P.T. earns its scares through pacing, starting off with the most mundane location I've ever seen in a videogame, and slowly becoming a blood red nightmare filled with disturbing images.

Bringing the thrills of a fast-paced game without sacrificing the atmosphere of slower burn scares, and using jump scares but never as a crutch, Outlast is the most exhilarating game I've ever played.
