Resident Evil 7 - a masterclass in horror

Resident Evil is a name that weighs heavily on any gamer in general and the devotee of the best horror games in particular. Resident Evil 7 right from the release of the trailer and demo sparked the community when it brought about fear in different shades.

Set in a nightmarish version of rural Louisiana, the story has Ethan Winters stumbling on an abandoned mansion while searching for his missing wife, Mia. What he discovers, however, is the psychopathic family, who kidnapped and tortured him in their supernatural lair.

2. Layers of Fear

Most games can make you scared to jump, some can make scream loud, but few can make you doubt yourself in real life. Playing as a painter in Layers Of Fear, you will slowly come to insane as you struggle to explore a vast creepy mansion to finish his Magnum Opus.

The house changed unpredictably: doors disappear, corridors warp out of shape; the game reshapes constantly to push the character to madness in only a few hours in, and you'll find yourself questioning everything. With its obsessive design, Layers Of Fear deserves to be listed in the best horror games of all time.

3. Alien: Isolation

Alien: Isolation seems not scary at first but you're wrong!

Huddled in a dark hallway in an abandoned medical place with a xenomorph, the only light coming from a flickering bulb, the gameplay needs to keep the pulse-pounding for every moment.

Alien: Isolation puts you in the role of Amanda, who is searching for a flight recorder at a space station, that will help her learn more about what happened to her mother after the events of the first film. What made these moments so tense was just how clever the Xenomorph’s artificial intelligence was and avoiding it induced a sense of fear.

4. P.T.
