Horror games are a dime a dozen. Scary horror games, good horror games—well, those are much rarer.

Scary Video Games To Play. This is a collection of the scariest horror games of all time, compiled for us. From this point of view, Play With Me: Esacpe room stimulates the player to think in an alternative way, without forcing him to click everywhere. Step into the world inspired by the movie SAW. An investigative journalist, Robert Hawk, together with his wife Sara disappears in mysterious circumstances.

We’ve rounded up some of the best horror games ever made, running the gamut from big-budget extravaganzas released this very year to. Text adventures. I’m serious.Turn out the lights, put on some headphones, make sure you’ve got a spare pair of underwear nearby, and enjoy these terrifying spine-tinglers.Editor’s note: This list was updated on October 17, 2019 to add several new games and remove some older titles.

Bloober Team put out two games in 2019, and the one I'm more enamored with isn't a great fit for this list., a brilliant homage to classic Hollywood that I highly recommend—but it's not scary.Blair Witch ($30 on ) is pretty tense though. Taking on the found footage aesthetic of the films, you play as an ex-cop who joins a missing persons search—and ends up (as you'd expect) hopelessly lost in the woods. As ever, Bloober's got a neat gimmick to go with the action, scrubbing through film clips to change the state of the world.

That's a side course though. Really, this one's just about the tension of being alone in a forest labyrinth, with no way out. Sometimes the simple concepts are the scariest, yeah?

A remake of Ice Pick Lodge's 2004 oddity Pathologic, pseudo-sequel Pathologic 2 ($35 on ) preserves much of the original's subtle horror. There's a city. There's a plague. There's never enough time.And sure, there are more traditional horror elements—cryptic speeches, otherworldly entities. It's more about the experience though. Playing as 'The Haruspex,' you're ill-equipped to unravel Pathologic 2's mysteries, and that's part of the draw.

If horror games are about making the player feel weak and powerless, then Pathologic 2 is one of the most successful horror games of all time. Every success is hard-won, and any fleeting catharsis like a breath of fresh air for a dying man. Resident Evil 2 was one of the more neglected Resident Evil entries. Whereas both the debut and Resident Evil 4 have been remastered and even remade time and again, Resident Evil 2 was left to languor on the PlayStation for two decades. The Resident Evil 2 remake ($60 on ) is the bar for any and all remakes going forward, transplanting the story and atmosphere of the original into a modern engine.

A map that tracks your per-room progress is one of many smart tweaks here, as is ditching the iconic (but annoying) save ribbons for all but the hardest difficulties.Whether they remake Resident Evil 3 next or gin up a brand new entry, I'll be there—so long as it plays this smoothly. No Code's last project created horror from the mundane, nightmares unfolding while you spooled through microfiche or adjusted the dials on an X-ray machine. Observation ($25 on ) is slightly more active, but retains that analog feel. This time you're aboard a spaceship in Saturn's orbit—or rather, you are the spaceship. You're S.A.M., the ship's artificial intelligence, only afforded a window on the world through your various security cameras.I still think No Code described it best in their first pitch, when they said ' Observation is kind of 2001: A Space Odyssey—but you’re HAL.' Combine that with some Annihilation-esque cosmic horror,. Another one for fans of New Weird, Control ($60 on ) certainly isn't the most traditional horror game.

Hell, it's not even the most traditional horror game made by Remedy. That'd be Alan Wake, of course.But Control draws a lot of inspiration from The Southern Reach Trilogy, from SCP Foundation, from House of Leaves, from The X-Files and Twin Peaks—in other words, from a lot of sources that are horror or at least horror-adjacent. It's rarely scary but it's almost always creepy, a pervasive sense of wrongness that arises from every empty office, every blank concrete wall, and.well, probably from the people floating motionless in the air as well.It's the type of horror that sits in the back of your mind, like the veil of the world's been torn back just a bit to reveal the abyss gazing through. Freestyle 2 street basketball liu. In 2015 Supermassive adapted Telltale's style of branching cinematic storytelling to the horror genre. PlayStation 4 exclusive Until Dawn, a surprisingly entertaining pulp horror tale about a bunch of ill-fated teens.Luckily follow-up The Dark Pictures Anthology is funded by Bandai Namco, and thus free to come to the PC as well. ($20 on ), which retells the story of the real-world ghost ship Ourang Medan—albeit from the perspective of a fresh group of ill-fated twenty-somethings.

It's part adventure game and part film, as you make dialogue choices and decisions that could keep your characters alive, or result in everyone's death.The writing is fairly predictable, and some of the acting a bit wooden, but it's still a fun time trying to outsmart everyone's favorite horror tropes. And whatever you do, don't open the coffins.

What, are you trying to end up dead? New Blood's carved out a neat little niche, creating not just retro-inspired shooters but ones that are vaguely horror-inspired as well. Dusk ($20 on ) takes you through sinister farms and abandoned cityscapes, Amid Evil ($20 on ) to much weirder fantasy environs. But both are about moving a million miles an hour, shooting anything that moves, and opening a bunch of locked doors.

Maybe not so much—but only because you have more than enough weapons to defend yourself from all the horrors that await.If that's not enough, Blood: Fresh Supply ($10 on ) remasters one of New Blood's inspirations. Might as well grab all three and get gibbing. The first Evil Within was a mess of a game. Oh sure, it had brilliant ideas, but the execution was just dismal at times—clunky movement, a tedious and poorly paced opening, and a save system that caused more than one person I know to quit after a few hours.But The Evil Within 2 ($60 on ) is excellent—, even. The more open-world structure of some acts takes a bit of getting used to, but its more story-driven bits are home to jaw-dropping spectacle: people’s last moments frozen in time, unsettling architecture, supernatural hallucinations. All the ideas that made the first game worth the grind are back, and paired with a game that actually plays well this time. Once upon a time this slide was a battle between Dead by Daylight ($20 on ) and Friday the 13th, two horror games with a similar conceit: Asymmetric multiplayer, where four survivors have to band together and hold out while another player, the powerful monster, tries to kill them off.

“Think Evolve, but for sadists,” I wrote.But Dead by Daylight is your only option now. The Friday the 13th game got caught up in the ongoing lawsuit over the series rights, with the developers pretty much abandoning and saying “no new content” would be forthcoming.

Rest in peace, and all. You can still buy it on Steam, but you’re better off sticking with Dead by Daylight. Now we're digging into Frictional's truly great scares. A Victorian-era castle may not seem like the best setting for a horror game, but with Amnesia: The Dark Descent ($20 on ) Frictional took everything it learned from its earlier games, polished it, and released one of the scariest games of all time. You play as Daniel, an archeologist who's lost his memory and has only a letter—apparently written by him—to guide his escape from the mad castle and shadowy figures that stalk him.As of 2018, Amnesia's also been updated with a new difficulty level, harder than before. I wouldn't recommend it for new players, as true horror's found in thinking you might die and then escaping.

But for veterans, it's great to have a reason to revisit the castle.And while it's more polarizing, the sequel Machine for Pigs ($20 on ) is worth checking out, as long as you curb your expectations.
