Outlast

Yeah, it's a matter of opinion. I think we disagreed about this before. :p But I honestly hate the music of Dead Space as it doesn't evoke a sense of vulnerability, and Outlast's is too reminiscent of that to work.

I don't actually hate the game itself, as I don't have any stake in doing so. I just don't feel like it was worth purchasing that along with AMFP, based off the videos released of it.

Okay.

I am however interested in discussing the music a bit more if you are up for it. Depending on what you feel evokes vulnerability, I'm pretty sure I agree Dead Space's score does not evoke it to a great extent - which is not actually its goal as far as I can tell. It's an action game first and horror game second. Truth be told I didn't think the game was that good but I quite enjoyed the music. It's impressively detailed for an AAA game and it's performed by real musicians (I don't remember it having any post-FX either, apart from the necessary stuff). Even if you think it is wildly inappropriate, and I tend to think it is quite appropriate, the music itself is surely not bad.

Concerning Outlast, I found the music that plays when the

At worst it's forgettable, but I really don't see how you find it ineffective. As I said I don't find it amazing, it has many problems, but most horror games have worse scores.
