Today's Critical Thought announces the 700 subscriber let's play pick and we talked about enemy design in horror games. As the genre moved to more action-based gameplay, the enemy designs have moved away from horror.

Good horror enemy design requires making fights more meaningful and less frequent. I also talked about the concept of an "Alpha Antagonist" and what it means for games like Alien Isolation.
