Top 5 Horror Games Worth Playing Right Now
- 2023-12-04
It's a bit paradoxical, but almost everyone likes to be afraid from time to time. Moreover, there is no better way to be scared in complete safety than good horror games. And even if you are familiar with some of the games presented in the article, you will undoubtedly find something new for yourself.
Dead Space Remake
Space horror is a fairly rare genre. However, thanks to such series as Dead Space, it not only exists but also has a lot of fans. In 15 years, the first part has already become very outdated... but that's what remakes are for, right? The updated version was created almost from scratch, and the graphics and gameplay in it were tightened to a modern level. It is the perfect reason to remember the classics — or get to know them. Well, if you suddenly don't have enough, try Callisto Protocol. She didn't have enough to get a separate place in our top five, but fans of space horrors should like her.
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Another remake in our collection — and again, a great new thing for a great game. At one time, Resident Evil 4 did the seemingly impossible. She was able to turn a stringy survival horror into a great, upbeat action movie. Perhaps this is why the series still exists and feels great. It doesn't matter if you like horror or action movies — there are plenty of both here.
Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse
Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse was released in Japan back in 2008, and now it has finally reached us. The graphics have been improved, but the core of the game remains the same. It's still the same unhurried psychological horror about ghost hunting using an ancient camera. It's a real must-have for fans of horror films with a national Japanese flavor.
The Outlast Trials
Outlast is a great example of a series that evolves from game to game. The first part was a chamber horror film about a psychiatric hospital. The second, dedicated to the American outback, began to gravitate more towards open spaces. And the third turned out to be a full-fledged cooperative horror. So far, it is in early access, but it is already possible to enjoy joint survival. So don't wait for the final release — suffer and be afraid with your friends right now.
Dredge
Perhaps the most unusual game in our collection. No one seems to have thought of combining Lovecraftian horrors with a fishing simulator yet. But in vain! The restless night sea beckons with ancient secrets. Disgusting creatures are prowling in the depths of the waters. The deck of a fragile longboat creaks underfoot ... the perfect atmosphere for a truly deep horror. The result is a mixture of Call of Cthulhu and Ex Machina if you remember. It's a small but very decent (and sometimes really creepy) indie masterpiece.
