Resident Evil himself, Shinji Mikami, both The Evil Within games represent some of the very best “classical” survival horror games in recent memory. There are spooky games on the Xbox, and then there’s Hellblade.ĭirected by Mr. Turn the lights down, put on your best pair of headphones, and let it unnerve the living hell out of you. It is a remarkable game, honest and unflinching about the issues it wants to draw attention to, and is unafraid to terrify you with the depth of its honesty. For everyone else, Senua’s Sacrifice is a dark, scary single-player voyage into the mind of a person who requires a great deal of help. This is a game that strikes at the dark heart of untreated mental health, and the way it manifests the contortions of Senua’s mind are occasionally an assault on the senses. I cannot stress this enough: if you are the sort of person who suffers from audio processing issues or disorders, you should probably avoid Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Perfect for a Halloween evening of multiplayer nonsense. It’s moody, atmospheric, and just a little bit dumb. Every run changes up enemy spawn locations so you never know what may be hiding right around the corner. The spiritual successor to the Left 4 Dead series, Back 4 Blood is a game about working with your friends to overcome rapacious zombie hordes, stay prepared for any threat, and escape your terrifying situation unscathed.
Let’s say you’re not planning on heading out for Halloween, but are preparing to have a nice night online with friends. Hiding in a cupboard as the Xenomorph sweeps the room looking for you, hoping it doesn’t detect your presence, are among the most tense and thrilling moments in any survival horror game of the last decade. These sequences are without a doubt some of the scariest moments in any licensed video game ever made. It perfectly replicates the look and feel of Ridley Scott’s moody original film, asking the player to hustle around a derelict space station while a ravenous, predatory Xenomorph stalks the halls. The Creative Assembly’s accidental horror masterpiece, the first half of Alien Isolation is like playing through the best Alien movie 20th Century Fox forgot to make.
