The 25 best horror games to play right now

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Weighing up the best horror games is a bloody business. Not only are we comparing some of the most iconic video game locations and enemies of all time, the genre is known for its tense, stressful combat mechanics (or lack thereof), winding narratives, and gorgeously gruesome visuals tying each experience together. What's not to love? But as one of the most popular genres ever, you might be stuck on which of the spooky greats to play next – or where to start your journey, if you're new to these parts. Lucky for you, this list compiles the very best horror games from across the years, each a legend in its own right. No subgenre has been ignored on our hunt for the best horror games ever, no matter your tastes. Below, you'll find the best survival horror games sitting pretty next to cute-creepy offering Little Nightmares 2, a demonic corpse-embalming simulator, and even a roguelike with a decidedly unnerving premise. With so many upcoming horror games still to come in 2025 and 2026, including Resident Evil Requiem (finally), this list is likely to change faster than you can say "don't look behind you." But now's as good a time as any to clear that backlog in From key entries in the Resident Evil timeline to skin-crawling indies that will have your heart in your throat, get your eyes down for the best horror games of all time to play right now. The 25 best horror games of all time, starting with... 25. The Mortuary Assistant Developer: Dark Stone DigitalPlatforms: Nintendo Switch, PC Picture it: it's your first day of your new job at River Fields Mortuary. You're going about your day, happily embalming the dearly departed on your gurney, when you see an ominous woman in white staring back at you from the end of the long, long corridor toward the morgue. Whispering fills your ears, and when you look back at the table, the body is gone. This is just one of many procedurally-generated moments in The Mortuary Assistant, a horror game that places a scalpel in your hand and a demon in your soul as you fight to exorcise it before you become fully possessed. 24. Returnal Developer: HousemarquePlatform: PS5 This might not seem like an obvious scary game but there's a strong vein of cosmic horror running through everything Returnal does - and the same goes for upcoming sequel Saros. This time looping roguelike is littered with Lovecraftian alien ruins, wrong-shaped monsters, and a terror that comes from trying not to die every 10 minutes. I get that it's a big ask to try this as it is all about trying to fight through waves of monsters and impossible feeling boss fights. But there's a great atmosphere to it all and a disturbing story that gradually unfolds as you piece together the past and your place in it. 23. Mouthwashing Developer: Wrong OrganPlatform(s): PC via Steam Mouthwashing was a breakout indie horror hit of 2024, and that means it deserves a mention among the greats. Don't be fooled by the 3D pixel vibe - this is no cozy life sim, but a psychological horror game dripping with atmosphere, dread, and a hefty dose of "WTF" factor. I mean that in a very good way, because Mouthwashing will leave you feeling unnerved for more reasons than just the labyrinthine space ship you seem to be trapped on... 22. Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Developer: TecmoPlatforms: PS4 and Xbox One (via backwards compatibility) Picking up on the tropes of Japanese horror and folklore that were made famous in The Ring and Ju-on, the Fatal Frame series has always been unsettling. Characters are frozen in place with fear, their only weapon against soul-stealing ghosts is an ancient camera. This means the only way to fight your enemies is to face them head-on, an increasingly terrifying proposition as the game wears on. The franchise has several great entries, but we choose to single out the second game as the best fit for this list. Crimson Butterfly updates the graphics a bit from the first game, and it's the most inviting in its difficulty, making sure there's an ever-present threat without getting too frustrating. It also has the best story, a personal journey between two sisters dealing with loss and guilt. It's always nice when the intense experience is backed up by a plot that's deeper than 'survive'. 