This spiritual successor to Until Dawn takes players to a remote summer camp deep in the woods of Hackett’s Quarry. The start of the game teases a monster on the campgrounds and then fast forwards to the last day of camp. Due to one counselor’s wish for his summer fling to continue, their transport is sabotaged. This strands the counselors overnight at the camp without knowing what awaits them when the sun goes down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Quarry takes the same choice-driven narrative as Supermassive Games’ greatest hits while giving players responsibility for their largest cast to date. Twists and turns await anyone brave enough to spend the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he first finds awful mutated corpses with unnatural limbs running wild all over the ship. With only his engineering knowledge and iron will, Isaac must fight the Necromorph threat and figure out exactly what happened for things to become this nightmarish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remake offers the same Dead Space you might know but with every aspect enhanced. If you thought the original game made you afraid to play it in the dark, there’s a new king in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Chris Redfield storms in and shoots Mia dead in front of him, Ethan finds himself wandering an eerily abandoned Romanian village. The series once again steers away from zombies, and instead, you’ll mostly be fighting creepy werewolf creatures and worse. However, several unique figures watch over this region, but they messed up by giving Ethan a big reason to track them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first-person camera returns, giving an all-new claustrophobic atmosphere to gothic castles and weird industrial mazes. Plus, the whole game is playable with the PSVR2, so you can experience all the frights right in your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the president’s daughter has been kidnapped and brought somewhere in Europe, only one special agent (and previous zombie apocalypse survivor) has the skills to get her back. Leon must use all of his mettle (and inventory space) to track her down. The fourth game in the series introduces the Las Plagas virus, which completely changes the usual zombie formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resident Evil 4 is hailed as one of the best games ever made, so there’s no excuse not to try this excellent remake if you’ve never played it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s not Leon Kennedy, so the tension in encounters is extremely palpable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re familiar with the first Little Nightmares, you know some of what to expect. The story follows Mono, who suddenly awakens in a forest on the edges of a hunter’s shack. After saving another child from the hunter, the pair continues through several terrifying locations. The worst, however, is a hospital full of doll-like people that will only move in the dark. If you’re scared of the Doctor Who Weeping Angels, try fighting them as a shin-tall child with a flashlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the game still sticks to the side-scrolling aspect, the excellent monster design occasionally makes Little Nightmares 2<\/a> feel like a messed-up children’s book.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
