Hey everyone! I’m a big fan of spooky games and I’m looking for some new ones to try. I was wondering what horror games you all like best. Do you prefer classic survival horror or more modern psychological thrillers? Any hidden gems I might not know about? Share your top picks and why you love them. I’m excited to hear your recommendations and maybe find my next favorite game to play with the lights off!
Alien: Isolation nails the sci-fi horror vibe.
Sneaking around with that Xenomorph hunting you is intense.
The retro-future aesthetic really adds to the immersion too.
Outlast gets my vote. Hiding from creepy enemies with just a camcorder is terrifying. The asylum setting really adds to the fear factor.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent still gives me chills.
The atmosphere is so tense and not being able to fight back makes it even scarier. I love how it messes with your mind too.
Definitely play it in the dark for maximum effect!
Silent Hill 2 is still my all-time favorite. The psychological horror and twisted story really get under your skin. Plus that fog and those creature designs are just unbeatable. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t played it.
Layers of Fear is a real trip. It’s more psychological horror than jump scares, which I dig. The whole game feels like you’re walking through a living painting that’s constantly shifting around you. Really messes with your head in the best way. Definitely play it with headphones on for the full effect.