21. Mundaun Developer: Hidden FieldsPlatforms: PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Switch Mundaun is a weird creepy little game with a The Lighthouse and Midsommar vibe to its strange hand-drawn tale. The black and white first-person scares see you revising your Swiss hometown after the death of your grandfather and uncovering [spooky voice] an ancient family curse. The Swiss, 1920s-ish location and folklore, along with the scratchy penciled art, create an otherworldly vibe that gives the whole thing a foreign movie vibe you usually only see in Japanese horror games. It's a little clunky in places, with a few unclear puzzles and goals, but worth powering through if you want to try a horror game built from a different cultural foundation. 20. The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners Developer: Skydance InteractivePlatforms: PS4, PC The only reason this isn't our top horror game full stop is that it's VR, which obviously limits a lot of people's access to it. However, if you can get a VR headset this is an essential horror game. It's one of the greatest playable interpretations of the source material ever made - from swinging axes or stabbing screwdrivers into zombie's heads, to cautiously exploring rotting houses, terrified of every corner - this absolutely nails the zombie horror fantasy. There's a semi-open-world too where you explore and revisit hubs, crisscrossing locations in search of valuable resources, enemies, and allies to help. It's also got nothing to do with the comics or TV show beyond the zombies, so you don't need to be a fan to enjoy it, either. 19. Crow Country Developer: SFB GamesPlatforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC Riffing off the early Resident Evil and Silent Hill games with its fixed camera angles, PS1 graphics, and creeping sense of dread, Crow Country is an indie horror fan's dream come true. Playing as Mara, your mission is to explore an abandoned theme park, working out puzzles, defeating monsters, and counting each bullet before you use it. It's a survival horror game, sure, but it's in league with the best games of the broader horror genre for giving the retro vibe a fresh lick of blood. I mean, paint. 18. Carrion Developer: Phobia Game StudioPlatforms: PS4, PC, Mac, Xbox One and Switch Carrion might look like a bit of fun because it is, but it's also a great horror game that reverses the roles and lets you play the monster. Through its pixelly recreation of tentacles and teeth, it really captures the essence of a good creature feature as you hoover up screaming scientists, rending limb from limb and leaving nothing but parts in your wake. It's excessively gory in a laugh-out-loud way and in between the bloody carnage, there are some decent puzzles to work out using an ever-expanding range of monster powers. 17. Prey Developer: Arkane AustinPlatform: PC, Xbox One, PS4 While Morgan Yu's trek across a space station doesn't offer the breathless horror Dead Space does especially the Mooncrash DLC showed off Prey's potential for horror. A fairly straightforward alien shooter can become much more unsettling when the goal changes from you defending yourself to saving others, and the element of randomization in Mooncrash does a lot in keeping you on your toes. But basic Prey, too, has a certain spookiness to it. Apart from being a brilliant game with many secret nooks and crannies to discover, Prey, just like other Arkane games, gives you a certain freedom of approach. Many stories you come across in its environment tell of horrifying accidents, people trying to flee, or alien encounters. If you want a bit more action but love good environmental storytelling, this is another game you shouldn't sleep on. 16. Little Nightmares 2 Developer: Tarsier StudiosPlatforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC There is something deeply wrong with Little Nightmare 2, in a good way. The sequel really doubles down on the original creepy children's story world but somehow ups the unpleasantness to impressive levels. The weirdness just creeps under your skin as you explore. From creepy juddering mannequins, to faceless, lost people - faces seemingly worn away by the TV static they'll die to stare at - there's little in this game that won't unnerve you, or leave you feeling uncomfortable thinking about it. It can be frustrating at times - the controls never really live up to the demands and there are a few trial and error encounters to blunder through. But stick with it and you'll experience probably one of the most traumatizing games on this list. 15. Until Dawn Developer: Supermassive Games (PS4), Ballistic Moon (PC)Platform: PS4, PC Teen slashers have been around for nearly four decades now, but aside from the abysmal Friday the 13th on NES, games haven't really been brave enough to venture into that territory. Until now. Or rather, Until Dawn (zing), a 2015 survival-horror game about a pack of randy teens going on vacation to an isolated mountain cabin, only to find that some heinous entity is set on killing them off. But it's not all fun and games: