Undying is one of the most memorable and enjoyable games ever made.
User Rating: 9.4 | Clive Barker's Undying PC
Clive Barker is a known scaretator, by that, I mean someone who knows how to make something that scares you. He has made movies like Hellraiser, that, while not that impressive cinematically, are going to make you jump a few times. Well, unless of course you're a "tough guy" who isn't scared by anything. Undying is his first real venture into gaming, and now almost four years later, seems to be his last. I remember when I first bought this game, I didn't know what I was getting myself in to. I'm not too big on scary games, outside of the Resident Evil series. But this game, whoa, it's absolutely amazing. Undying may very well be the best horror-themed computer game around. The gameplay really stands out as the best part of Undying. It's in first-person, as if it were your typical FPS, however, the core element of attacking is through your unique weapons and cool magic effects. You have the ability to use mana throughout the game, sort of like a spell, and that often can do considerable damage on your enemies. Also, the standard offensive weapons are really good as well. There is a scythe, and even some missile cannon that's really good. The graphics and sound of Undying are also really good, particularly the voice-work. All of the characters have a unique touch to them and you'll likely remember each of them throughout your journey. Not to mention, the great sound effects and bone-chilling screams you'll hear in the mansion, or wherever you are. Overall, Undying is really just an excellent game. It's not only one of the best horror-themed computer games out there, it's one of the best computer games period. This is a game you'll be remembering for a long time after you beat it. It's too bad they haven't made a sequel yet.
