Best Horror Games to Play This Halloween

If you’re looking to get stuck in with the scary season but aren’t sure what games to play for Halloween, this list compiles some of the best horror games that you can pick up. The list will include both indie games and triple-A for those who prefer a smaller-scale experience. Hold on to your hats, as this list features some of the best scares you can get on the market right now.

Silent Hill 2 Remake

Whether you play the original Silent Hill 2 or the Silent Hill 2 Remake that was recently released, you’re in for a good time. The Remake did a great job of keeping it authentic and much like the original, but added in some extra scares and puzzles to keep the game fresh. For the best experience, you’ll want to play this game with headphones, as Bloober Team knocked the sound design out of the park. From Mary’s little gasps to the possible chance of hearing whispering from the original, you’re not going to want to miss out on all the easter eggs they’ve included in the Silent Hill 2 Remake.

Outlast

Outlast is one of the classic horror games that most people play or try to play when diving into the horror genre. If you haven’t played it already, you’re missing out. Having to explore an abandoned asylum where the lights don’t seem to work very often adds to the atmosphere. Combine that with having to use your video camera to be able to navigate and see your surroundings; it can get pretty intense.

Be warned, there is a ton of nudity and a lot of gore, so it may not be the horror game for you if you’re the squeamish type.
