Happy gaming! Glen
Dusk and Nun Massacre.
THE METRO GAMES!!
Great
A switch pixelated RPG horror game I recommend is Angels of Death! With an anime to watch as well, it’s a short puzzle game where you play as a teenage girl named Rachel Gardner as you try and navigate through the hospital you were stuck in
One of my personal favorites!
Zombies Ate My Neighbors was so fun as a kid. I completely forgot about that game
Five Nights At Freddy’s
Bioshock
Where is dark souls tho ….
Don’t forget Luigi’s Mansion 3!
There so much mature rated games on switch that can be considered as horror games too. Love the switch horor library.
As someone from the dead by daylight community it is an anxiety ridden game look around every corner while you are rushed to do generators to save yourself. As a community member though sadly this game is mainly survivor based( as a survivor main I can admit this) granted there is lots of fun and also rage worthy moments this game provides. It's free on some platforms and worth a grab if price is right. Definitely worth a gamble to see if the games for you, or if this game puts you in the psych ward out of rage.
You don’t know the difference between first person or third person do you
i figured it was worth mentioning the fatal frame series goes back to the original xbox not just the wii U
Doki doki literature club is a really cool horror game with multiple routes
ty
I play Dying light on switch finished and got max level
DETENTION
Detention is my favorite, it's one of the greatest horror games ever.
Alien Isolation. I can't play it more than 20 mins in one session because of the sound design 10/10
Not a horor game, but vampires the masquerade bloodlines, the hotel mission.
Inside/Limbo make for some good horror
Was never a game, but PT demo on PS4 was the scariest game to never be… My ex has the PlayStation that contains that demo, damn her..
Whether you could class it as horror but I enjoyed Luigi's Mansion 3. If Dying Light is still being given away I would love to have the download key as it looks epic
I played alot of games over my lifetime and I can say the scaresit game I ever played was Silent Hill on Playstation One it literally made me stop playing games for a week or so
I just picked up Friday the 13th two weeks ago. I played the Steam version for about 800hrs when it was released, and had an itch to revisit it. Unfortunately it takes a bit to find a full lobby nowadays (on the Switch), but it's still somewhat active if you're willing to wait a few minutes each time a lobby closes
My fav horror game is dead space
I still remember the first time I played this game with my friend thinking that it's just a shooter, then the jump scares began and we filled our pants
Amnesia has to be my favorite horror game. I hate it so GD much! It took me MONTHS to finish it because I kept getting too scared lol. It was one of those games that did so much with so little. Their follow up Soma was also pretty amazing, though I didn't find that one as scary.
Another game I'll recommend is Detention on Switch. I don't want to spoil anything, because going in as blind as possible is really the best way to experience it.
Finally, I have to, as is my civic duty, recommend The House in Fata Morgana. More gothic horror than straight up spooks. Very few games have ever left me in tears, and this is definitely one of them.
The first Dead Space, so good. From the ambient to the gameplay… So hyped for the rework (sad because of how it went with the 3rd one)
Alien Isolation for sure. The only gripe I have with the game is that the alien can be "OP" from time to time, I don't even make a single squeak and it still knows exactly where I'm at or it just camps out near the exit.
Scary atmosphere is between outlast and fnaf 1 for me gameplay is defo luigi’s mansion 3 (although that’s not much of a scary game now is it)
Doom is a horror game where YOU are the horror.
I didn't expected Green Hell to be scary. But bloody hell, being stuck in the jungle not knowing what all the sounds going on are is terrifying! Gimme zombies any day ?
Alien Isolation with earphones on, in a dark room, is the scariest and most immersive gaming experience I've ever had. It's needs a sequel, desperately.
For me, it was The Last of us. Maybe many will say it's not a "horror" per say.. I was never so "tense" and shallow breathing like moment before university, with tunnel swarm with clickers and 2 Bloaters…I was never so relieved when I passed next to them after 15 minutes of planning, testing and drying
Played outlast with the LABO VR on not a VR game but still scared the s**T out of me! ?
I have to admit Outlast 1 & 2, although i am not a fan of horror games, but Outlast feels like a true horror game, from the start to finish just straight horror no break. One of the top horror game out there.
I'm not really one for horror, so I haven't played many. I've previously played Darkwood and Dying Light on PC though, and both are pretty incredible. I doubt I'd ever manage to play a good chunk of the games mentioned on this list.
Great video but you should have mentioned dying light isn't on UK store atm due to banning from Germany
It has to be Amnesia the Dark Descent. The sound design in that game makes it so darn scary ?
Easily the scariest game I've ever played.
Darkwood is a must play if you like horror! And it's proper horror, no jumpscares, which is so hard to do but they nailed it. The game uses some very clever audio design and a limited cone of vision that is just genius…. You should really play it… Have I said it's genius?
Little Nightmares for a very long time now.
