Alien Isolation

But FEAR has the best jump scares. Condemned comes close.

These would probably be my top 3.



Around the Network

Clock Tower (ps1), Alone in the Dark The New Nightmare (dreamcast), Silent Hill 4 The Room (ps2)

Also this.

Sneaking around the corridors of Sevastapol, trying to avoid the xenomorph and being insta-killed with no chance of escape if you were spotted was absolutely nerve-shattering and a masterclass in creating fear without the need for cheap scripted scares. Awesome game.

Exactly. The way the game actually made you feel your nerves breaking was an experience i've never had with any other game. Its just you never felt safe while playing i had to force myself just to move forward. To be honest i dont know if i could bring myself to play a sequel unless they took about 5 hours off the game and made it a bit shorter i honestly think otherwise id end up having a heart attack.

Yeah as much as I thought the game was brilliant, I'll never play it again, I'm sure it took several years off my life haha.

And I was playing on the easiest setting, I can't imagine what it's like on hard.



Resident Evil 7 in VR.
So scary, I bought all of the dlc and I'm afraid to play it. Beat the main game, though. I guess that's something.



Clock tower with scissor hands on ps1. Nothing comes close to that

Doom 3 I actually found kinda scary; not in a very cerebral way, just in a visceral "oh shit a monster could be lurking in every pitch black corner or behind every door, ah shit there is one and it's gonna kill me" kind of way.

I'm actually too scared to play Visage. Haunted house with realistic graphics and lots of scares is too much for me.

I have no problems with Outlast, Resident Evil, or Silent Hill. Even if RE7 scared me a bit.

I was going to say Visage. Amazing horror game and spooky as hell too.



I dunno...I guess either RE7 or Outlast. REmake 2 felt creepy and had a good horror vibe too I guess.

The Regenerators in RE4 scared the living daylights out of me, to the point where I have literally had nightmares about them.

Their horrific appearance, movement, the music, and the fact you fight them in enclosed areas with nowhere to run is terrifying enough, but that raspy breathing, good grief, it makes me skin crawl just recalling it.



Dungeon Master 2: Skullkeep on the SegaCD

Runner up: Superman 64 because it was so terrible
