I’m looking for some really good horror games to play and I need your suggestions. I love games that actually make you jump and keep you on edge the whole time. I’ve played a bunch already but I’m always hunting for new ones that will genuinely scare me. What are some titles that you think are absolutely amazing in the horror genre? I’m open to any type - whether it’s psychological horror, survival horror, or just straight up terrifying games. I want to hear about the ones that really stuck with you and maybe even gave you nightmares. Please share your top picks and maybe tell me why you think they’re so good. I’m ready to be scared!
Silent Hill 2 is a masterpiece that messes with your head in such a good way.
Visage is a serious nightmare fuel. It feels like you’re trapped in a haunted house movie, but you’re the one holding the controller. The atmosphere really gets under your skin, and the scares are all about tension, not just cheap jumps. It sticks with you long after you finish.
Outlast still makes me paranoid about dark hallways in real life
Dead Space is a classic that really got under my skin. The sound design does a great job of keeping you on edge, making you feel like something is always lurking around the corner.
Phasmophobia with friends is super intense and totally addictive. The ghosts keep you guessing, and the tension can spike at any moment.
