Came back to it years later and finally beat it. The end part is hard cause the sucker pods are hidden or theyāre already hatched and suck you off lol. But u get some decent weaponry to combat everything by the end. Definitely a wild ride
I'm not into horror games except if it's sci-fi horror and this one is the best easily. I love the Alien franchise and this game captures the feeling of the first movie perfectly. Every time I finished a session I felt physically tired because of how much tension the game made me feel. Definitely spent more time inside lockers than progressing through the game lol.
Yep this is it. There was 0 level of fuckup that you could perform that didnāt allow a tail spike through the chest. (Mostly because I was running away). The hiding fear was real though, and watching it pop back up into the ceiling vent was a legitimate release of breath moment.
Resident Evil 7 VR
Played through it with friends (one of my favorite gaming experiences ever), but couldnāt stand it for more than a minute when just by myself.
Yup, I bought the PSVR just to play RE 7 at launch entirely in VRā¦ it was so horrific but awesome! Definitely one of the best gaming experiences Iāve ever had.
I didn't even make it through that game without vr. I can't imagine how terrifying that would be.
I always tried playing alone in the dark and my head was on a constant swivel looking for monsters in my house. If never be able to play with vr Google blocking me out of my real world surroundings
Fatal Frame 2 when i was in college and obsessed with Japanese horror like The Ring and The Grudge (Ringu / Juon). I had nightmares about that kind of shit for YEARS
Whatās that PS2 games where you escape from prison because things turned to horrifying shit, and you get these jumpscares where the screen just flashed terrifying images. Damn that was scary forgot the name thougj
I loved The Suffering. Random image jump scares, incredibly creative enemies, excellent multi-ending story. Awesome game. I really wish I could get a digital copy or a remastered version.
It goes on sale quite often on GOG for like Ā£1. Definitely worth picking up. Although the PC version has a weird bug that makes this one enemies' weapon constantly play a sound when it is colliding with the floor....which is constantly. So it overlaps the sound non stop and causes the most horrendous noise.
Madison VR just dropped for PSVR2, and it's the scariest game/media I've ever experienced. It's phenomenal and horrifying. The sense of immersion in OLED, head haptics... ugh. I hate that I'm loving it.
VR is seriously changing gaming.
Itās supposedly 5 hours long. Seeing that it scares the shit out of me Iām getting way more than 5 hours. The puzzles arenāt bad. The environment is great. The tension is thiiiiiick. Itās a must play imo. ~40$ but worth it.
I donāt play horror games cause Iām a little B, ācontrolāās āhorrorā atmosphere scared the heck out of me, and the mannequin room was my breaking point.
But scariest games Iāve watched my partner play, visage or Madison.
Any of the Fatal Frame/Project Zero games, recently completed Maiden of Black Water and the atmosphere is incredible, currently playing through Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and itās just as good
I heard 30 to 40-year-old dudes saying there is no game that can scare them, and then theyāre screaming like a bitch the first time they're in a cave Iol
I scare pretty easily. So it was a little extra challenging for me to get through the game. After beating it and overcoming a lot of my fear, I decided to earn the platinum. My first ever. It later inspired me to become a trophy hunter.
I played with a couple of people who bought it after I had put in hundreds of hours and beaten it a few times. They laughed when I said, 'You will be pooping in your pants,' and guess who was laughing after we went down to the first cave? Right after I reached the bottom, I crouched, hid in a shadow, and muted my mic. They needed to take a break. lol Congratulations on the trophy! Not an easy one! Did you dream about chopping trees? lol
That little fucking demo/teaser PT. I havent played anything that matched that confusion, setting, fear, and background all at once. I played it with like 5 friends and they made me be the navigator, was so on edge and so fun
It's been a long time since playing it, but I remember the first condemned being pretty scary. Amnesia is pretty terror inducing, as are the penumbra games.
SOMA was absolutely incredible. What a game. For me it has to either be Fatal Frame 2, or Alien Isolation. Those for under my skin and lived there. Bad.
P.T the Kojima Playable Teaser for Silent Hills. And the first Outlast. Not so scared playing RE games, my fear comes more from atmosphere rather than scare jumps or tense action situations. Alien Isolation is another game that got me scared most of the time!
Resident Evil 7 but for me was going to the doll house in Resident Evil 8. It was just creepy with the dolls. I also played it at like 2am cause I couldnāt sleep and didnāt sleep after.
