I’m looking for some intense cosmic horror games that go beyond just creepy themes and actually let you battle bizarre, otherworldly entities. A specific example I’m fond of is the Wrath of the Gods addon for Calamity Terraria, which has that flashy, engaging combat, but I want something a bit more polished than a mod in a sandbox game. I’ve beaten Elden Ring along with its DLC, and I just started Bloodborne—I’ve heard mixed reviews about its connection to what I’m after, but so far it’s not hitting all the notes I’m hoping for. What other games fit this description?

Definitely take a look at ‘Salt and Sanctuary’ if you enjoy action RPGs. It has a dark atmosphere and some really cool boss fights that fit the cosmic horror vibe.
Definitely keep pushing through Bloodborne! It’s the real deal when it comes to cosmic horror; nothing compares once you dive deeper into its mechanics and story. Trust me, you’ll find that it really captures the essence you’re looking for.
Check out ‘Dredge’! It’s got some solid Lovecraftian vibes and the gameplay is fantastic. You navigate a fishing boat while uncovering weird horrors beneath the waves—super engaging!
For a survival twist, try ‘Alien: Isolation’. You mostly evade the Alien, which makes every encounter feel intense. The AI is smart and learns your patterns, enhancing that cosmic tension. It might not be pure combat, but the survival aspect is really thrilling!
If you enjoy old-school shooters, give ‘Forgive Me Father’ a go. It’s got that Lovecraftian theme with cool comic-style visuals. Plus, each act culminates in challenging boss fights that might scratch that itch for fighting cosmic threats!
Sounds tempting! How’s the replay value on it?
Totally agree! It’s a great combination of exploration and horror. I can’t get enough of the creepy atmosphere!
