Favorite Horror Game?


In virtute Dei

Recommended Posts

Well, I'd distinguish between "Favorite" and "Scariest". If we're talking scariest I think I'd have to say Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Penumbra: Black Plague is pretty darn terrifying too but I'd still give it to Amnesia.

For a favorite... that'd be harder for me to say. I love a lot of horror games. Silent Hill 2, the remake of the original Resident Evil, System Shock 2, Eternal Darkness, Alien: Isolation... I'm not sure which one I'd pick if I had to choose one. I love a lot of horror-themed games too which I wouldn't really put in the same category - things like the Dead Space series, Resident Evil from 4 onwards, that sort of thing - great games that aren't really that horrifying just because they give way too much power to the player.

Props on a shout out for Phantasmagoria haha. I loved that game. The second one's actually really good too, and even gorier/racier than the original. @In virtute Dei, Phantasmagoria is an old FMV horror game for PC. It was actually pretty controversial at the time for having some particularly gory moments. I love a lot of those FMV/digitized-actor games like Ripper, 7th Guest, Dark Seed, Harvester, Noctropolis... they're cheesy as crap but I have a real soft spot for them :P