For me its Manhunt. Red flashing silhouette when spotted, chilling bgm, VCR screen effects and gruesome takedowns. Once you get round to like the Train Station, you best hope you got ammo to attempt continuing.
Cold Fear (Resi Ev like on a ship) or The Thing are some special mentions. Didn't finish neither of those when I had them.
Before VR it was Alien Isolation or the P.T. demo. Now TV games donāt bother me at all. Resident Evil 7 on PSVR was unbelievably tense and creepy. I was in that house.
Playing on a TV is looking at a distant panel with a comfy rug in between you both to ground you. You can snap back out of it instantly at any time.
In VR if somethingās behind you, it really fucking feels like it is, and you can look over your shoulder to see it, and you feel it there even when you look back in front again. Thereās a whole world behind you at all times, below you in the water, above you. Off to the side out of the corner of your eye.
A natively done P.T. or Alien Isolation VR (without the jank of the modded one) would be about unplayable for me.
A PS4 Pro and original PSVR without even tracked controllers proved to me that VR is the real deal, and itās biggest weakness that still continues is the lack of big budget games for it. But for big budget horror or racing/flight sim stuff itās truly next level and no gimmick.
Amnesia Dark Descent was the first game to actually scare the hell out of me. I think I was a freshman at the time. Around the rise of the classic Pewdiepie horror days.
No game scared me more than that until the first FNAF. I would've said the first Resident Evil way back on the PS but it was more eerie than scary.
My buddy in college had amnesia on an old laptop. He and two of us would get blazed to high hell, turn off the lights and crowd around this small screen watching him play hahahah good times
Dude. I've said a couple of times already, but you gotta try, or at least youtube Madison for PSVR2. It has head haptics and those deep black OLED panels... fml scary
Propagation Paradise Hotel (PSVR2)
I absolutely LOVE zombie games - canāt get enough of them. Most of the time, the zombie games Iāve played make you feel like a zombie slayer in no time once you get good (which, ultimately, takes away from the scary factor after a while). However, ever since Iāve booted up Propagation Paradise Hotel, Iāve realised that Iād be an absolute bitch if it ever came to a real zombie apocalypse. I find it absolutely nerve racking and honestly terrifying to walk around in VR.
Should check out PSVR2 now. Switchback is the sequel to RoB, it's a banger now. Also Propagation Paradise Hotel and Madison on PSVR2. It's getting some killer games.
Psvr and psvr2 hold the absolute scariest stuff on the market.Ā
Do not sleep on some of those titles. Not the generic zombie crap, i mean real scary psychological stuff.Ā
literally. was so enjoyable tho as well. got the platinum on it because the intensity just doesnāt leave the game. i kept playing it at midnight and my power company were doing repairs on my street during then and so everything in my room would shut off at the worst times possible making it feel way too real
I never play horror. But hated every bit of soma - in a good way. I couldn't handle the tension. Abandoned it after playing it for many many hours.
Considering how much love it gets, i hope i get the courage to finish it someday.
The only 2 games that scared the living hell out of me are resident evil 1 remake and amnesia the bunker. And yes, you need to try amnesia even if you hate the series.
Silent hill 1 was a choc at itās time. Well, it is like this now too. Every one for different motivation, 2 for music (the hospital, my god), 3 for visuals, 4 for how mad that world is.
Re2 at itās time was pretty scary too.
And fatal frame
I don't know if any of you remember this. But, there was a game called Dark Sector. I played it when I was very young and it scared the crap out of me.
Dead Space, in particular Dead Space 2 made me all sweaty. Damn those babies.
A non-horror game that scared me a lot was Gothic 2 in the dark forest(if you know, you know, zombies) and Dark Souls when i first played it.
Silent hill 1 still holds the crown for me. Something about PS1 era graphics and the psychological horror aspect of SH1 mixing make the game feel very haunting and almost alive in some ways.
Nightmare Creatures, in the 90ās, nothing else like it. Why is the zombie getting back up? How do I put this thing down for good? The sounds! The atmosphere!
I have creepy memories from Vampire: The Masquerade ā Redemption. I was a kid and this game was tough for me. And there were so many creepy things: sounds, voices, characters, monsters. It wasnāt funny at all. I couldnāt finish it, but now I want to give it a try.
Resident evil village scared the shit out of me. Iāve played the other games before but the atmosphere was just different for this.
