Slender

9.5/10 - Slender: The Eight Pages is a masterclass in minimalist horror. With no combat and simple visuals, it builds relentless tension through atmosphere and sound design. The forest feels suffocating, and every page collected raises the stakes. Its simplicity is its strength, proving fear doesn’t need complexity. A haunting, unforgettable indie experience.

This was the first slender game I had played, I must admit, the tension of the situation was really getting to me. I enjoyed the entire gameplay, even if I died! I will always love the slender games, they never get out of fashion for me.

Slender is a terrifying video game, although it doesn't contain much of impressive graphics or any top details, the atmosphere itself, so real, it will scare you. It is like Blair Witch but with a tall creepy, not to forget, FACELESS man is after you called Slender, when you collect the first page, a soundtrack starts increasingly bugging you, your adrenaline raises page by page, and when you collect all of them, you are one of the few lucky people, winners but stuck in nightmares and shock.

The perfect game to pic up everytime you want to get scared for a few minutes. I can´t give it a higher score than 7 as it is very short and not much in it.

An overall effective game. The jump-scares have gotten me many times. But the more I played it the more I got used to it and the jump scares got less effective. 7/10 (good)

Why people love this game so much I shall never know. It isn't scary at all (y'know, the ONE DAMN THING you ask from a horror game), the gameplay is so slow paced I would rather watch snails race speedwise, but the gameplay is decent and somewhat tricky and I was obsessed with this at one short period in time, and due to those things, Slender: The Eight Pages rates a 4/10.

Overrated, overrated and overrated. This game will scare you once, for that one time, the game is great at what it does. Play it a second time and... no cigar, slenderman (in itself a very good concept) becomes oh too familiar, even the jump scares become somewhat boring. The figure itself isn't actually scary either- seriously look at him (or her)... Compared to other horror games, it is blown out of the water.
