Worse Than Death is an interesting horror adventure that presents players with great atmosphere and astounding audio design, in a package that lasts just long enough to satisfy. It’s a great experience for any horror or suspense fan looking for a cozy afternoon of mystery and monsters.
GameCrate: "Horror in games has evolved massively throughout the decades. What was once considered scary — Friday the 13th on NES — is tame by today’s standards. And the foundations set for modern horror — Resident Evil and Silent Hill on PS1 — have led to incredible shifts in the genre. Because it evolves so drastically and branches out into several sub-genres, it’s impossible to narrow horror games’ hallowed grounds to just one title.
As Halloween draws near and GameCrate’s Spookytacular 2020 celebrations come to a close, we’re taking a look at 10 of the best horror games of all time. Note: These aren’t by any means the definitive best of the best, but we’d like to think they’re up there. Don’t see your favorites on the list? Let us know which horror games resonate with you the most in the comments!"
My personal favorites are Silent Hill 4, Outlast series, the original Condemned, Amnesia, Resident Evil 2 remake, Clive Barker's Undying, Alien: Isolation, STALKER (not really a horror game, but the few horror elements are highly intense), and Dead Space 2.
I'm not easily frightened, but the games I listed are the ones I remember becoming really stressful and unnerving to me, making me anxious to enter that room, or turn that corner. So they all definitely did their job.
The 2019 indie horror hit enters a new form with an upcoming physical release via Limited Run Games.
GameCrate: " These days, video games are able to tell better stories than ever before. Studios with backing from major publishers are putting out compelling narrative games, with Life Is Strange and Heavy Rain being major standouts. Indie developers are also creating storytelling magic and are at the forefront of these narrative experiences. It often seems as if there are just as many action-packed indie games as there are story-driven titles. The smaller size of these teams means more personal stories can be told, which ultimately leads to more relatable, highly compelling tales.
But what makes the stories from these indie studios so compelling, exactly? Is it just because they're relatable? Is the scope of certain stories more engaging than others? It could be a mix of both, but speaking with Worse Than Death developer Benjamin Rivers and Neo Cab Creative Lead Patrick Ewing, it's apparent that there's more to creating these games and their stories than we may know."