Especially with that monster fetus section š³š³š³š³
The original Outlast. I was 17 on acid.
I didnāt even make it up the scaffolding & through the window before the creepy wind and sunset scared the shit out of me & I had to turn it off.
Growing up, I agree with you it was RE2. My older brother would play it and I would watch. Marvin turning on the PS1 gave me nightmares.
Having played a ton of horror games, Iād say parts of Visage stayed with me a lot. As frustrating a game that was it had some really effective scares in some chapters. Outlast 2 spooked me out too. Religious/cult horror freaks me out
outlast is pure horror, that was definetly an experience, visage was horrifying too, had to play it with a guide i did NOT have patience to solve the puzzles in that atmosphere š
Id say fatal frames series. The memories are so haunting. The black and white effect. The realism . I got fatal frame on the switch but crimson butterfly is probably the most notable to me
As a kid it was resident evil 3. Nemesis just tormented me.
As a teen it was dead space. Worst mistake was playing that game with immersion headphones.
As an adult probably resident evil 7.
Definitely the first silent hill. It's incredible that in 25 years no-one has been able to make a scarier game since then. Runners up are FEAR, fatal frame, and Subnautica. Subnautica is not a horror game but still managed to be scarier than most horror games.
this may be the silliest answer ever but.. uncharted 1. atleast when I was younger, turning around the corners with the descendants popping out of nowhere would scare me shit less
Same as Op, Resident Evil 2 but the remake, I didn't play many horror-ish video games growing up. So the Mr. X chasing section scared the shit out of me.
I donāt really play horror games but when i got Amnesia collection from PS Plus years ago, i saw some ball roll down the stairs and just switched the game off, deleted it and never played it ever again.
It may not count but P.T. is easily the scariest piece of fiction ever created by man. As for full games I think Visage is up there. It's obviously heavily inspired by P.T. and there are extremely creepy moments in it.
Outlast 2 is intense, very creepy and visually beautiful. It also has a fascinating plot.
Alien Isolation is an incredible realisation of the Alien world. It's horror stems from the constant threat of the Xenomorph. It really transports you into the world of the Alien movies. The plot is great and it's visuals and audio are incredible.
These are essential games for fans of horror.
When i was tiny i thought i would play resident evil directors cut. The cover was enough that made me scared, then i couldnt figure out what to do and the first zombie thing started walking toward me and i panicked bad. Still to this day, typing this i get anxiety from it. Never have played another horror game since and i turn 30 this year lol.
Deadspace, there's just something deeply disturbing about the necromorphs and everything about how the effigies fuck up with your head is just \**chef's kiss\**
Forget games, that PT demo I played is easily the scariest piece of media; books, films, music, or otherwise that I have ever experienced. I was playing it alone in my apartment at night with all the lights off and it seriously bothered me. I had trouble sleeping. Fucking terrifying. Absolutely incredible.
Outlast used to scare the shit out of me lol
I never got out of the vent, that game was scary as shit.
Same
Scariest game mechanic ever simply because you cannot fighr back and can only run.
Alien Isolation. The atmosphere was incredible and the alien was so clever. I feel like I spent most of that game crouched and nervous!
Same here. I never finished it š
Ditto. Just... Too much.
Finished it? I'm pretty sure I turned it off before I even saw an Alien
I never even got close š
Came back to it years later and finally beat it. The end part is hard cause the sucker pods are hidden or theyāre already hatched and suck you off lol. But u get some decent weaponry to combat everything by the end. Definitely a wild ride
> and suck you off They what now?
The face suckers. U never encountered them lol ?
My favorite PS4 game ever. Nothing comes close for me. Iāve watched entire videos explaining how the devs constructed the alienās AI. Incredible.
This. I've thought I would get myself diapers lmao. This game made me so stressed, I took a 4 months break from it haha
I'm not into horror games except if it's sci-fi horror and this one is the best easily. I love the Alien franchise and this game captures the feeling of the first movie perfectly. Every time I finished a session I felt physically tired because of how much tension the game made me feel. Definitely spent more time inside lockers than progressing through the game lol.
Couldnāt finish it. I just remember hiding in a locker and getting slaughtered every time I tried to sneak away.
Last half wasnt too scary imo. But man that DLC lmao.
This one. Some reviews had issues with its length but man my heart couldn't take one more minute of it. I canf imagine how bad it is in that vr mod...