the characters will die gruesome deaths if you can't navigate Until Dawn's horror movie logic, and it takes every opportunity to scare the bejaysus out of you. While many games on this list are here because of their fear-factor alone, Until Dawn earns a spot for more meta reasons, too - it's wilfully, soulfully entrenched in horror tradition, and uses those tropes brilliantly. It's packed with winks to the slasher genre, and you'll still love the ridiculous twists even if you see them coming from a mile away. You'll laugh as much as you scream, if not more, and few horror games capture that sense of grisly fun so well. 14. Darkwood Developer: Acid Wizard StudioPlatform: PC The easiest way to describe Darkwood would be to call it a top-down survival game, but while the survival elements exist to keep your character, well, alive, it's less a game about surviving and more about pushing you deeper into its forest of horrors so you can enjoy being creeped out by what you find. The only place you're safe is your hut, so you need to maintain it, but in order to do so, you need to go out – funny how that sometimes turns out. On your journey through the woods, you sometimes find weapons to defend yourself with, but you're better off using meager inventory space in other ways, frantically pointing the cone of light that marks how far you can see to and fro to not miss a thing. Darkwood is proof that even a game from a top-down perspective can be absolutely nerve-wracking. 13. Bloodborne Developer: FromSoftwarePlatform: PS4 From Software's Dark Souls games - of which this is a very obvious descendent - don't play like horror standards. They're action-RPGs, built around stat micromanagement and skillful play. And yet they feel scarier than most games that build themselves around fear - stress, dread, and jumps come as frequently as loot and leveling. Bloodborne is the best of the lot, a sprawling, mysterious tale of eldritch horror set in a twisted nightmare vision of Victorian Europe. Traveling down cobblestone streets amidst dark spires, you'll hear hushed conversations behind firmly-locked doors, wondering who you are, and what "The Hunt" you seem to be on could be. It's gaming's best Lovecraftian horror - you'll be driven to discover its secrets as much as you are to master its vicious combat systems. 12. Devotion Developer: Red Candle GamesPlatform: PC Red Candle Games' first Devotion may now be best known for its troubled release history, but it's a masterclass in environmental storytelling. Its horror doesn't come from survival combat or even jump scares, but a feeling of creeping dread, mounting in time with you gathering more information about what happened to the inhabitants of the house you're exploring. Devotion does a lot of great stuff with visuals, and while it's not the most interesting game from an interactive perspective, it's a great example of how to use space in horror, on par with classics like Amnesia. 11. Resident Evil 4 (2023) Developer: CapcomPlatforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC Capcom's long line of remakes shows no sign of slowing down, and Resident Evil 4 Remake is one of the most impressive so far. Leon S Kennedy's visit to the plaga-infested Spanish village has been haunting players since 2004, and the 2023 version packs just as heavy of an action-packed, horror-drenched punch. It's a faithful reconstruction of the best elements of its predecessor while making meaningful improvements here and there, tightening up the gunplay experience for a more modern run-and-gun feel and broadening the cache to give the mysterious cockney-twanged Merchant's stock a little flourish. Top it off with the iconic chainsaw sisters, Dr Salvador, and grisly heads popping to reveal tentacled creatures bursting to escape their flesh prisons, and Leon has a lot of baddies to suplex in RE4R - without a doubt one of the best horror games and one of the best action games of recent years. 10. Amnesia: Rebirth Developer: Frictional GamesPlatforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X Building on the themes of memory loss, pursuing monsters, and otherworldly magic, Amnesia: Rebirth builds on the previous games in the series to deliver a tense, playable slice of horror fiction. There's almost a literary feel to the game as you explore the darkness as Tasi, a French explorer lost in the desert. Familiar mechanics like failing sanity, eroded by the dark or looking at monsters, returns but this time contained within a much more coherent and enticing story. There are some great puzzles, horrible monsters but it's that narrative that binds it all together. Tasi goes on a journey and there's a strong draw to following her to see where it all