I personally don’t mind thrillers and psychological horrors, when playing a game, but horror/intense games with stealth segments usually put me off and makes me give up before I reach the ending.
However, as it’s Halloween, I was kindly given >observer_ to take a look at due to Bloober Team recently releasing a double pack containing this and their other hit game, Layers of Fear.
With Capcom’s horror series commemorating its 25th anniversary today, here are seven horror games non-horror fans might enjoy.
I'd add a couple of honorable mentions. Cursed Mountain on the Wii and Cold Fear on PS2/Xbox.
Not played Cursed Mountain but I enjoyed Cold Fear. It almost felt a bit Dead Space-ey.
Why would you play games from other series to celebrate the anniversary of Resident Evil? WTF.
Because Resident Evil is an iconic piece of video game history that inspired many horror games
Why would non-horror fans want to play a horror game? Crap title, some good games though.
Tbf, some of those aren't even horror games. They're just action games with some horror on them. I'm not a horror game player and I played TLoU and Bioshock which are on that list
Half life 2's Ravenholm level alone has more horror than the whole of Bioshock.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "The WayTooManyGames staff lists their favorite non-horror games that scared them more than actual horror games released over the years."
Twinfinite Writes: With Cyberpunk 2077 delayed, fans of the genre are hankering for meaty cyberpunk experiences. We have plenty of recommendations to help with that.
The new Deus Ex games were so good. Hate that they shelved the series for the time being.
Shadowrun series and Remember Me are both great recommendations too.
