When it comes to video games, the horror genre has had its ups and downs. There was a period of time where horror games were virtually non-existent, but thanks to popular games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill , they became an important part of the industry. The rise of online multiplayer and games like Call of Duty saw developers move away from horror games, but then the success of indie horror games led to a mainstream resurgence that we’re still seeing to
The first Outlast successfully translated the found footage horror genre to video game form, and Outlast 2 delivers a similar, yet arguably even scarier, experience. Outlast 2 changes the setting from a mental asylum to rural Arizona, where players are chased down by insane cult members. Its dark religious themes help to make Outlast 2 especially unnerving, and while the first half is a bit slow, the second half is a dizzying rollercoaster of shocking scenes and moments that will be drilled into the minds of anyone brave enough to play through

Buckle Up is handy for spotting survivors in trouble and healing them will reveal where the killer is for a few seconds. But his ultimate ability, Mettle of Man, triggers whenever he receives three Protection Hit Score Events.

She can become the killer’s obsession by looking in the killer’s direction which also reveals her aura. Her final ability Decisive Strike is strong as it allows her to escape the killer immediately and stun them for five seconds after a successful skill check, but it’s only available if she’s been unhooked recently. Basically everyone needs to be dead, she can’t ever look at the killer, and she needs to first escape a hook (by herself) to escape the kil

Frictional Games made a name for itself with Amnesia: The Dark Descent , a title that is largely responsible for the resurgence the horror genre has enjoyed in recent years. Its followup effort, Soma , may not have generated the same kind of buzz as Amnesia , but it is arguably the better, more polished game. Set in an underwater research facility filled with strange creatures, Soma is less about jump scares and more about building tension and scaring players with pure psychological hor
Five Nights at Freddy’s has transcended gaming and become a multimedia phenomenon, spawning an endless stream of merchandise, novel adaptations, and an in-production feature film on top of numerous spinoffs and sequels.
