THIS REVIEW IS IN ENGLISH FOR SPANISH HERE'S THE VIDEO: https://youtu.be/tBKCgc9FXrU (ESTA RESEÑA ES EN INGLÉS PARA ESPAÑOL AQUÍ ESTÁ EL VIDEO) Boogeyman Review Old-school fear: when a flashlight was enough Boogeyman, in its early days, knew how to play with that idea. A 2010s indie horror title that, like many others, rode the wave of Five Nights at Freddy’s: survive the nights without moving much, defending your small corner of the world with light and quick reflexes. And it worked. It didn’t need more. We didn’t want it to be more complex. We wanted fear, not side quests. Updates: the excess of wanting to improve Then came the updates. The changes. The attempts to make it bigger, to break the mold, to make it more unique. And that’s fine, really. I’m not criticizing it from a place of hate. I get it. We all want to evolve. But sometimes, in that attempt to be more, a game can lose what made it good in the first place. They added stuff: leaving the room, searching for batteries, walking down dark hallways with the tension that at any moment you could die. And while that may sound interesting, to me it felt more like a nuisance than an improvement. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m just an idiot who prefers these kinds of games to be simpler, more contained, more focused. But there was something beautiful in that original formula: staying still, watching the corners, listening for the creature, and trusting that your flashlight wouldn’t fail. It was pure design, pure timing, pure fear in small doses. Now, it feels like things have spread out too much. The game stretches further than it should. New mechanics don’t add as much as they should. It’s not bad, just different Don’t get me wrong. Boogeyman is still a good game. It has a creepy atmosphere, effective jump scares, and flawless sound design. I’m not trashing it or writing it off. I’m just saying that, for me, it was better before. Not more complete, not longer, not more replayable. Better in its humility, in its focus, in its concentrated fear. There’s value in not trying to do everything. In knowing when to stop. In not overloading a game that already worked like a broken clock, imperfect, but perfectly scary. Conclusion: lights that don’t shine the same The problem isn’t the game, it’s me. Because in its effort to grow, Boogeyman left behind that intimate horror that caught me the first time. It’s still worth recommending. It still delivers fear. But if you played the first version, maybe you’ll understand what I mean.

Yes, It’s old by now, but I think it can still be fun. To be honest, levels 1-4 don’t really feel like much of a challenge (except maybe the free roam if you’re bad with the door mechanic). I was just drinking tea in VR, and every time he made a sound, I flashed him while enjoying my orange and ginger mix. But starting with level five, it feels like he’s taken some kind of steroids and invited all his friends over it definitely gets more challenging after that. The game does have a few bugs, though. Most seem to happen more often in VR, like invisible walls depending on how I’m standing, switches that sometimes won’t work, and the weirdest (but coolest) bug I glitched outside the house and spent some time on the slide with the Boogeyman. Yup, I like the game :3

Good game about warding off a mysterious night demon. Little bullshit with the fact the ghost girl in the later explorations can spawn on you, but otherwise cool game with a nice concept, gameplay, and an interesting easter egg.
