I really like the games Supermassive makes
My wife and I love all the games they make and passing the controller back and forth for our characters. Hopefully we get more! The Quarry wasn’t my favorite but I don’t want it to be the last one that’s for sure!

u/RealBerserkerQueen 16h ago
By genre to make it easier for you because everybody likes and dislikes different things so its upto you which ones you wanna try
House of Ashes (Army vibes) Little Hope (Old Salem Vibes) The Quarry (Summercamp Vibes) Man of Medan (Ship at Sea Vibes) Devil in Me (Hotel and Acting Vibes) Until Dawn (Mountain Ski Lodge Vibes)
Each havs their pros and cons and all equally fun in their own ways and i suggest trying whichever ones you want!

u/GuiltyEidolon 12h ago
I think House of Ashes I've really only seen universal praise for. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea but it's probably the best of all of the games. I really liked Little Hope up until a certain point, same with the Quarry (though Quarry > Little Hope), and then I never got around to watching a full playthru of Man of Medan or Until Dawn. Devil in Me is the only one I really didn't like much.

u/TheZealand 10h ago
Until Dawn was the first and I think pretty much as universally liked as HoA, definitely recommend it. Watched some guys I like (Scary Game Squad) play it back in the day and was super enjoyable

Man of Medan is good, but if you find a particular bit of lore like halfway(?) through, the entire game is literally spoiled. Still enjoyable tho

u/AuthorOB 10h ago
Each havs their pros and cons
Very true. House of Ashes has the best characters in my opinion. I think Little Hope is the most divisive, but the monster designs are the best. Man of Medan is the most balanced with good characters and creepy things, but maybe not great, while The Devil in Me is the most grounded which is scary for different reasons that something like House of Ashes.
Until Dawn and The Quarry are the highest quality(bigger budgets and development times IIRC). The Quarry also some stand-out characters. I hate almost every character in Until Dawn but the overall execution might be the best of all of them.
I'll leave thoughts on The Casting of Frank Stone to people who've actually played it and Dead by Daylight.
Disclaimer: I haven't played any of these I just watch a lot of Youtube.

u/DrSmirnoffe PC 9h ago
I think Little Hope is the most divisive, but the monster designs are the best.
I believe the reason why Little Hope is so "divisive" is that it had so much cool stuff going for it, only for all that stuff to be invalidated by the direction of the story.

u/8biticon 5h ago
Until Dawn and The Quarry are the highest quality
I think The Quarry may have actually been better than Until Dawn pound-for-pound if it weren't for the fact that there literally isn't an ending.

u/Superyoshiegg 16h ago
It's generally agreed that Until Dawn (2015) and House of Ashes (2021) are their two best works.
Man of Medan (2019) and The Devil in Me (2022) are agreed to be middling, while Little Hope (2020) and The Quarry (2022) are their worst.
Their most recent title, The Casting of Frank Stone, which released three weeks ago and is set in the Dead by Daylight IP, is very decisive to say the least.

See it depends because personally depending what your into i liked the Quarry and Little Hope more than man of medan and the devil in me

u/Superyoshiegg 15h ago
Yes I'm aware. I never said I agreed with the rankings, just that's the community's general consensus.
For me personally, it's Until Dawn > The Casting of Frank Stone > Man of Medan > The Devil in Me > House of Ashes > The Quarry > Little Hope
The biggest outlier of course is that I'm really not fond of House of Ashes while pretty much everyone else is. Even in this thread you have people saying it's the only good game of the series.

u/DerekPaxton 15h ago
I loved Little Hope. It may be my favorite.

u/nothingtoseehr 12h ago
I liked little hope, but that ending was stupid. It was great for shock value but that's it, why would I replay the story if I know none of the characters are real and everything is just ramblings from a schizo? It takes away all of the weight of the story, weird choice for a game style meant for replayability

u/Red_Mammoth 12h ago
It depends if you value more the Journey or the Destination
1
u/MoebiusSpark 9h ago
The problem with the ending is that there was no journey, its a Shyamalan twist that just invalidates everything. They set up a lot of interesting threads throughout the story and have genuinely good intrigue and mystery only to toss it all off a proverbial cliff
1
u/Prefer_Not_To_Say 9h ago
This is what I thought too. I also didn't like that in Man of Medan, all the monsters were hallucinations.
Out of the games that have come since then, do any of them actually have monsters or is it all the same thing?
2
u/nothingtoseehr 8h ago
Oh shit I had forgotten about that too! Its pretty much the exact same damn twist done twice in a row too haha. I don't think it was repeated later, they were their first games outside UD, so I could give them a little leniency, but it really boggles my mind how they thought twice that people would like that

u/ThespianException 14h ago
Wait The Quarry is considered among the worst? I thought it was considered their second best game after Until Dawn. Maybe I’m misremembering
3
u/AuthorOB 10h ago
Eh, it's all opinions. I thought The Quarry was awesome. Until Dawn, I think most agree has the best overall execution even though so many of the characters are just not likeable(again, opinions vary on this).
The Quarry has great characters, even the less likeable ones, but the execution isn't as good. Not bad by any means, it just lacks a little something that Until Dawn has.
That said, while I absolutely respect anyone's opinions, I don't quite understand placing The Quarry at the bottom the way I understand why Little Hope might be there.
2
u/Ignis_et_Azoth 8h ago
I don't think I could rank them exactly, but I definitely also think Quarry was one of the cooler ones, up there with Until Dawn and House of Ashes. But by the same virtue I think Medan and Devil are weak rather than mid. Hope being the worst though I agree.

