What's your favorite horror game?

Post by annihilator3 »

Since it's Halloween time, it's only appropriate to ask this question. My favorite horror game is Resident Evil 2 (1998). I love really every aspect of the game from the gameplay, soundtrack, enemies, atmosphere, story, and characters. My only nitpick is that it's a little too easy. I wish the hard mode was on every port instead of just the DreamCast and PC versions, and that the zombies weren't complete bullet sponges. So what's your pick for favorite?

I really agree with RE2 on PSX to be among (if not the) best horror games around. On the topic of retro, a PS2 era horror game I really enjoyed was Clocktower 3. The plot is a little goofy but I had fun with the mechanics and it wasn't overly difficult.

If I had to pick an overall favorite I would say Quake. When I played through it, The music and art style make it feel like a living nightmare. I think my current favorite is Mortuary Assistant. Just the atmosphere of the morgue is creepy and the devs did a great job with the sound design and the cadaver prep process.

Also: RE2 had the best safe room music of all the RE games I've played so far (just finished 6).

Nice to see another RE2 OG fan, I'll be sure to check out Clocktower 3 and Quake whenever I have the free time.

I highly recommend playing OG RE2. It's a great game and has a decent amount of content not in the remake. It has tons of ports so there's many ways to play it. Also if you're interested and you've never played a fixed camera angled RE game before, I recommend playing Resident Evil 1 Remake with the original controls on. Another good game and will get you adjusted easier to the controls than RE2. If using controller be sure to use the D-pad for movement.

yo I like FNAF too!  I really enjoy the lore, and I feel like the only FNAF fan in existence whose favorite game is Security Breach, I got the ruin dlc for it, too.  I have the whole tales from the pizzaplex series, all 3 silver eyes books, and i've read the Fazbear frights series, but I only have a few books from the series lol

My FAVORITE horror game of all time has gotta be Nanashi No Gemu (The Nameless Game) and Nanashi No Gemu: Me (The Nameless Game: Eye). They were made by Square Enix actually, and they were Japan exclusive games for the Nintendo DS and they released in 2006 and 2008 iirc.
