10 horror games that don't rely on jump scares

GR writes: For many, jump scares feel like the lowest form of fright. B-movie slashers, stupid Flash animations, and unsubtle horror games all tend to resort to the same cheap tactic: luring you into a false sense of security with a lengthy silent segment, before throwing a big freaky monster at you and splitting your ears with a loud noise. Some gamers get a kick out of these kinds of startling moments; others find them stressful, tedious, or laughably dumb. There's a distinct difference between being shocked and being scared, and far too many games rely on the former.

There's something to be said for a horror experience that can deeply unsettle you, without the need for a cheap "OOGA BOOGA" moment every 15 minutes. Maybe the plot is profoundly disturbing; maybe the foreboding ambience instills in you an impending, nameless dread.

For Konami to release the numbers i assume it means it's a success. They better let bloober team make more silent hill remakes or a new silent hill.

Still need to buy it. Want to buy new, physical, but can't really justify it right now.
