Silent Hill 3

Lavish presentation

Heather is dragged into a nightmarish otherworld where a mall, a subway and a hospital rot into rust, flesh and blood. Disturbing imagery, Akira Yamaoka's oppressive soundtrack and cryptic puzzles carry the game, while clumsy, desperate combat keeps every encounter tense.

I Am Alive

Pure single-player experience

A grim survival adventure set in a dust-shrouded ruined city where limited stamina, scarce resources and risky climbing define the experience. Instead of constant gunplay it relies on bluffing with an empty weapon and tension while searching for the hero's family.

Silent Hill: Homecoming

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A grim survival horror in which a soldier returns home to Shepherd's Glen to find his missing brother. Melee combat against grotesque monsters, puzzles and an oppressive atmosphere define the experience.

Silent Hill: Origins

Pure single-player experience

A prequel to the first Silent Hill, in which trucker Travis Grady shifts between the real town and its nightmare twin, solving puzzles and scraping through clunky melee fights. Oppressive atmosphere and disturbing monsters are the main draw.

In Sound Mind

Pure single-player experience

A first-person psychological horror where you dive into the nightmares and memories of a therapist's patients. Inventive environmental puzzles, unusual boss fights and a standout original soundtrack define the experience.

Hollowbody

Pure single-player experience

A short tech-noir survival horror set in an abandoned British city: as smuggler Mica you search for your missing partner with scarce resources. It mixes exploration, puzzles and gunplay in the spirit of classic PS1-era horror games.

Heartworm

Distinctive, stylised art style

A survival horror game in the spirit of the 90s that blends fixed camera angles with over-the-shoulder views. You fend off threats with a camera and solve puzzles about death in a world built from memories.

Ad Infinitum

Lavish presentation

An atmospheric first-person horror game set in World War I where you sneak through trenches, solve puzzles and evade nightmarish creatures while uncovering a soldier's traumatic past.

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A grim first-person horror thriller where you hunt serial killers as detective Ethan Thomas. Gritty melee combat with pipes, lockers and other scavenged objects plus a oppressive atmosphere define the experience.
