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.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is continuing its early access period with a class system overhaul that will give players more options when it comes to pushing back the bugs.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "My overall feelings about Phantom Fury are mixed. It’s far from being a bad game, mind you. There’s quite a bit to like about it, such as its Half-Life-esque presentation and expansive levels. With that being said, it’s not as over-the-top, and as a result, entertaining, as its predecessor, which featured better combat sections and more replayability. It does scratch a very specific itch. If you want to play something that vaguely resembles the original Half-Life in scope and gameplay, I think that Phantom Fury can satiate said niche."
Everything about The Forgotten Kingdom feels like Gunfire Games simply took what was great and made it even better.
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?
