13 August 2019 20:44(My favourite comment on Infinite from my husband is: Infinite probably IS a horror game to anyone who feels about heights the way you feel about water - which is a profoundly shuddersome thing to think about. There is a couple of moments in the series where the city properly floods out; now, I find jump scares scary and I don't like surgical horror, but longtime readers will be aware of how I feel about the sea. It's interesting how the psychological horror of Rapture is real, but somehow stored in another part of my brain to running across flooding rooms and corridors groaning with the weight of water and watching sharks pass overhead. I actually went to get my husband to complete the level for me, but he was meditating - so I did it, pausing every six seconds or so to breathe deep and stop hyperventilating, and then another six seconds and another, to get out of this one sequence which was an escape chase and which, i suppose, couldn't actually kill you. So yes, I imagine that if you don't like heights, and it's not just a dislike but a panic which takes over your blood, I suppose Infinite is actually unplayable.
And I think there are arguably other horror elements in Infinite, it's just not...intended provoke a fear reaction with every element of its design throughout the game.)