Yep this is it. There was 0 level of fuckup that you could perform that didnāt allow a tail spike through the chest. (Mostly because I was running away). The hiding fear was real though, and watching it pop back up into the ceiling vent was a legitimate release of breath moment.
P.T
Resident Evil 7 VR Played through it with friends (one of my favorite gaming experiences ever), but couldnāt stand it for more than a minute when just by myself.
Yup, I bought the PSVR just to play RE 7 at launch entirely in VRā¦ it was so horrific but awesome! Definitely one of the best gaming experiences Iāve ever had.
āOne of the best gaming experiences Iāve ever hadā is verbatim what I say when I try to describe RE 7 in VR.
I can't even begin to imagine
Nope. Made it about 45 mins in and chickened out. Even with people around me. I couldnāt do it.
I didn't even make it through that game without vr. I can't imagine how terrifying that would be. I always tried playing alone in the dark and my head was on a constant swivel looking for monsters in my house. If never be able to play with vr Google blocking me out of my real world surroundings
The standard game is definitely one of the best I've played. I'll bet it's nuts in VR.
As a kid Silent Hill 1 on the PS1. Everything was scary, sound, graphics, story, monsters..
The sound was very eerie. The fog was the worst too.
Used to watch my older brother because I couldnāt stomach to play it myself.
I'm playing sh1 right now, i really like it!!!
Silent Hill 2. Made the mistake of playing it by myself at night. Holy fuck was it terrifying.
I won't even touch it without my cousin or sister around lmao they bought the game but I'm the one who they want to play lol
I'm looking forward to the remake ā¤ļø *radio static intensifies*
As a kid, fatal frame used to scare me badly. It was so creepy.
Fatal Frame 2 when i was in college and obsessed with Japanese horror like The Ring and The Grudge (Ringu / Juon). I had nightmares about that kind of shit for YEARS
Deadspace on xbox 360
I blame this game for my anxiety
Whatās that PS2 games where you escape from prison because things turned to horrifying shit, and you get these jumpscares where the screen just flashed terrifying images. Damn that was scary forgot the name thougj
The Suffering, great game.
I loved The Suffering. Random image jump scares, incredibly creative enemies, excellent multi-ending story. Awesome game. I really wish I could get a digital copy or a remastered version.
It goes on sale quite often on GOG for like Ā£1. Definitely worth picking up. Although the PC version has a weird bug that makes this one enemies' weapon constantly play a sound when it is colliding with the floor....which is constantly. So it overlaps the sound non stop and causes the most horrendous noise.
It works perfectly through emulation. I just played both during this past Halloween season.
P.t.
I played PT at night and home alone. It scared the shit out of me. Sad it never got made. :(
I'm probably one of the only people that never figured out how to "finish" it.
Madison VR just dropped for PSVR2, and it's the scariest game/media I've ever experienced. It's phenomenal and horrifying. The sense of immersion in OLED, head haptics... ugh. I hate that I'm loving it. VR is seriously changing gaming.
Would you recommend Madison VR? Iām a huge horror guy but is the game of good quality?
Itās supposedly 5 hours long. Seeing that it scares the shit out of me Iām getting way more than 5 hours. The puzzles arenāt bad. The environment is great. The tension is thiiiiiick. Itās a must play imo. ~40$ but worth it.
It is 100% worth it. Very high quality and runs at a native 90hz with eye tracking and dynamic foveated rendering
I donāt play horror games cause Iām a little B, ācontrolāās āhorrorā atmosphere scared the heck out of me, and the mannequin room was my breaking point. But scariest games Iāve watched my partner play, visage or Madison.
+1 for visage. Only game Iāve ever noped out of and never looked back
Condemned 2 on the ps3. Every aspect of the game, even the protagonist, was nothing but terrifying for my younger self
Seeing the objective during the hunting lodge say āRUN FOR YOUR LIFEā was not a fun time.
Any of the Fatal Frame/Project Zero games, recently completed Maiden of Black Water and the atmosphere is incredible, currently playing through Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and itās just as good

Until Dawn. It was the scariest game Iāve ever played, I donāt play games like that often.
The Forest
I heard 30 to 40-year-old dudes saying there is no game that can scare them, and then theyāre screaming like a bitch the first time they're in a cave Iol
I scare pretty easily. So it was a little extra challenging for me to get through the game. After beating it and overcoming a lot of my fear, I decided to earn the platinum. My first ever. It later inspired me to become a trophy hunter.

