Today is finally the day of Halloween, in recent days we have told you about 10 scary games that do not scare you and the secrets that you can find in video games only on October 31st. For this reason, we too want to take advantage of this well-known anniversary to make you feel a long shiver on your back by talking about some titles that will surely make you die of fear.
Dead Space
A classic of the genre, the perfect title for Halloween, when it comes to horror games the first chapter of this series always and inevitably pops out, thanks to an incredibly claustrophobic setting and dangerous alien creatures capable of terrorizing even the most fearless of gamers . For this, we could not fail to include him in this ranking; if you are looking for strong emotions, Dead Space is right for you.
PT
Ok, now it is nowhere to be found, but it is still worth inserting it, even if only for what it meant for the industry, without forgetting the fact that it knew how to terrorize millions of players around the world. PT was the Silent Hill demo that Kojima was developing, before Konami decided to close the project, much to the chagrin of the fans who already saw in this game the most unmissable of the returns with great fanfare for the IP. A move that marked the end of the relationship between the director and the team, thus leaving a great void in the hearts of the players who could not wait to try the horror game of the master.
silent Hill
Named the demo, it seemed ugly not to put a progenitor in this ranking as the first true one silent Hill. This game was a real cult that has been able to mark the genre forever, unforgettable in the eyes of all horror lovers; it will be difficult to recover it, but if you have the possibility, do it at any cost.
The Evil Whitin
The first chapter of the license plate series Bethesda it is certainly the most successful, both in terms of general climax and game level, thanks to a narrative as twisted as it is intriguing mixed with that constant sense of anxiety that crazy-looking creatures are able to convey. The second chapter loses some of that psychological horror, partly due to a playful structure also characterized by open-map sections that had very little horror; for this reason, we advise you to launch with the first chapter – with the respective DLCs – and then, in case you want more, you can also give the second episode a chance.
Alien: Isolation
Alone with nothing, in a spaceship floating who knows where, with a very dangerous alien who will try to kill you at any cost. Alien: Isolation is another great way to get some honest scares on Witches’ Night, thanks above all to one of the most powerful, intelligent and dangerous enemies that has ever stood before us. The Xenomorph alone is well worth the price of the ticket.
Resident Evil 2: Remake
Needless to go around so much, for fans of the horror genre, the remake of the second chapter of Resident Evil was pure gold. In addition to being a GOTY candidate, he is sure one of the best horror games of recent years, respectful of the original work but at the same time capable of offering everything one would expect from a modern production. Find our review here.
The Last of Us Part II
We all loved the first part of this Naughty Dog saga, but with this second chapter the team has also surpassed itself in giving, in some stages of the adventure, an even more distinctly horror flavor to the whole experience. Without going into the spoiler area, there are a couple of chapters that will literally make you jump out of your chair. If you are curious about our full opinion on The Last of Us Part II, we refer you to the review dedicated.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
In a sense, we could say that Amnesia: The Dark Descent has given birth to a real horror subgenre that is particularly in vogue today. A protagonist unable to defend himself and simply invincible monsters are the basis of the production, all accompanied by that perennial sense of being observed in the dark that so much appeals to lovers of strong emotions.
Alan Wake: Remastered
With Alan Wake: Remastered you will kill two birds with one stone, since you will take your good dose of fear as well as recover a real videogame pearl that has remained etched in the minds of countless fans. Find more details about the game in our special.
Prey
Title Bethesda passed a bit on the sly, given and considered the welcome of the general public. To us Prey convinced us from the beginning and for this reason we recommend it, as also written in our review. For those who have never heard of it before, we are talking about a production capable of beautifully mixing stealth and action with a particularly successful sci-fi setting and particular alien creatures that will make you take more than a scare. If you ignored it at the time of the release, now is the right time to recover it.
This concludes our ranking dedicated to horror games that will scare you, we hope they will help you have fun during the Halloween night.