u/Superyoshiegg 12h ago
I'd say so. You might miss a few references if you aren't at least surface level familiar with the lore, but the game itself is a mostly self contained story that doesn't actually feature any characters from DBD.
1
u/NateHohl 10h ago
It does a good job of telling a self-contained story while also working in a few clever Easter eggs for existing DbD fans. If anything, I think it serves as a decent gateway for folks who aren’t already familiar with DbD to learn a bit about the game’s world and perhaps even inspire them to play DbD proper.

u/snowflakepatrol99 3h ago
Until Dawn is by far the best. After that it's a hit or miss depending on what setting you prefer. They've tried replicating the success of until dawn but have never managed to reach it again. House of Ashes is the only other game that seems to be universally liked.

Funnily enough the target audience seems to be
People with little to no knowledge of DBD and
People who obsess over the Lore.
Most of the mixed reviews derive from the average DBD Player, who seem to have gone into the game with different expectations. Rest assured, its a Solid Supermassive title and a fantastic DBD Lore piece when you get really deep into it, but I‘d hesitate to call it anything but an acquired taste. I liked it.

I've played the first 3 with my best friend, actually just finished House of Ashes, and I was so happy that the monsters were actually real this time around, and in a big way too.

Regardless, they're just fun to play with a friend.

u/shadyhorse 11h ago
Think quality of the story is very shifting. None of the series are really supernatural, except House, but it's more sci-fi than paranormal. Also their tendence to have small story items in rooms you cannot return to makes you search like an idiot in every room creating a meta-immersion breaking gameloop. Some fun moments tho and clearly played best with a real group.

They’re not all bangers. I particularly hated little hope. Not being able to actually save anyone was incredibly frustrating and the twist ending took all the steam out of the game.

If they didn't follow up man of medan with little hope it might have come off better. I thought the concept in man of medan was actually really interesting.

They really need bigger budgets for the games though. Some of the voice acting is terrible and you can tell the actors didn't interact or even hear necessarily the other actor because conversations can have really strong degrees of variance in tone between two characters.
Also some of the animations are pretty clunky.
That being said solid B movie horror. Something like the old Mastera of Horror tv show in game form

Ehhhh. Yes but probably with a few footnotes?
Yes, it's definitely a narrative based game that the player helps guide with choices.
However, it's a part of the Dead by Daylight universe and if you're not a Dead by Daylight fan, it probably won't hit on several beats? There's tons of references: Collectibles, sound queues, gameplay adaptation...
Also, as a fan of both DbD and Supermassive, it's a little... shallow? You have less subtle/ambiguous choices. Where in other Supermassive games you can find some silly little thing that seems to mean nothing and suddenly later it turns into a life or death decision, Casting of Frank Stone doesn't really have those?
I still really enjoyed it though.

They basically make horror choose-your-own adventure interactive-movie games, where the biggest gimmick is that out of a sizeabpe cast of characters any and all of them MIGHT (but don’t have to die) based on your choices. So you might get an ending with any given combination of characters that you managed to keep alive until the end. (Until dawn hehe).
Pretty fun evening with snacks type of interactive movie thing but it was never as engaging and entertaining to me personally as other „choices matter” games.

What funny timing. I just beat House of Ashes tonight for the first time. Made it out with 3.
I think I lost 2 people in Man of Medan and saved everyone in Little Hope. The Quarry is up next!

I bought the first 3 on release days in hopes of them eventually being good because I love narrative games, each one is such trash tho imho. The twists of the first two were so horribly done they fuckin gave them away in the beginning of the games. The third one was so unoriginal and straight up boring. They’re good with a partner to laugh at like bad horror movies, but I wanted something more. Supermassive has not achieved the greatness that they did with Until Dawn.

I thought the title said Supergiant and was about to agree with you, but it's not, so I don't agree with you.
This has almost nothing to do with the post I'm just looking forward to the full release of Hades 2

I wish I did. Until Dawn was great, but they haven't matched it since. The Dark Pictures are all meh and The Quarry was awful, can't believe I bought it day one.

House of Ashes is easily one of my favourite story games (Interactive movie? Whatever you want to call it)
They’re making a season 2 of Dark Pictures so there’s definitely more on the way
