Top 31 Horror Games of All Time - Countdown to Halloween
Horror video games have been a part of the industry nearly since its birth, with really old-school games like Haunted House and 3D Monster Maze standing as some of the absolute earliest examples of the genre. Horror games have come a long way since their humble beginnings, with some horror titles considered by many to be some of the best video games ever made. But with decades of high quality horror games to sift through, those who want to get into the horror game genre may not know where to start.
For anyone looking for a good horror game to play this October, we have compiled a list of what we believe to be the top 31 horror games of all time. This list includes everything from creepy virtual reality experiences to groundbreaking industry trendsetters, and we'll be revealing a new entry on the list each day leading up to Halloween. For this list, we considered scare factor, impact on the industry, general quality, and reception of the game at the time of its release.
Here are the top 31 horror video games of all time.
The Exorcist is considered one of the scariest horror movies ever made, to the point that ambulances were literally on-call for some of its showings back when it first premiered in theaters in 1973. The Exorcist: Legion VR may not be quite that scary, but it's still a rather unnerving experience, and one of the best examples of how much virtual reality can enhance a horror game. The game also gets points for not relying entirely on jump scares, but instead cultivating a genuinely creepy atmosphere. Not only is The Exorcist: Legion VR an effectively terrifying horror game, but it is also one of the better-received virtual reality games in general, and a must-have for any VR owners looking for a scare.
The Exorcist: Legion VR is available now for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and PlayStation VR.
Check back tomorrow for the next game on Game Rant's list of the Top 31 Horror Games of All Time!
