What Benny Needs: Outlast by Red Barrels Games
Why Benny Needs This: Benny has found a way to harness the power of dragon honey and sheer will to make his body into the perfect human machine. Not only does he get smarter and stronger with every breath that he takes, he can turn food into energy instantaneously because his digestive system is composed of eyeglass parts , hydrochloric acid, and hellfire. But everybody has to take a big ol' dump sometimes. How does Benny do it? He plays horror games to try to scare the poop out. Keep in mind that Benny himself doesn't get scared, nor does he lack the capability to poop; his GI tract is in perfect working order. It's just that the bacteria in his poop find that the safest and most habitable place in the world is in Benny's bowels. Yes, that's right, shit is scared to leave Benny's body because Benny's body is a fortress of fortitude. Occasionally, when he has to evacuate his bowels, he literally has to scare the shit out of himself.
Red Barrels Games has provided the perfect game for doing just that. In it you play a journalist named Miles Upshur (perfect name for someone that will eventually be miles up shit's creek) and you're really nosey. You heard about some sketchy goings on at Mount Massive Asylum and of course being the idiot you are decide to investigate it armed with nothing but your own fear and a digital camera. Once inside, there is no escape, there is only running and hiding, which you will be doing a lot of through your hand-covered eyes. This game is scary as hell. Did you peep the trailer? Are you dead yet?
Outlast is available now via STEAM on the PC and is the best damned survival-horror game out now on the market. I dare you to play it with the lights off, with clean underwear on.Â
