It’s spooky season, and my video game habits are of no exception here. Horror games oftentimes effect me more than movies, because in a horror movie, you’re watching bad things happen to other people. But in a video game, it makes it feel like those awful things are happening to you. Chases are more meaningful, and packed with white-knuckle moments.
So let’s take a walk down memory lane with some of the greatest games in the horror genre.
10. Left 4 Dead
9. Dying Light
8. Little Nightmares
7. Resident Evil 2
6. Dino Crisis
5. The Evil Within
4. Bloodborne
3. The Last of Us
2. Resident Evil
1. Silent Hill 2
This genre of games is so huge, and honestly, a top 50 wouldn’t be good enough to squeeze in all the greats. But these are some of the games that I’ve enjoyed over the years, and I’m sure many of them struck a chord for you too.
While you contemplate some of the games I missed, let’s relive one of the most famous (and probably your first) jump scares in games of all time.
