Top 5 Horror Games

It's a small list for now until I complete more of this genre.

Showing 1-5 of 5 items

Dead Space

1. Dead Space

A masterclass is atmosphere and body horror. Nothing comes close to me for an isolated horror experience.

Resident Evil 4

2. Resident Evil 4

Admitedly more action oriented than its previous incarnations, Resi 4 allowed the series to evolve beyond what came before and still has plenty of scares along the way.

Darkwood

3. Darkwood

One of two games on this list I haven't completed. Just a few hours with the game was enough to make me feel anxious and sick. The atmosphere to this game is intense and I feel it deserves a spot here for that very reason.

Alien: Isolation

4. Alien: Isolation

The other horror game I havent completed. Suffice to say, once the titular Alien is introduced here the entire game shifts into a constant game of cat and mouse. It's exhausting and will induce panic regularly but it's brilliant because of that very reason.

BioShock

5. BioShock
