SOMA, despite being developed by the makers of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, wasn’t originally planned as a horror game, and you can tell. The scares don’t quite work some of the time, and can often feel more like exercises in frustration as you play tag with the weird denizens of the deep. It’s SOMA‘s subject matter that’s horrifying, exploring awful implications and unsettling revelations about what it means to be human. You may not be very afraid of the monsters that roam this facility, but the game’s story will leave many shaken.
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.

Titan fall 2 was chefs kiss. For those of you who haven't played it go ahead. Brilliant. With each level being creatively different.
The Xbox One is full of SPOOKS, and that's all you should know about. Here is a list of the best horror games on the system.
A lot of my favourites are on this list so I whole heartedly approve.
Everything except The Observer. It started out really interesting but quickly unraveled into a train wreck. Including frustratingly dull dives into mind sequences, They neutered the monster with boring on rail stealth sequences and a laughably obvious and cringeworthy ending. Mix in bugs and some wonky controls to boot.
I had really strong impressions with it to start but ended up absolutely hating it.
Soma would be more existential horror than anything but I'll be damned if it didn't have one of the best stories in game that I've experienced. Blew my mind.
Sucks that Microsoft Xbox one owners won't experience this game.
