The 10 Scariest Horror Games Of This Generation

Players take on the role of Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th series of horror films, while up to seven other players take on the role of camp counselors. Jason’s sole objective is to kill each of these players, and they meanwhile attempt to survive by waiting out the timer of twenty minutes, escaping by use of a vehicle, being rescued by police, or by having Thomas "Tommy" Jarvis, a protagonist from some of the films, arrive with a shotgun to save the


Another thing that can be found in those treasure chests is a tool kit. Tool kits are most used for speeding up repairs on the generators, but what they can also do is break hooks. If a survivor breaks a hook, the killer can no longer use it which means if they catch you, they'll have to wander much further to find a hook — giving you more time to wiggle out of their grasp. A few seconds can mean everything in this game so if you're repairing a generator next to a hook, consider breaking it fi


But even though the concept of the game itself is pretty simple, there are a lot of mechanics to the game that take some practice, such as the skill checks required to repair generators. And if we dig even deeper, there's a lot that can be done in the Adventure game Guide that players actually have no idea ab

Meanwhile, Dead by Daylight has detailed characters and killers, and the graphics are just a lot more seamless. If you want to play based on visuals because that's what keeps you invested, you now know which game to cho


The Nightmare (Freddy Krueger) wasn’t a great killer, but he wasn’t awful either, the survivor Quentin Smith was mediocre but capable of making it through the night. What really killed this DLC was the map Springw


Resident Evil 7: Biohazard 's new spin on the franchise was a gutsy move for the company, but it paid off. After the disaster that was Resident Evil 6 , developer Capcom needed to revamp their franchise. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is full of scares and fun gameplay as w


If you find a medical kit in one of the treasure boxes littered around the map, you can perform the skill checks on yourself. That way, if you get injured, there's no need to rely on someone else healing you up — find a quiet corner on your own, and get work


When it comes to the killers specifically, it has to be a tie. Sure, Daylight has more variable options, but Friday has to be given a nod for the sheer fact that it's given each version of Jason something original, with different strengths and weaknesses. The fact the killers vary in both games means that you can switch around and they're both endlessly


This spooky season, there are two multiplayer horror games for PC and console you might want to play with friends: Friday the 13th and Dead by Daylight . The games share a lot of similarities when it comes to their base concept — survivors are dropped into a match and one person is the killer. The aim of the survivors is to escape, and the aim of the killers is to finish the match with no one left alive. Sounds pretty simple and similar, but the games have some key differences and there are some points of contention about which of the horror games is actually better. Strap in, because we're here to decide once and for


Pallets can be dropped while you run from the killer that will take them a second to break while coming after you, meaning they'll be slowed down. However, if you're feeling especially brave, you can wait at the pallet for the killer to catch up and if you drop it at the right second, they'll be stunned and have to wait even longer. They'll also look down, so they might miss which direction you ran off


Another item you can get through the treasure chests (or through the bloodweb, as with the medical and tool kits) is a flashlight. If you point it directly in the killer's eyes, it will stun them and if they're trying to carry someone to a hook, they will be forced to drop them. It's a risky move, since you have to go straight into the killer's line of vision, but it's a brilliant teammate rescue if you can pull it off. And it'll definitely annoy the kil

Your goal is to fix five generators in the level that will power the door leading to safety and get out. The levels are procedurally generated each time, though, so you’re never going to be able to memorize the layout and map the most efficient routes; you’re going to need to balance exploration with stealth in order to find the generators without getting spotted and winding up on one of the killer’s meat hooks. Every time you run, you leave a trail through the woods the killer will see and follow straight to you, so when you’re looking around, tread lightly. Fixing a generator doesn’t require much more than time and a bit of timing as a prompt similar to the Gears of War active reload pops up occasionally to make sure you’re still paying attention. Missing that prompt is a surefire way to get the killer on your tail as it causes the generator to make a loud noise with a visual icon on the killer’s display.
