Whereas the scariest factor about Motive Studio’s newest Lifeless House remake is that there’s nonetheless no affirmation of a Lifeless House 2 follow-up locked in for the longer term (make it occur, EA!), the Necromorphs on the coronary heart of the sci-fi horror expertise nonetheless have sufficient of an icky issue to present us a severe case of the heebie-jeebies.
With that in thoughts, then, we thought that now can be the right time to present our rating of the 12 scariest monsters within the Lifeless House remake. So, with out additional ado, seize your Plasma Cutters, reward Altman, and don your snazziest mining rig as we return to the haunted hallways of the USG Ishimura. Let’s go!
12.) The Leviathan
It’s principally only a huge butt gap, however with much more explosive yellow balls. And after writing that sentence, I abruptly have the urge to maneuver it straight as much as primary on this listing as a result of that appears like pure nightmare gas. However frankly, that might be dishonest.
As is, the Leviathan deserves a spot on this listing. Proper. At. The… backside. *ba dum tsh*
11.) Leapers
Okay, so Leapers aren’t too scary. Certain, they’ll chunk your head off. However I’ve seen people who can try this, too — metaphorically talking, in fact!
They love leaping round and making an attempt to present you heat cuddly hugs, so in a approach, they’re sort of like cute kangaroos… WHO WANT TO EAT YOUR FACE OFF!
10.) Slashers
Yeah, I do know. Slashers are ten a penny in your journey throughout the USG Ishimura, however they deserve a spot on this listing as a result of a) They’re so rattling spooky-looking, and b) They like to spit out molecular acid and rain on Isaac’s parade. How impolite!
As Necromorphs go, these are in all probability the most typical adversaries you’ll meet in Lifeless House, however they nonetheless have the distinctive expertise of constructing gamers go: “Urggghggh,” which is at all times a laudable trait in my e-book.
9.) Tentacle
It’s just a little unclear whether or not the Tentacle is its personal entity, or it’s simply an appendage of one of many greater bosses just like the Leviathan. That being mentioned, one factor is for positive: Getting crushed to dying by one isn’t any laughing matter.
Fortuitously, there’s a giant yellow pustule so that you can conveniently shoot at, which’ll foil the Lovecraftian beastie’s plans. Although you higher shoot it sharpish… as a result of its lair is simply round th– oh too late, you’re Tentacle meals.
8.) Infectors
Infectors look a bit like gigantic bats that may’t fly with the added terror of a mosquito-like proboscis protruding from their maw, which is sort of creepy sufficient for those who ask me. However the actually spooky factor about them is alluded to of their deal with. Yep, they love infecting lifeless stuff with nasty Necromorph DNA, therefore their identify.
If you happen to ever step right into a roomful of lifeless our bodies in Lifeless House, ensure to test these corners for these pesky Infectors, as a result of there’s doubtless one hidden within the shadows ready to re-animate these lifeless cadavers into one thing really horrifying. Or really divine, for those who ask a Unitologist.
7.) Brutes
These mini-bosses are your basic hulking bullet sponges. Whereas your conventional weaponry will really feel like water off a duck’s again for this particular Necromorph, the Flamethrower is a surefire approach of placing these foes six toes beneath.
See, whereas the Brute’s armored carapace offers the entrance of the monster a layer of safety, there’s a giant hole in its again that proves to be its Achilles’ heel. And the Flamethrower is the one weapon that may attain these weak spots in its again whereas taking this beast head-on. Or alternatively, you would use your Stasis, freeze the bugger, and peg it behind. The selection is yours!
6.) The Hive Thoughts
You’d assume the massive dangerous can be just a little increased on this listing, however it’s truly sort of a pushover when you already know what you’re doing. Sidestep its tentacle assaults and purpose for the — you guessed it! — huge yellow balls of goo, and the job’s a very good ‘un.
Sure, it will get a number of further factors for its sheer measurement, and there’s undoubtedly one thing The Factor-esque about its bodily design, however in terms of pure terror, there are many extra harrowing sights to behold in EA Motive’s newest remake.
5.) Guardians
Living proof: Affixed to partitions, these monstrosities are ostensibly massive chest cavities that spawn a number of appendages that have to be sliced aside as a way to put this creature down for good. After all, Guardians are motionless, so that they love spitting out wee Pods which will look cute, however are critically something however.
Whereas Guardians are really nightmarish to have a look at, it’s their resistance to conventional weapons that nets it a highish place on this listing. FYI: the ol’ Flamethrower is an efficient armament for this one.
4.) Pregnants
Talking of monsters that may be taken down successfully with a Flamethrower, the Pregnant desires to introduce itself. These swollen Necromorphs are a dastardly adversary as taking pictures them within the stomach will spill out a bunch of teensy spider-like critters that wish to nibble the flesh from off your bones.
Consequently, you’ll must strategically dismember its limbs if you wish to keep away from the Pregnant’s piñata-like present. As a result of it’s not a really considerate present if we’re being sincere. Kill it with fireplace!
3.) Twitchers
How do you make one thing scary, even scarier? Why, flip mentioned factor right into a twitching monster that may decelerate time, in fact!
These are primarily a variant of the Slashers above, however with extremely speedy velocity and longer talons. They’re the results of an contaminated soldier merging with their Stasis unit so that they’ll generally unwittingly decelerate time to present you an additional alternative to get rid of them effectively. Helpful!
2.) Dividers
Okay, we’re now stepping into true nightmare gas territory and the Dividers are main the cost! Not solely are they tall and spindly, which is well the creepiest physique you may ask for, however if you shoot at them, they break off into a number of smaller monsters. *shivers*
Plus, they’re known as Dividers and division is kind of probably the scariest of all math ideas. Don’t @ me!
1.) Hunters
And a giant congratulations goes to the Hunters, that are formally the scariest of all monsters in Lifeless House’s in depth menagerie of terrors. However why are they primary, I hear you ask?
Nicely, Hunters can regenerate their limbs, so that they’re just about unkillable with customary weapons. For that reason alone, you’ll wish to keep away from going toe-to-toe with this blighter as you’ll simply losing be your ammo. As an alternative, simply… RUN!
Phew! That’s a number of Lifeless House monsters, proper? However what say you, although? Do you agree or disagree with our picks? Pontificate within the ordinary place down under to tell us.
