Oxenfree, The Count Lucanor, and Darkwood are some of the creepiest indies I played so far. There are far too many horror games on Switch for me to have a comprehensive overview. Haven't played it on Switch but definately worth a mention. Who said horror games must be bloody gorefests?
On Switch I have played just a tiny fraction of its many horror games. Slender: The Arrival however, I will never do again! Not the best game but definately good horror. Lone Survivor was pretty good and crazy but because of its pixel style not too scary and ultimately somewhat of a very short game. On Wii U it's a tie between Maiden of Black Water and ZombiU. And Resident Evil 2, one of those "impossible" games and a stonecold classic. Body Harvest and DOOM 64 gave me a constant sense of dread as well. The spookiest horror game on N64? Possibly the zombie graveyard in Conker's Bad Fur Day. It plays with your senses on a meta level. Honorable mentions: Manhunt 2 and Dead Space Extraction.įor Gamecube I also agree with Eternal Darkness. They're just too good (and too scary) to ignore. I would also add Pandora's Tower and Resident Evil 4 - Wii Edition. But Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon and Project Zero 2 - Wii Edition are extremely unsettling as well. From the first encounter with those ugly humanoid hunters transforming the whole city in some cold icy nightmare to the final story twist I was totally absorbed and amazed (and frightened). Honourable mention: The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return - You’ll be so busy smiling at the endless supply of meme-worthy dialogue you’ll let your guard down just long enough for a screen-filling end of level monstrosity to rush straight towards you and you just can’t seem to hit the weak spot as it raises an axe the size of a car above your head and before you get a chanc-įor Wii it's Silent Hill: Shattered Memories that still makes my hair stand up.
#Resident evil 2 source series
This non-canonical version of Konami’s famous series builds into a surprisingly personal horror story, the revelatory ending perfectly merging Harry’s search for his daughter with your own attempts to uncover the truth. This alternative take on the events of Harry’s search for his daughter in Silent Hill is another horror game keen on drawing the player themselves into the spine-chilling experience, and as such the answers you give to Kaufmann and your own behaviour throughout the game effect everything from character attire to the twisted form the monsters you must run away from take. Release Date: 8th Dec 2009 ( USA) / 26th Feb 2010 ( UK/EU)
