"Soma, designer Ian Thomas told me, is a game about identity. Its horror comes not from monster closets or boo scares, but from questions about self and humanity that will haunt you the more you ponder them. Frictional Games, who previously brought us Amnesia and Penumbra, certainly knows how to get under a player’s skin and wriggle around like some kind of awful brain-eating worm - but Soma seemed quite ordinary while I was playing it. As Simon, I was exploring some kind of facility, a voice in my ear urging me to get to Comms. It wasn’t a particularly inviting environment, given that the computers were down and the power was out in places, but it didn’t seem particularly scary. And then I met Carl."

Very safe list of horror games. I would argue that Amnesia Machine for Pig was not that great. Dark Descent was much a much better game.
Far better games have been released in this genre (Dead Space Remake, Alien Isolation, Alan Wake 2 etc).
Spooky season is here again at last and time of the horror game has arrived alongside it. This year has seen the return of some the genre's greatest entires, but both tended to focus more on thrills than they did chills. So, those wanting a bit more of the latter this month would do well to check out at least one of these before Halloween rolls around.
