Horror Game Recommendations

[ReggieSpaghetti]

I have litteraly play a lot of horror games, and i mean a LOT. i ve been playing horror games since the ps1 ( im 20) so if you have any recommendations for horror games/ mods for ANY console please tell me. it doesnt just have to be on steam ( i have a ps1, ps2 xbox360, ds, and i think thats it). i like a challenge so dont hold back on recommendations and i may have also already played it. thanks a lot for the suggestions for anyone who posts.

As much as I adore the Silent Hill series, I cannot in good faith recommend Silent Hill Homecoming - sadly the only one available on Steam - on the PC, if you get it then at least get the console version. It's bad enough without the horrific port added in. Same goes for Resident Evil 4. Get that one on GAMECUBE.

Sadly, Steam is fairly deficient in really good horror, I'd like to see them pick up some of the old favourites (maybe they will, who knows) like Undying, Nocturne, Sanitarium, Shivers and Shivers 2, Barrow Hill, The Lost Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure, the rest of the Silent Hill games that are available on PC, and the Alone in the Dark series.

Much rather have the re-mastered version for PS3 or the copy I already have for my PS2

favorite game: outlast

costs 34,99 (it maybe changed i dunno)

why i love it: no puzzles, jumpscares, no puzzles, suspense, no puzzles, freaky and no puzzles

p.s the best thing is that it has no puzzles

Impossible to choose just one, so I'll just list a few amazing ones.

>Amnesia: The Dark Descent. (PC) Still the scariest experience I've had in a game, hands down.

>Siren (original title: Forbidden Siren). (PS2) It's a very difficult stealth-survival horror mix but so amazingly creepy and disturbing, and very entertaining for those with darker tastes.

>Fatal Frame. (PS2) Most people seem to prefer FF2, but this one is still my favourite of the series. I find its creeping and horrifying plot almost unmatched. So many twists and scares and horrible revelations in this one ...

>Silent Hill 2. (PS2) Still the best of the Silent Hill franchise even today. There's nothing about this game that will make you sleep well at night. Also the introduction of Pyramid Head, who these days is sadly overused.

>Fatal Frame 2. (PS2) For many of the same reasons as FF1, it's nearly as dark and disturbing as the first and seldom fails to scare even the most steel-nerved people who play it.

>Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder. (PC) This is a point and click sort of horror adventure, but it's far beyond most others. It has some moments that will genuinely send a chill through you. I love the Lovecraftian plot, which is rare to find in any game.

>Scratches: Director's Cut. (PC) Another point and click adventure, this one will make you think twice about a certain type of wall ornament ... forever.

>Silent Hill. (PSX) The original SH definitely belongs on this list, though most people will pick SH2 as the better game. It's dated, but there is still an amazing sense of eerie and deserted atmosphere in it that just sets you on edge.

>Resident Evil. (GC) REmake, as it is called, is a remake of the original Resident Evil for PSX with some greatly updated scares, plot twists, and playability. I loved the original, which pretty much kickstarted the entire survival horror genre's butt, but this one is still better IMHO.

>Cryostasis. (PC) This is a little known first-person shooter/adventure hybrid with interesting puzzles where you must jump into the memories of dead crewmembers on a derelict Russian icebreaker ship in order to 'take back' their incorrect decisions and thus save them from their fates. All the while, you are being hunted by horrific semi-mechanical alien-human hybrids of some sort, in a setting where heat is your only friend along with whatever weapons you can find. You have no health bar, but instead you have a heat bar. The game, sadly, is badly optimized and suffers from framerate issues, but I still love it.



... There are others.

Oblivion. Why you may ask? because there was to many moments where a NPC would randomly talk to you and the game would spin your camera behind you and sometime's it would happen in dungeons! For example in a quest for the Mage's guild some guy JUMPED DOWN the stairs landed behind me and then proceeded to start a converstaion with me just to tell me he was going to kill me!

Oblivion was actually pretty scary. Committing a crime on a stormy night... you never would know when a guard would come up behind you and yell "STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM."

Morrowind was pretty scary as well. Not only do you get chased by hundreds of cliffracers, but there's also a good chance you'll fall through the floor and the world to be stuck in the void forever.

Sorry I deleted my original comment. I deleted it because I realized this was for actual horror games and Oblivion is technically not one. And what Shasow quoted was what my comment was.

Certain games do have some 'horror' elements that aren't technically horrror though, just as an aside. The Thief series for example has a few well known scary segments.

[Littlefoot]

Resident Evil 3.

[i$mil3y]

[Spagett]

that orphanage/asylum mission in Thief Deadly Shadows was pretty creepy.

[Divine Flesh]

Elder Scrolls games could be pretty scary.

Daggerfall's first dungeon was DAMN scary for beginners.

"Oh hey, a bat, oh hey it died easily, i'm gonna open this door and OH MY GOD A GRIZZLY BEAR!"

But my favorite is Alone in the Dark.

Silent Hill 2 had a pretty decent PC port, but it's a pain in the boo-boo to find. Try Ebay.
