Horror games are particularly effective at being scary – it’s not just about sudden shocks. They build tension through unsettling environments, compelling stories, and the fear of what you *don’t* know. Over time, the genre has become more complex, moving beyond simple survival to explore psychological fears and use clever techniques to create lasting impressions. Here, we’ve compiled a list of 20 of the greatest horror games ever made, each offering a unique and memorable kind of terror that stays with you long after you finish playing.
