Pixels or Death's Adam Harshberger talks about his time spent playing Amnesia: Dark Descent, and the impact it had on his psyche:
"I don’t really know what to make of this. What does it mean? Is this extreme brand of immersion the hallmark of a videogame masterpiece? Quite possibly, but it isn’t something that every game should aim to do; nor should we want games to overwrite our flesh and bones. Trust me, it’s weird. Is art still art when it becomes an experience? Can an experience be art?"
Enter a world of terror and darkness with this list comprising the best horror games of all time, featuring old and new titles.
Was playing Alien: Isolation again a few weeks ago, still holds up and the AI is incredible.
F.E.A.R. was another amazing game, shame the series went downhill with 2 and then fell off entirely with F3AR.
Couldn’t get into Fatal Frame, bought the remaster on PS5 and just…couldn’t.

GameSpew: The Steam Halloween Sale is in full swing, packed with some of the best horror games the format has seen. Here's our pick of the best.
yay, more Amnesia recognition. i can't wait for that new game supposedly coming out this fall, it's going to be similar in atmosphere and scares to Amnesia from what i've seen. can't remember the name of it.
anyways, this is horror done right. actual horror, actual atmosphere, the feeling of trying to survive against enemies you have no hope of killing.
stuff like Dead Space and FEAR? please. they can startle you at times, sure, and even creep you out, but they aren't real horror like Amnesia.
I gotta check this out. Sounds like a true horror game. I'm tired of waiting for SH to return to it's glory days.
I only played like an hour, but i agree.
