There’s a science that alarm sounds stress us out because we associate the noise with the horrible feeling of having our sleep disturbed and getting out of bed. This though gives me Vietnam-style flashbacks to my inaccurate Houndmaster who’d end up sucking his own thumb if he fell into a barrel of tits.
It makes me mildly panic as suppressed memories of accidentally stumbling into Thing From the Stars in the middle of a Medium Long Weald expedition. My Level 4 Antiquarian and Grave Robber did not return from that expedition.
I am 33. I play since 1990 according to my parents. I play a lot, and always used to play a lot in the past as well. I experienced most of the mainstream consoles, as well as Neo-Geo, dreamcast, ps2 saturn snes genesis....pc gaming as well in the 90's... and let me tell you this straight: this game has one of the best atmosphere I have ever witnessed.
It leans hard into the Lovecraft influences, especially with the rich and vivid flavor text, does not hold your hand, and makes insanity a thing to fear more than death. This and Bloodborne do an excellent job at getting at that part of what makes Lovecraft's mythos so good.
The Cove Combat music must be my favourite soundtrack in the game! It gives player a mood to fight rather than cry over getting critted by "pelagic fishman-folk" ;)
The entire game plays and feels like a gothic nightmare. It’s incredible, and it isn’t even that flashy or flamboyant with its visuals. I’ve never played another game nearly as epic or teeth-grindingly stressful as Darkest Dungeon.
...and the ceaseless squeals of the swine folk, closing in from all around. Almost like they're lurking just beyond the wall, the only thing keeping them at bay is themselves, squabbling over who gets to eat your party first.
@@punishedredruby that's the thing with this game, if you ragequit you come back stronger and with a different mentality. I think that's the right way to play DD, overrun the game and you will get more and more stress.
0:16 is my favourite moment, especially when you are fighting in low light vs dozens of creatures, music goes like evil laughter of everything around you.
That moment when you are at low health and enemies are getting crits, while the stress is about to hit 100 in the next few turns, the light is low and you have to choose beetwen to try to scape or fight for the life of your heroes. This soundtrack is what you feel at that moment.
Damn, Return to the Warrens is my favourite, so dark and bestial, I love it. Feels like you're overruned, surrounded by a swarm of belching, howling, growling monsters. It's perfect to work on a urgent project !
I can confirm that I love and hate this game at the same time, and I cannot wait to play the recently released Darkest Dungeon 2, which looks completely SICK!
@@The_Red_Zealot I mean the music's amazing, tho it was already my third or fourth time picking up the game since I first played it when I made the new comment.
I was playing DND with my brother and friends and we were listening to the soundtrack and as we entered a dungeon a huge wolf monster started attacking us and this song kicked in when he popped out.
This really came in clutch in our D&D campaign when we got trapped in a single file corridor with a room full of 20 undead on one side and a horde of giant rats on the other side.
