That’s a shame, because the latest Amnesia game is perhaps the scariest I’ve played this year. The survival horror game launched quietly earlier this year, losing some of its spotlight to bigger games like Resident Evil 4. With how loaded 2023 has been, I couldn’t blame you if you missed Amnesia: The Bunker. While it isn’t full of jump scares, Dredge is a slow-burn psychological horror experience that’ll stick with you long after you play it. When it runs out, they’ll start seeing illusions in the ocean that are sure to put them on edge. Not only is the sea full of monsters and mutated fish, but players also have a sanity meter that they need to manage. Dredge is a Lovecraftian horror game that gets weirder the more you play. There’s something much creepier under the surface, though. At first glance, it looks like a normal fishing game where players pilot a boat and reel up some undersea creatures. If you’re squeamish, but still want to play something eerie this month, Dredge is the way to go. Pair that with some legitimately great jump scares and a dose of psychological torment and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect Halloween game. The Dead Space series offers some masterful body horror, making it one of the more unsettling mainstream horror series’ you can play. It’s downright disgusting - and that’s exactly why you should play it this month. While it’s much more of a 1:1 upgrade of the original, the remake ups the ante with a grotesque flesh system that let’s Isaac Clarke peel his necromorph foes like bananas. Dead Spacealso got the remake treatment earlier this year, and it’s just as much of a can’t-miss experience.

Resident Evil 4 alone would have made 2023 a banner year for horror games, but it isn’t the only great genre remake in town. Why do we love horror games? Psychologists explain our morbid curiosityĩ terrifying horror games you can play on Xbox Game Pass this Halloween
