever so slightly frustrating but the premise of it was awesome. The mind games, the traps, it got me second guessing everything at every turn. Though I admit some aspects weren’t necessary, like Du’Met being unkillable, plot armor and the characters being a bit irrational. But was still very fun
Man of Medan: though shorter and more straightforward than the previous mentioned, I loved it. The characters were all very fun and I genuinely loved the twist and the horror of it. To me, this is the kind of horror that really gets me. There’s nothing scarier than not trusting your own mind.
Little Hope: I must say, though much like everyone I was gobsmacked by the twist, once you get past it, it’s the most heartbreaking story of the series. The set up was nice, though I must say I would prefer if it stuck to its guns that it was some sort of doppelgänger curse. Either way tho, what a tragedy.