goes and what it means. Whether you're a fan of the Amnesia franchise or not there's a real page-turning, 'must-see what happens' feel to the adventure. The monster encounters can be horrific and stressful but it's the space between where the story expands, and twists and turns that really sells it. 9. Dead Space (2023) Developer: Motive StudioPlatforms: Xbox Series X, PS5, PC 2023's Dead Space is a stunning remake of a modern survival horror classic. The Ishimura is even creepier than you'll remember it being in 2008 as you step back into the space boots of Isaac Clarke. Embarking on a mission with his crew to investigate the strange goings on in a seemingly abandoned spaceship, things quickly go south in this monster-ridden deep space maze. Constantly pursued by horrific creatures known as necromorphs, the Dead Space remake has been praised for its stellar visuals, sound design, and its notorious permadeath Impossible Mode. Even if you've never played the original, Dead Space is definitely the best horror games in recent years and well worth your time; just don't aim for the head. 8. SOMA Developer: Frictional GamesPlatforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC SOMA has problems, largely from the clumsy stealth section, but it also has, hands down, one of the most unpleasantly disturbing stories of anything in this list. To explain why would ruin it, but this plays with ideas of consciousness and what makes you 'you' in a terrifying way. When you're not exploring the rusting, decrepit undersea base of PATHOS II, you're playing with some pretty heavy metaphysic concepts fit to give you nightmares. This is a world, filled with broken machines full of glitching human consciousnesses and slimy growths, that expands and morph into something terrible the longer you spend exploring. The undersea and biotech elements make a Bioshock comparison hard to avoid but while there are similarities - man's hubris and science pushed too far, especially - this is far more unpleasant and ethically shocking. The new 'safe mode' means you can also now play it just for the story - finish it and see if you can sleep after. 7. Outlast Developer: Red BarrelsPlatforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch Outlast offers a first-person trek through a setting literally no one in real life would willingly check out - an old asylum that seems abandoned, but also strangely very active. At night. In the mountains. Miles from help. Who does that?! The setup alone is perfect horror fodder, but this plays out like Found Footage: The Game, via clever use of a videocamera's night vision mode to see in the dark. The grainy, glowing green view it creates gets a little too close to real life as well. It's one part exploring to two parts follow shadowy, wheezing shapes in the black distance through a viewfinder while cowering behind a table. Scary enough already, the perfection of its pixilated whirring focus pulls only adds to the atmosphere. If sharing the terror with friends is what you're after, check out our Outlast Trials review to see if Red Barrels' online multiplayer gore-fest feels as good (or as horrible) in co op as it does going solo. Hint: yes. 6. Silent Hill 2 Remake Developer: Bloober TeamPlatforms: PS5, PC Silent Hill, as a franchise, is home to some of the most frightening enemies and situations in gaming history, but the series' most abiding horror has seen a stunning remake in Bloober Team and Konami's Silent Hill 2. If the PS2 classic manifested our deepest fears as flesh, the 2024 remake sees those fears reborn in stunning 4k graphics to really drive the psychological horrors home. Though he'll encounter creatures like the iconic nurses and Pyramid Head, protagonist James Sunderland is far more threatened by his personal demons. And the empty town of Silent Hill brings them all to the surface. James has returned to Silent Hill answering a letter that seems to come from his dead wife, but all he finds are reminders of his own anguish and guilt over her death. Every corner of the town is inhabited by some new horror, but James has to push past his fears if he ever wants to know what's going on. You and he will not like what he finds beyond them. Silent Hill 2 doesn't just present you with a horror game worth playing, but a story worth being listened to, parsed, and gawping awfully about. The deeper you go, the worse it gets. 5. Alan Wake 2 Developer: Remedy EntertainmentPlatform(s): PS5, PC, Xbox Series X We waited 13 long years for Alan Wake 2, and the tormented novelist's return did not disappoint. Like we said in our review, "You won't find anything else quite like it this generation." It has everything you could possibly want as a horror fan: terrifying foes, atmospheric dread, slick third-person action, and a gnarled storyline split between its two protagonists that, as in the shared universe of 2019's Control, straddles temporal boundaries and constantly keeps us guessing. It's a psycho-thriller like no other, proving not only developer Remedy's growth as a studio over the last decade or so, but why it remains top of the class when it comes to creating some of the best horror games out there. 