2022PCPlayStationXboxNintendo SwitchSteam Deck verified91 % positive19.50 €

  • Dread and tension
  • Open world
  • Lots to discover

You roam an open island in an upgradeable locomotive, take on missions, and hunt Charles, a monstrous spider-legged killer train that keeps stalking you. The mix of train upgrades, exploration, and campy horror is distinctive.

The Evil Within 2

Dread and tension

Survival horror in which Sebastian Castellanos dives into the surreal STEM world to rescue his daughter. Semi-open town hubs, scarce resources and the freedom to sneak or fight create constant tension.

Tormented Souls

Dread and tension

A survival horror throwback to early Resident Evil with fixed camera angles, intricate puzzles and scarce ammo. You guide Caroline through a decaying mansion full of secrets and grotesque creatures.

The Sinking City

Open world

As a 1920s private eye in the half-drowned town of Oakmont, you solve eerie cases by reconstructing crime scenes and drawing your own conclusions, with little hand-holding, in a Lovecraftian nightmare. Thick atmosphere and morally grey decisions carry the game, while the combat is serviceable rather than great.

No Players Online Classic

Easy to pick up

You wander through the abandoned servers of a once-busy multiplayer shooter, where only silence and something unsettling remain. The game lives on its eerie atmosphere and the question of what has been left behind in the empty maps.

Remorse: The List

Dread and tension

You explore the remote Hungarian village of Hidegpuszta, using a cryptic list as your only lead to uncover what is going on. Searching every corner thoroughly is how you reveal its secrets and survive.

Resident Evil

Dread and tension

The survival horror blueprint: scarce ammo, tight inventory and interlocking puzzles in a zombie-infested mansion, with fixed camera angles building constant dread and a campy charm.

Deadly Premonition

Open world

As eccentric FBI agent York you investigate a murder in the small town of Greenvale, a mix of Twin Peaks-style mystery, bizarre humor and clunky survival horror. Technically rough, but beloved as a cult classic for its unforgettable characters.
