Fans of the horror genre have an interesting variety of games to try, and so today we’re going to highlight 6 that can make your Halloween even more sinister and fun at the same time. Check it out!
- The Outlast Trials
Outlast is already a very well-known franchise of this genre in the gaming world, and after two games that were already very successful at that time, now fans have a slightly different, but equally frightening, experience. The Outlast Trials features a multiplayer experience, where you can form groups of up to 4 players, a great way to have fun and be scared with friends.
In the game, you are thrown into a brutal, claustrophobic experience in a dark laboratory where players must face experimental horrors created by the Murkoff Corporation. The game’s plot takes place during the Cold War, and the characters are “volunteers” forced to participate in disturbing experiments. The objective is simple: survive the tests that challenge your mental and physical sanity.
- A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead
Launched a few days ago, this comes as another great game with the potential to leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. And in silence. Inspired by the already famous horror film franchise, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead takes players to a post-apocalyptic world where sound is their greatest enemy. Just like in the film, alien creatures hypersensitive to sound chase any noise.
An interesting feature of the game is that it can activate your microphone, which means you have to be silent in real life too, while the creatures chase you. Along the way you need to use stealth, know how to move silently and solve puzzles without attracting attention. The game brings a tense and at the same time immersive atmosphere, and puts you inside this scary universe, always on constant alert.
- Devour
Devour is that classic horror game that you have in your library, but that you only play in special moments or when you want to get scared, and there’s nothing better than doing that on Halloween, right? It’s a multiplayer game, so at least you won’t be screaming alone, you can be sure of that, and it has several stages and a difficulty that challenges players.
In the game, you and three other players take on the role of cultists trying to stop a possessed cult leader from summoning evil entities. Each map features a unique scenario, and the objective of the game is to perform rituals to banish the spirit that pursues the players. The plot is simple, but the game makes up for it with an unsettling atmosphere and increasing difficulty as players progress. The main mechanic is simple, finding specific items to complete rituals, but the problem is that you need to do this while being hunted by diabolical entities. Communication is important, but remember that screams are heard by the creatures! Devour is a great horror game that won’t go out of style, making it an interesting option to play with friends, as each session is unpredictable.
- Silent Hill 2 Remake
Another game that has been released recently and has great potential to bring back the horror of classics is Silent Hill 2 Remake. Anyone who is already a fan of the franchise and even those who would like to know the story better now has the chance to do so with this version that features improved gameplay, updated graphics, but maintains the essence of psychological horror that made the original game so iconic.
Silent Hill 2 Remake takes us back to James Sunderland’s disturbing journey. Searching for answers about a letter sent by his late wife, he finds himself in the mysterious town of Silent Hill. The city is surrounded by dense fog and filled with bizarre creatures that represent James’ traumas and regrets. The game features an immersive narrative and psychological horror, which makes this remake a fantastic choice for those looking for a more introspective and atmospheric horror on Halloween.
- Little Nightmares
Little Nightmares is an incredible game that can be recommended on many occasions, but this Halloween you have an even greater reason to finally check out the game or even remember the story if you’ve already played it. It turns out that Little Nightmares 3 is scheduled to be released next year, which is already close, and so it’s worth taking advantage of this Halloween to prepare for that release.
The first game in the franchise was a success and is still cited as a great horror game to this day. In it, players control a little girl named Six, who is trapped on a ship full of grotesque creatures and scenarios worthy of a nightmare. During the plot, she must find a way to escape, solving puzzles and avoiding the monsters that chase her. The game’s aesthetic is unique, with characters that look like they came out of a children’s horror story, but quickly transform into something much darker.
Oh, and of course, the franchise also has a second game, Little Nightmares 2, which is equally incredible, so if you like the first, you’ll certainly like the 2.
- Dead by Daylight
When you think about Halloween, about horror films from that period, usually the first thing that comes to mind is the good old slasher, that is, those classic films where there is a killer chasing his victims. So you can’t help but mention a game that brings a bit of this atmosphere by putting you in the role of either the killer or the victims.
Of course, we’re talking about Dead by Daylight, a classic of this genre that remains alive and beloved by many players to this day. It is one of the most popular multiplayer horror games of recent years, ideal for groups who want to compete and survive together. The game offers a wide variety of killers, each with their own skills and characteristics, including iconic horror movie characters such as Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger.
The gameplay is asynchronous, with four players playing the role of survivors and one playing the role of killer. Survivors must work as a team to repair generators and escape before the killer captures them. The killer must prevent the escape, using his unique skills to find and eliminate each of the survivors. The combination of tension, chase and teamwork makes Dead by Daylight an intense experience and ideal for Halloween, guaranteeing scares and fun with friends.
