10 Best Modern Horror Games

March and April may not hold as many options as previous months, but there are still quite a few good picks available. Suits returns to USA; Whose Line Is It Anyway? proves what works, works (Learn Even more Here on the CW); PBS finally premieres the BBC mini-series Mr. Selfridge starring Jeremy Piven; Orphan Black returns to BBC America; and Game of Thrones season 4 premieres… at some po


The disturbed ward is the asylum version of the Crotus Prenn maps that includes many places for survivors to take killers on a chase, including a shack, main buildings, and the greenhouse outside without it being too one-si


It may be tempting to leave someone who got hooked to their fate, but if the killer has left after hooking them, it’s worth pulling down for the Bloodpoints alone; even if they didn’t do the same for you at some po


It may be a little on the cheesy side, but The Evil Within 2 is still a step above the original game in almost every way imaginable. Refining the Resident Evil 4 -style of survival-horror, The Evil Within 2 offers some classic horror action combined with open world sections that help it stand apart from other games in the genre. As we noted in our review for The Evil Within 2 , the game is easily one of the best survival-horror games in years, and even those disappointed by the first one may want to give the sequel a s


The map included with the Silent Hill Chapter, Midwich Elementary School, was full of fun little easter eggs from the Silent Hill game, such as a girl crying in the bathrooms, a body falling out of a locker, and if the survivors complete the generators in a certain order, the clock tower will open up to reveal the secrets ins


After standing still, all they need to do is press the Active Ability button to summon forward a lute to play a song. The effects of the song are determined by the role of a d20, with only a natural one having an adverse effect. 2-10 gives skill checks more progression, 11-19 increasing this progression from 1 to 2, and a natural 20 equaling 3%, the effects last 90 seconds. This allows Survivors to repair generators with great efficiency, and better their odds of escaping al


The holidays are now over, and 2014 is upon us, and with it comes a television premiere/return schedule even more complicated than in the fall. As old and new favorites return from break, even more old and new shows will begin to premiere, and it will be up to you to decide what to and, more importantly, what not to wa


The other variant of the Crotus Prenn realm is Father Campbells Church, the dedicated map for the Clown, introduced into the game upon his release. This variant sees the asylum in the centre of the map replaced by a church which can be a strong loop point for survivors, but with a bit of mind-gaming and cutting survivors off from vaults, killers can catch out survivors h


If you’re being chased, there’s no point in running away in a straight line — the killer is faster all the time, and will definitely catch up in a matter of seconds. Try to zigzag through obstacles and switch between indoors and outdoors if possi


This is the perfect game for INTJ types who enjoy accomplishing their goals in solitude but know that their work is going to help others.

Looking out for your friends is important in a game like this, and not only because you want them to repay the favor later. The game awards Bloodpoints for pulling people off hooks and for healing them (which is where your skill checks will come in handy aga


A balanced and quite stylish map, Family Residence is the Spirit's version of the Yamaoka Estate, of which there are currently two variants. With nods to traditional Japanese aesthetics, such as a typical Japanese-style building with tatami walls and gazebos with ritual-like altars, Family Residence is well-desig


Survivors are sure to feel it when they run out of charges. Exultation allows them to recoup some of their losses while also upgrading the rarity of their item. As such, this perk can definitely see use in trials, but the only caveat is that players must land a pallet stun in order for the perk to w

INFJ types will get a kick out of Control as it requires significant out of the box thinking to adapt to new powers as they become available, negotiate the twisting labyrinth of the of the facility, and come up with clever strategies for putting down bosses.

For players looking for a role focused on healing and support, Desperate Measures is what they're looking for. Belonging to Felix Richter, Desperate Measures will increase the action speeds in both healing and unhooking Survivors by up to 14% per injured Survivor, which can total up to a 56% incre