4. Resident Evil 2 Remake Developer: CapcomPlatforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, Nintendo Switch It seems almost unimaginable that over 20 years after its original PS1 release the classic Resident Evil 2 is back on the best horror games list. But then we are talking about Resident Evil 2 Remake, a from-the-ground-up remake of the original game that honors the past while building a future for the franchise with a game nearly two decades old. It's a success, and high on this list, because of how it melds old and new so perfectly. It's a perfect retelling of Leon and Claire's original attempts to escape a zombie-filled Raccoon City, with all the monsters, set pieces and story beats you remember. BUT. It's also built with today's horror sensibilities - merging an almost beautiful level of indulgent gore with tight gunplay, clever puzzles, and some beautiful levels. This is as essential now as the original game was back in the day. 3. Alien: Isolation Developer: Creative AssemblyPlatforms: Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS4, and PC Countless games have been inspired by elements of the Alien franchise, be it James Cameron's space marines, Ellen Ripley's fortitude, or the chilling power of silence in a soundtrack. Despite all that, Alien: Isolation may be the series' greatest gaming triumph. It takes the gut-wrenching fear fostered by the lone Xenomorph in the original film and extends it into a lengthy game. Isolation's tense survival gameplay keeps the pulse-pounding for hours and hours You take on the role of Ripley's daughter, Amanda, searching a derelict space station for her mother, only to find the same beast she fought. You're constantly on guard from the cinematic AI of your Alien hunter. This means holding your breath as you narrowly avoid detection, or screaming in terror after failing to reach safety. The atmosphere the game sustains is impressive enough, and it deserves even more credit for taking the Xenomorph, a movie monster bordering on cliché due to overexposure, and making it terrifying once again. 2. Layers of Fear Developer: Bloober TeamPlatforms: PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC Most games can make you jump, they can make scream, but few can make you doubt yourself in real life. Layers of Fear initially appears very familiar as you explore a spooky, creepy, and cavernously empty house. The Gothic story unravels slowly as you play an unnamed artist returning home. It soon becomes clear though that madness has overtaken the painter and it expresses itself in the unreliable narration of the physical world. Doors disappear and corridors warp out of shape just in the corner of you; the game rearranges itself in such a way to recreate the main character's madness that only a few hours in and you'll find yourself questioning everything. Was that desk on that side of the room last time you looked? Are you sure? Add to that the nature of the protagonist's illness - an obsessional painting made from... less than savory materials, and you have one of the greatest horror games of all time. 1. Resident Evil 7 Developer: CapcomPlatforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC It could have been a disaster - a clunky, forced update to a revered series, that left fans clamoring for the bombastic nonsense of Resident Evil 6. But Resident Evil 7 is a triumph, smartly feeding off the best horror movies of the last 20 years, effortlessly easing all that edgy new into a recognizable, modern reinvention of the series. The central story is fantastic, the mysteries artfully concealed and your tormentors, the Bakers, are brilliantly subversive. Switching the action to first-person adds some VR possibilities, but also makes the horror feel uncomfortably close - grueling, compelling stuff, in a setting you'll remember long after exploring it up close. But perhaps the cleverest trick is just how Resi it all feels. The safe rooms have the same sense of unsettling respite; ammo feels desperately scarce; and the boss fights have the right mix of terror and glowing, oozing bits to shoot. It's a tight, smart horror game, and far better than most fans dared hope. It's not the scariest – or most subtle – game on this list, but a brilliant and chilling rebirth.

