Hey everyone! I’m a big fan of spooky games and I’ve got quite a few in my library. I’m always on the lookout for more though. What are some of your favorite horror or horror-like games? I’d love to hear what titles you’ve got and maybe find some new ones to try out. It’s that time of year when I’m in the mood for a good scare, so let’s share our top picks! What games give you the creeps in a good way?
SOMA is a mind-bender. The underwater setting and existential horror really got to me. Not many jumpscares, but the story and atmosphere are top-notch creepy. Definitely worth checking out if you want something different.
Silent Hill 3 still gives me chills. Those creepy nurses and that messed up atmosphere stick with you long after you’re done playing.
Dead Space is a classic.
Creepy space station, scary monsters, and that plasma cutter is so satisfying.
Really nails the sci-fi horror vibe.
I’ve got a bunch of horror games, but my all-time favorites are Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Outlast. They really nail that feeling of being helpless and hunted. Layers of Fear is another good one if you’re into psychological horror. And for something a bit different, Phasmophobia is great for multiplayer scares. What about you guys? Any hidden gems I should check out?
Alien: Isolation is one I keep coming back to. The constant tension and that smart AI xenomorph really get under your skin. Silent Hill 2 is an oldie but a goodie too. Something about that foggy town just creeps me out every time.