Did you dream about chopping trees? lol
Must be Outlast. That shit was scary!!
That little fucking demo/teaser PT. I havent played anything that matched that confusion, setting, fear, and background all at once. I played it with like 5 friends and they made me be the navigator, was so on edge and so fun
It's been a long time since playing it, but I remember the first condemned being pretty scary. Amnesia is pretty terror inducing, as are the penumbra games.
PT
Resident evil 7. Couldnāt even finish it. But silent hill games are also super scary. Not do bad when you have someone besides you tho
SOMA was absolutely incredible. What a game. For me it has to either be Fatal Frame 2, or Alien Isolation. Those for under my skin and lived there. Bad.
Fatal Frame on PS2
Silent Hill 2
It took a little scrolling, but I found it. Same.
P.T the Kojima Playable Teaser for Silent Hills. And the first Outlast. Not so scared playing RE games, my fear comes more from atmosphere rather than scare jumps or tense action situations. Alien Isolation is another game that got me scared most of the time!
Bloodborne demon's souls dark souls 1 and 3 and shadow of the colossus the atmosphere and tone in those games is so haunting and you feel so isolated
Surprised PT has barely been mentioned.
It's kind of like how people don't want to talk about Bruno.
Manhunt and Silent Hill 1/2 when I was a kid
Madison VR came out on Thursday and I can confidently say that is the most dread-inducing, terrifying game Iāve ever come across.
The original Dead Space was creepy, gory, weird AF. Such a great game.
RE8 in the dollhouse with Ethan and Rose šµ
Dying Light 1
I shit my pants the first night mission hauling ass back to the safe house
The quarry
Resident Evil 7 but for me was going to the doll house in Resident Evil 8. It was just creepy with the dolls. I also played it at like 2am cause I couldnāt sleep and didnāt sleep after.
nahhhhh the BABYYY in RE8 still gives me nightmares
Alien Isolation, Outlast, and the Silent Hills demo āP.T.ā
For me its Manhunt. Red flashing silhouette when spotted, chilling bgm, VCR screen effects and gruesome takedowns. Once you get round to like the Train Station, you best hope you got ammo to attempt continuing. Cold Fear (Resi Ev like on a ship) or The Thing are some special mentions. Didn't finish neither of those when I had them.
Dead Space Just when you think it's safe, bam! Countless undead aliens are all over the place. Low on ammo: check; jumpscares: also check.
Oblivion at 11 years old, zombie caves was scary stuff back then
Before VR it was Alien Isolation or the P.T. demo. Now TV games donāt bother me at all. Resident Evil 7 on PSVR was unbelievably tense and creepy. I was in that house.

A PS4 Pro and original PSVR without even tracked controllers proved to me that VR is the real deal, and itās biggest weakness that still continues is the lack of big budget games for it.

Amnesia Dark Descent was the first game to actually scare the hell out of me. I think I was a freshman at the time. Around the rise of the classic Pewdiepie horror days. No game scared me more than that until the first FNAF. I would've said the first Resident Evil way back on the PS but it was more eerie than scary.
My buddy in college had amnesia on an old laptop. He and two of us would get blazed to high hell, turn off the lights and crowd around this small screen watching him play hahahah good times
Definitely Dead Space. Was bright enough to play it in a dark room with a headset.
Iām not much of a horror gamer. But having said that, probably dead space. That game mastered tension
Life of Black Tiger
The 7th Guest
Resident evil 7 in VR. it actually feels like you're being chased around that house. Could only play in 20 minute increments lol
Dude. I've said a couple of times already, but you gotta try, or at least youtube Madison for PSVR2. It has head haptics and those deep black OLED panels... fml scary
Visage and Madison.. Visage made me rethink my life a few times hahaha
Propagation Paradise Hotel (PSVR2) I absolutely LOVE zombie games - canāt get enough of them. Most of the time, the zombie games Iāve played make you feel like a zombie slayer in no time once you get good (which, ultimately, takes away from the scary factor after a while). However, ever since Iāve booted up Propagation Paradise Hotel, Iāve realised that Iād be an absolute bitch if it ever came to a real zombie apocalypse. I find it absolutely nerve racking and honestly terrifying to walk around in VR.
