I started watching a playthrough of the Fatal Frame 2 Re-Remake (because I cannot play horror but love the franchise) and I can't believe how beautiful it is! It's even more immersive than the Wii version. The early section when you first step into the house feels like you're actually stepping into it as the player. It's horrifying and I love it.
Over a decade ago now, there was a summer where every week I had game days with my partner at the time and my older brother, who I credit with getting me into video games growing up. We worked our way through the first 3 Fatal Frame games, periodically alternating who played (I did not take the controller much lmao). I didn't realise how nostalgic 2 would feel to me now. When Mayu gets in Mio's way and she makes her noise of fright I can still hear my brother startling and shaking the controllers in fear. 😂 It was so much fun and I love that memory now!
Any other Fatal Frame appreciators out there? Which one is your favourite?
I think I'd pick 3 even though 2 is really ingrained in my memory, because the story and gameplay are so unique in that one imo. The suspenseful build up of unsettling moments is done so beautifully.
