10 Video Game Ideas We're GLAD Got Cut

10. Stalking Anglerfish - The Outer Wilds

Anyone who has played The Outer Wilds would agree that this space-faring adventure is a mostly peaceful game. That said, if you bring up Dark Bramble, you'll see those same folks sweat. Why? Because they'll be thinking about those damn Anglerfish. 

These alien menaces are terrifying creatures that devour any explorers they hear. Thankfully, they only appear on the strange planetary remnant, Dark Bramble, meaning you never have to worry about them unless you're there. However, that wasn't the case in the game's pre-alpha build. 

Dark Bramble was a very different place before the game moved out of the prototype stage. The biggest difference was that the Anglerfish could leave the planet and stalk the player across the system. Many gamers would have put their controllers down forever if that had stayed until the final release, as these relentless beasts are anxiety-inducing to the max. 

Here's a little message to the Outer Wilds devs - screw you for creating these monsters in the first place, but thank you for keeping them in one place.