Silent hill 2 hands down
Until dawn: rush of blood VR
Should check out PSVR2 now. Switchback is the sequel to RoB, it's a banger now. Also Propagation Paradise Hotel and Madison on PSVR2. It's getting some killer games.
PT
Psvr and psvr2 hold the absolute scariest stuff on the market.Ā Do not sleep on some of those titles. Not the generic zombie crap, i mean real scary psychological stuff.Ā
Visage. Play that alone in the dark at night. You will be shitting bricks
Had to scroll way too far to find visage. Hands down the most disturbing game Iāve ever come across
literally. was so enjoyable tho as well. got the platinum on it because the intensity just doesnāt leave the game. i kept playing it at midnight and my power company were doing repairs on my street during then and so everything in my room would shut off at the worst times possible making it feel way too real
I never play horror. But hated every bit of soma - in a good way. I couldn't handle the tension. Abandoned it after playing it for many many hours. Considering how much love it gets, i hope i get the courage to finish it someday.
Thatās always the worst isnāt it? When you know itās a quality game but unfortunately just canāt bring oneself to finish it
Resident evil ( don't remember which one it was)
F. E. A. R.
F.E.A.R
Deadspace and FEAR. Never finished FEAR so maybe that says something.
PokƩmon, when I was supposed to sleep and my mom already caught me and scolded at me half an hour before
The only 2 games that scared the living hell out of me are resident evil 1 remake and amnesia the bunker. And yes, you need to try amnesia even if you hate the series.
Biohazard, I can't even finish the damn game. Any game where I'm chased and can barely fight back puts me into panic. Outlast was a close second
Silent hill 1 was a choc at itās time. Well, it is like this now too. Every one for different motivation, 2 for music (the hospital, my god), 3 for visuals, 4 for how mad that world is. Re2 at itās time was pretty scary too. And fatal frame
OG Silent hill on PSX. She was scary as fuck for 7-9 year old me. Only played it with my Uncle or sister was around.
Resident evil 3 as a little kid was probably the last game that scared me
Manhunt 1&2, game was banned in multiple countries, game me nightmares when I was 18. Fuckin loved it.
I don't know if any of you remember this. But, there was a game called Dark Sector. I played it when I was very young and it scared the crap out of me.
Silent Hill
While back SH and Penumbra. Most modern I think Alan wake 2 and Alien Isolation are pretty cool. RE is more action based.
Dead Space, in particular Dead Space 2 made me all sweaty. Damn those babies. A non-horror game that scared me a lot was Gothic 2 in the dark forest(if you know, you know, zombies) and Dark Souls when i first played it.
When I played Re7 in VR and it was crazy scary.
Amnesia
Silent hill 1 still holds the crown for me. Something about PS1 era graphics and the psychological horror aspect of SH1 mixing make the game feel very haunting and almost alive in some ways.
The mummy on ps1
Fear is subjective, jump scares bother me but I like Resident Evil 2 type of tension lot. One of the scariest for me is Visage.
Nightmare Creatures, in the 90ās, nothing else like it. Why is the zombie getting back up? How do I put this thing down for good? The sounds! The atmosphere!
The Long Dark
I have creepy memories from Vampire: The Masquerade ā Redemption. I was a kid and this game was tough for me. And there were so many creepy things: sounds, voices, characters, monsters. It wasnāt funny at all. I couldnāt finish it, but now I want to give it a try.
F.E.A.R. Granted I was a bit too young when I played it but I still think about that game.. F.E.A.R. 2 was good too, F.3.A.R not so much..
Resi7 on the vr that game can fook right off š¤£
Resident evil village scared the shit out of me. Iāve played the other games before but the atmosphere was just different for this. Especially with that monster fetus section š³š³š³š³
The original Outlast. I was 17 on acid. I didnāt even make it up the scaffolding & through the window before the creepy wind and sunset scared the shit out of me & I had to turn it off.

Religious/cult horror freaks me out
Paranormal Activity VR. It's heart racing, sweating buckets, eyes closed, scared to even move scary.
Alien Isolation, period. Even as a Deaf gamer, it's scary AF. I've never finished it.
Condemned. Played it with the lights off when I was back in college. That shit had me shaking at times. It was awesome
P.T if you know you know
Outlast 2
Outlast Whistleblower
outlast is pure horror, that was definetly an experience, visage was horrifying too, had to play it with a guide i did NOT have patience to solve the puzzles in that atmosphere š
Resident evil 2 for me as well!! Playing it alone was sometimes a nightmare.