Hellraiser is being turned into a survival horror game

The developers at Boss Team Games have such sights to show you: the studio just announced that it's taking the terrifying world of the classic Hellraiser films and turning it into a survival horror game. The new title is called Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, and somehow it's the first gaming adaptation of the franchise, which has been around since 1987. According to the studio, the game will blend 'survival horror with a single-player, story-driven action experience.' And, yes, there will be a dark and mysterious puzzle box. There are also some notable names on board. Doug Bradley, the original actor for Hellraiser's iconic villain Pinhead, will be reprising the role, and series creator Clive Barker is assisting with the game's story. In a statement, Barker said that 'I'm eager for both the curious and the damned to experience this new chapter in the Hellraiser mythos, where every moment balances on the brink of nightmare and revelation.' While this will be the first Hellraiser game, it's part of a growing trend of classic horror franchises being adapted for the medium. The likes of Friday the 13th and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre were turned into asymmetrical multiplayer games, as was The Evil Dead, which was developed by Boss Team. Single-player survival horror seems like a better fit for Hellraiser, however, though it's unclear yet when it might be available. Right now it's listed as simply 'in development.' It'll be available on the PC, PS5, and Xbox whenever it does launch.

Polish Studio Behind ‘Silent Hill' Remake Plans Original Games

Few expected a small Polish studio like Bloober Team SA to do justice to Silent Hill 2 with their remake of the survival horror classic. Yet the game turned out to be one of last year's biggest hits, selling two million copies in just four months while winning award nominations and critical acclaim. The game has been a windfall for the 17-year-old outfit and its founder Piotr Babieno after starting out making low-effort games for quick cash. Shares of Bloober have surged more than 13% since Silent Hill 2' s release, and last year earnings grew sevenfold to about $6 million. Fresh off that success, the studio is returning to the franchise with another Konami Group Corp. collaboration — a remake of the series' 1999 debut title, which is already in production

Capcom's 'Resident Evil Requiem' To Revisit Umbrella Corporation & Raccoon City

Capcom's upcoming ninth instalment in its survival horror franchise, Resident Evil Requiem , is set to take the series back to its roots, returning to its original 'overarching narrative' surrounding the Umbrella Corporation and Raccoon City after its two predecessors brought the series elsewhere. This comes from an interview with game producer Masato Kumazawa published on the PlayStation Blog, where he answered various questions surrounding the highly anticipated sequel. According to Kumazawa, the team decided to return to the franchise's iconic setting to commemorate its 30th anniversary, as the title will release three decades on from the original Resident Evil's March 1996 launch. 'In recent mainline titles like Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village , the series has explored the broader world of the Resident Evil universe by focusing on incidents involving the Winters family.' Kumazawa explains, 'With Resident Evil Requiem , however, we wanted to return to a story that continues the overarching narrative rooted in Raccoon City and the secret machinations of the Umbrella Corporation. As the series celebrates its 30th anniversary, we believe Raccoon City is the most fitting setting.' To coincide with the return to Raccon City, the team also wanted to introduce a new character with direct ties to the unfortunate events that occurred there, hence its protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, who was one of the lead characters in the 2003 spin-off Resident Evil Outbreak , which featured episodic storylines of eight individuals as they venture through a zombie-inhabited Raccoon City. 'When creating a story set in the ruins of Raccoon City, we felt it was fitting to have a character with a personal connection to the city itself. In this title, which aims to focus on horror, we introduce Grace as a new, relatable protagonist, who is unlike previous protagonists Leon or Chris.' Kumazawa added. 'By making Grace someone who reflects the player's own vulnerability, we believe players will enjoy a gameplay experience filled with tension and immersion. Grace is a character with a low tolerance for fear, but she grows throughout the story and eventually begins to confront various horrors with courage.' It seems the upcoming title has bold plans to take the series back to where it all began, not only from a story perspective, but from a gameplay one too, as Capcom had also stated how the team experimented with plans to make the game open-world with online elements before changing course, shown in a developer diary video featuring a now-cancelled early version of the title. Series fans will surely appreciate that the team has chosen to stick to what works instead of following industry trends, which, as history has proven, usually leads to disaster. Whether the final game would be more linear, like Resident Evil 2 , or more of an open-zone format like Resident Evil Village remains to be seen as Resident Evil Requiem approaches its release on 27 February 2026 for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying. Capcom Resident Evil Resident Evil Requiem
