Enter If You Dare - The Best Horror Games Across PC, Console and Mobile

Horror games occupy a unique space in entertainment - they're the only medium where the audience is an active participant in their own fear. You can't look away from a horror game the way you can a horror film. You have to keep moving forward. That active participation is what makes the best horror games genuinely unsettling in a way nothing else can replicate.

The genre splits into distinct flavors. Survival horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill blend resource management with atmospheric dread - you're always underpowered, always short on supplies, always aware that the next encounter could be your last. Psychological horror games like Alan Wake 2 and Layers of Fear use narrative and environment to create unease rather than direct threat. First-person horror games like Amnesia and SOMA remove combat entirely, leaving players with nothing but their instincts and a flashlight.

Resident Evil has led the genre's modern resurgence - the remakes of RE2, RE3, and RE4 are among the best games of the last five years. Silent Hill 2's remake brought Konami's most beloved horror franchise back after years of dormancy. Meanwhile, indie horror continues to innovate - games like Signalis and World of Horror prove the genre thrives at every budget level.