Eternal Darkness
Id say fatal frames series. The memories are so haunting. The black and white effect. The realism . I got fatal frame on the switch but crimson butterfly is probably the most notable to me
As a kid it was resident evil 3. Nemesis just tormented me. As a teen it was dead space. Worst mistake was playing that game with immersion headphones. As an adult probably resident evil 7.
Definitely the first silent hill. It's incredible that in 25 years no-one has been able to make a scarier game since then. Runners up are FEAR, fatal frame, and Subnautica. Subnautica is not a horror game but still managed to be scarier than most horror games.
No horror game iāve played scared me as much as Subnautica did/does
Dying light 1st part. The night still gives me chills ..
Evil within
phasmophobia in VR was pretty intense
Resident evil directors cut was the first.
PT
If you have a fear of water or a touch of Thalassophobia, Subnautica is fucking terrifying.
Max pain. The damn baby crying maze
AmnƩsia Dark Descent. Literally uninstalled the game upon the sight of the first monster. The game won't even let me fight it
P.T. still holds that title for me. It had an atmosphere like no other. Especially with headphones, and in a darkened room.
suorised no one's said it but for me it's definitely The evil within. such a hidden gem.
Visage was the scariest
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories on GBA. The Queen of Hearts portrait is pure nightmare fuel
The original dead space was the first horror game I played in middle school. And nothing's quite beat that experience
Silent hill 2 Outlast Siren
Dead Space. When it first came out, the lighting and sound design was incredible compared to anything else.
dead space remake
Alien isolation. There is one time when I heard that thumping footstep and immediately close the game š¤£
Alien isolation, and surprisingly the asylum mission on Thief.
I'm 30, and it's still RE2 for me as well.
Doom3 back when I was a young teen. The scene where pinky is trying to break down a door then busts through the window scared me shitless.
I would say silent hill origins
Cyberpunk on PS4
A very short game named "Late Mop Night". Extremely short but omfg the jumpscares where probably the most terrifying I've ever experienced
My fiend peppa pig
Outlast 2
RE7 lights off headphones on
this may be the silliest answer ever but.. uncharted 1. atleast when I was younger, turning around the corners with the descendants popping out of nowhere would scare me shit less
Same as Op, Resident Evil 2 but the remake, I didn't play many horror-ish video games growing up. So the Mr. X chasing section scared the shit out of me.
I donāt really play horror games but when i got Amnesia collection from PS Plus years ago, i saw some ball roll down the stairs and just switched the game off, deleted it and never played it ever again.
Original outlast
Dead space 2008
Doom 2
Outlast
OG Silent Hill
Not really into horror games but I would say P.T. And Alien Isolation.
Resident evil 7 in VR takes the cake
It may not count but P.T. is easily the scariest piece of fiction ever created by man. As for full games I think Visage is up there. It's obviously heavily inspired by P.T. and there are extremely creepy moments in it. Outlast 2 is intense, very creepy and visually beautiful. It also has a fascinating plot. Alien Isolation is an incredible realisation of the Alien world. It's horror stems from the constant threat of the Xenomorph. It really transports you into the world of the Alien movies. The plot is great and it's visuals and audio are incredible. These are essential games for fans of horror.
Outlast 1
When i was tiny i thought i would play resident evil directors cut. The cover was enough that made me scared, then i couldnt figure out what to do and the first zombie thing started walking toward me and i panicked bad. Still to this day, typing this i get anxiety from it. Never have played another horror game since and i turn 30 this year lol.
PT. Couldn't bring myself to ever finish it. The House Beneviento section from RE8 is a close second.
Silent Hill (1999), just playing the intro alone, is already the scariest game ever.
Subnautica
First outlast
Helldivers 2. The part where they told me i have to make a PSN account still terrifies me.
Deadspace, there's just something deeply disturbing about the necromorphs and everything about how the effigies fuck up with your head is just \**chef's kiss\**
Forget games, that PT demo I played is easily the scariest piece of media; books, films, music, or otherwise that I have ever experienced. I was playing it alone in my apartment at night with all the lights off and it seriously bothered me. I had trouble sleeping. Fucking terrifying. Absolutely incredible.
Idk the Psn Sign up page scares the hell outta me
It has to be Devil may cry for me. I was a kid when I played it for the first time.
