  1. 2019 and I'm still a huge fan of this game, with that being said I give this game a 10/10 for giving me hell of a time to play and giving some of the best scares by the Slender himself????

  2. The game is OK, and for three bucks on the PlayStation network right now, only a 1.50 for PS plus members it's not a bad deal. If I remember correctly when I beat it at my friends house i unlocked the original game at the end too, there's definitely a couple dollars of value.

  3. Did you know that if you right click, the flashlight will focus in more? Did you also know that doing this will temporarily blind the mutant kid in the mining level, making that level far less punishingly difficult? IGNorance.

  4. This is hugely pessimistic… even IGN's own community rated it 8.3 against their 6.5.
    The developers didn't sell the game on anything more than the original mechanics and collectible set-up, in fact they stuck to it on purpose, and what they did give us was a much more fleshed out horror experience in some new and genuinely terrifying environments and scenarios, with a dark and mysterious plot line to ponder.
    Nor, by the way, are the ghoulish kids in the abandoned mine that difficult to circumvent. Most players only die once or twice before they've got their behavior figured out. Most of us got through the quite simple campaign without feeling "arbitrarily punished." Its also strange to call this game a "muck of repetititve tasks" whilst the first game sports an even simpler series of task. In fact its only a single series: find all the pages. You honestly think players who thought that the first game wasn't repetitive will get bored playing this?

  5. The Eight Pages wasn't "New and experimental." SCP Containment Breach came out before it. How come almost nobody praised that game but EVERYBODY LOVED Slender: The Eight Pages.

    Also, if you actually find Slender scary while he stands still and looks at you, then you're an idiot. Look, I understand that it might be a bit creepy if you read the lore, but nothing is explained about Slender IN-GAME. This means that the three people who were credited for the story completely failed. Why should the player be scared of Slender if all they know is that he stands there and stares?

    I understand what the developers were trying to do. They wanted to recapture the craze that happened with The Eight Pages. But the thing about that game was that it came out in a time where Slender was relatively new and probably only rose in popularity because it was played by famous youtubers like Pewdiepie. It wasn't scary either (or really even that good).

    All in all, I haven't encountered a Slender game in existence that is truly terrifying or even scary after the first time you see Slender. Maybe the SOUND catches you off guard, but it isn't worthy of the reactions that we see from youtubers trying to milk the money train.

  6.     My personal thoughts was that the game was actually rather too easy for me and at no point did I get the impression that it was impossible or unfair. I agree that the mechanics could have been better but they were not that bad either. I would very much like to see another Slender game with a longer storyline and possibly more startling content. As for this game receiving a 6.5 rating by IGN makes me question their critiquing skills in general. Due to this game having a low price of approximately 10 dollars, it should be rated in a different category than that of a fully priced 60 dollar game. The rating should be relative to other games with the same general parameters this game had. With all that in mind I would give this game a 9 out of 10 star rating. Btw this game is as scary if not more scary than any horror game I have played so far and to put that into perspective I have played: FEAR, 5 nights at freddy's, Silent hill, The Grudge (briefly due to poor controls), DOOM, Dead Space, Condemned, and probably more that I just don't remember off hand. My point being is that this game is worth buying and that this game was not rated accurately by my standards.          

  7. I liked this game but it could've been so much more I thought, I really hope that if there is a sequel that they can improve upon it because it does have potential to be a great series.

  8. Eh, I'll pass. I was interested in the lore when I found out about Slenderman thanks to an easter egg in Watch Dogs, but this game looks like crap. I doubt I'd get much enjoyment out of it. 

  9. As a HUGE fan of the horror video game genre, and a 25 year old adult…I still find it difficult, and honestly unnerving to play a game where the subject matter was recently part of the context of a disturbing, and very lamentable court case involving some young women. These young women killed b/c of 'Slender Man'. I know this is the exception rather than the norm, but I still feel weird and uncomfortable. I vacillate between 'No, video games do not encourage violence" and "Well, let's just be honest. The effects of violent and horrific video games cannot be ignored." People need to stop seeking entertainment at the cost of society's ills. Consenting and well informed adults may do as they please, but when a game is labeled Mature (M), then nobody under 18 needs to have access to it. Annnnd, let's be honest. This game indicates that it is rated Teen (T). Seriously?! This is a game that should be intended for an emotionally mature(isn) audience.
