Forums - Gaming Discussion - What´s the scariest game of the 7th generation?

Fatal Frame 4, easily.

I legit had to sleep with the light on one night after playing it.

Just creeping down corridors, feeling watched, and never knowing when a deadly phantom might appear through a wall or materialise right behind you, gets the adrenaline pumping. The main antagonist, an invincible not-quite-ghost, can show up at any time, forcing you to run for your life. More than once I had to take a moment to gather my courage before going into an area where I'd recently seen her. Sound design really helps, with a chilling suite of heartbeats, moans, and ambient noises to curdle the blood.

It doesn't just rely on "terror" either. Some of the scariest scenes are the quiet ones, where you see a ghost enact his last few seconds of life, cowering and pleading in a dead end in an underground tunnel, where he and the last survivors of his island tried to hide from a being neither alive nor dead, who roamed the entire island killing at will, until its population of thousands was exterminated.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls walking around with penty of souls is scary for fear of losing them.


Oh gawd yes. 



I think the scariest games were on PC this gen. Outside of Sirene Blood curse there wasn't really something scary.

I will go on Horror withdrawal for the next year(s) until Oculus rift for the mass market arrives. And than I will play the new Amnesia with surround headphones and VR and immerse myself in the game. Even cheap jump scares seem to be scary when using it. Totally cut of reality with Human sized creatures and real 3D will be a totally different level of fear.



Probably Amnesia without having played it (though I own it).

Overall it's Condemned Criminal Origins for me.

I didn't think Condemned wasn't scary enough, though it really tried sometimes and had that heavy atmosphere. Probably the best moment is the infamous Mr. Tibbits dead scene investigation.

Guitar Hero, through the fire and flames on the hardest mode.

the most scary sight of all time to me.



amnesia if you play it in a dark room without other sound/people around you. game is really scary because of the sound so please, everyone who didn't play it yet, play it only when it's dark and when you are alone in the room, otherwise it doesn't really work

finished the game a week or so ago and it was a nice experience, can't wait for a machine for pigs




Condemned Criminal Origins on consoles and Amnesia on PC.



Dark Souls. Try walking around the Tomb of Giants for the first time with 80.000 souls and 10 humanity on you.



Siren Blood Curse
