With the much anticipated release of Alan Wake I felt it was time to put out a list of the horror games that any gamer worth their salt should play. Some of these games are hard to find, some are old, and some everyone ought to have already played. These are the thirteen games that define the horror genre and even to this day provide hours of entertainment that others try to match, but never quite meet. Though there are some obscure titles I skipped some such as Sweet Home a famicom game that featured a group of people exploring a mansion as traps and monsters kill them in gruesome ways, a real gem if you can find a rom of it. Still I felt that this list should be made up of both games people know and games they may not know. Without further ado, this is the list of 13 horror games you need to play.

Paul G Writes: "AFK Journey is a free open-world, role-playing gacha centered on creating your own team of powerful heroes. Here, you play as the reincarnation of the great mage Merlin, solving a mystery surrounding a malignant corruption.
On its surface, AFK Journey's gorgeous visuals, strategic gameplay and dynamic characters promise a wholly fun experience for new and old players alike. Journey even has a very easy pity system that makes getting rare heroes a breeze.
That said, AFK Journey still presents the usual flaws in big gacha entries, including a lack of accessibility features, bad voice direction and predatory microtransactions."
"The Brussels-based (Belgium) indie games developer DascuMaru (Jochen Mistiaen) today announced with great happiness and excitement that his retro-inspired and atmospheric horror game "The Tower on the Borderland", is coming to PC via Steam on May 20th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Above average list, but I wish they included Penumbra and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.
No 'Best Horror Games' list is complete without those two.
And wtf are Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead doing on there? Those are action games, not horror games.
Chapter 3; this game is so badass.
Seriously; go to your friends house who has it and play it.
Great list.
Dementium on the DS is pretty good.
I probably need to play a lot of these on this list.
Dead Space?
