Me: I don't like horror games that revolve around hiding from monsters.
Every 2nd commenter: Why isn't Alien: Isolation on here?!?!?
🙃
But then you have games like SOMA, Clock Tower, and the Resident Evil games which often involve avoiding creatures that are much more powerful than you. Obviously it's nobody's business but yours what kind of games you play and enjoy, but I don't think the disconnect is that hard to understand.
Yhis time of the year I plug in my Turbo Grafx 16 and play SPLATTERHOUSE. Memories of being scared as a kid.
Must be that giant "take a hint" sign, and give Alien Isolation a chance. For the first 2 hours I found the game slow and boring, but atmosphere was great so i stuck with it. And then it got me to replay again it on hardest difficulty + DLCs, something that after 30+ years of gaming rarely happens with me. Maybe it would be like Castlevania SOTN magic.
Alien isolation isn’t even the scariest aliens game tho. I’ll never forget the day I loaded up Alien colonial marines. That was the day I lost all hope in the existence of a god and my trust in humanity was forever tarnished.
I mean, it's not just Alien: Isolation... What is with Amnesia and Outlast? How can you even make a horror list without these two?
This is exactly the type of video I have looking for to get me in the spooky season mood, thanks Pam. Time to close the curtains, turn off the lights and get those headphones on for that true horror feeling.
Enjoy!
@@Cannotbetamed1 I have been on the fence about picking up Fatal Frame 2. Your S ranking has given me the final push I need.
I watch a lot of different review channels. Your voice and delivery are very easy to listen to, and there is a lot of great information.
Great job. I hope you keep them coming.
Thank you
damn pam
you've played a lotta horror games
I play too many video games.
I just want to share my earliest scary memory of a game is doom as cliche as that sounds, but I was sitting there wondering what this graphic was and suddenly I realised it was an imps fireball and it was too late. Still a big memory to this day in my 40s
DOOM forever!
Makes sense, the pinkie grunts used to un-nerve me so much unless I could see them, but when it echoes through the halls you best believe I got tense
System Shock 2.
Chainsaw thru flesh sound ,anyone?
If you think that the original Doom games are creepy, then you've probably never played Doom 3.
Un. Nerving.
If Pam was unwilling to add Alien Isolation to her list, then that means D3 is in the same realm of nope.
Love these videos :) I listen to them like a super relaxing and interesting podcast. Please keep being awesome, Pam!
Dead Space and Silent Hill. Sound design does a lot of work in both of those games, and the immersion is deeper because of it.
Sound can make all the difference, especially in horror.
Dead Space 1 sound production is amazing and so so instinctive
I was so pumped for PARASITE EVE in 1998, Still remember picking it up on release day. I got a PSone for Christmas the year before for Final Fantasy 7, and Resident Evil was the 2nd game I picked up and it blew my mind. When I saw Square Soft was doing a game rooted in survival horror, I was over the moon. That opening cutscene with tears on the face of a frowning Statue of Liberty still gives me all the feels.
Great timing catching this right when it got posted - I was in the mood for a longer video, so this was perfect - thank you!
Hope you enjoyed it
@@Cannotbetamed1 Always do! Your vids never fail to cheer me up 😀
I really appreciate the way Soma implemented the "safe" mode, because I would have never experienced it without that. Both because I'm a coward and because I too hate the gameplay loop of constantly hiding from unbeatable monsters. It allowed me to focus on the incredible story and atmosphere and ended up being one of my favorite games for it. Loved the video, I'm excited to give The Cat Lady a try this coming spooky season!
That safe mode was such a brilliant idea.
Thank the modding community. A year before they added safe mode, there was the Wuss Mod. Developers were able to see the concept in action, and smooth out the rough patches for the official version. I fully support this practice, because console players lack access to mods. It's a great way to enrich their gaming experience.
Holy mother of all reviews! This was a huge undertaking and you are a champ with all of this. I played lots of the games on the list and you nailed them. Thank you for all the work you put into this. Game ON! LOL
Glad you enjoyed it!
You opinions on games are amongst those I appreciate the most. Even with games on which my opinion differs, I get a fresh perspective on them, which offers a chance to look back at them. I really enjoy your videos, and a guilty pleasure of mine is how much I am entertained by your clips of the hate mail. Sorry but you do those so well!
When I was a kid: Alone in the Dark from 1992. F.E.A.R. also comes to mind and the best horror game I've played "recently": Alien Isolation!
Eternal Darkness on Cube and Fragile Dreams on Wii are absolute musts.
Thank you so much for ranking them Pam! 👻
The first hour or so of Resident Evil 7 in VR is the scariest experience I've had with any game. It gets a bit less scary once you start to get a handle on things and find some save rooms, but the tension never completely lets up either.
Silent Hill 1 is also ridiculously scary despite the more primitive graphics.
Doom 3 in VR (on PSVR) is so much more effective than the original version. The pacing, level design, monster closets, jump scares, etc. all work so much better in VR. Even on Easy difficulty I found it incredibly effective and creepy throughout.
Those are probably my top 3.
RE7 in VR seems a little too intense for me.
Half life 1 , in the resonance cascade section made me cry, when I was a kid.
Not really a horror fan , but I can't help but feel apreciation when a fellow gamer talks pationately and with detail about their favorite and also not so favorite video games. I really enjoyed the video , thanks!
Great video, loved the variety and breakdown
Thanks!
I remember the first game to scare the shxt out of me was : The 7th guest on PC MS DOS.
It was one of the first Cd Rom games I got and the atmosphere was so spooky. It's a first person inquiry game in a manor where strange things occured. You have to solve some creepy puzzle games to get your way. As i type these words, I still have goosebumps just by thinking about this evil game. the low res FMV ghosts appearances blended in nice 3D backgrounds and the eerie soundtrack was quite amazing. You really have to check out this one !
I've played this! I liked the puzzles, didn't really consider it horror though.
I was about 8 and the uncanny valley of it and alienness of it made me a bit creeped for sure
Man what a fantastic list. Loved listening to these opinions and it's so nice to have some candid ones vs. ones that feel like they've been overproduced
Thanks!
Always look forward to your ranking videos and finding new items for my bucket list. The first PC game that I remember scaring me was Clive Barkers “Undying”. I also remember thinking parts of Earthbound for SNES were very eerie and made me feel unsettled as a kid.
Loved Undying!
Great rankings, Pam!! SO glad you shouted out the Ocean View Hotel level in VTMB (not that I was surprised cause yeah
Dying Light was a jumping game that had the jump button assigned to a bumper instead of one of the face buttons with no options to change that. Also, the online events were on by default, and it turns back on every time you power off the game, AND the game skips the main menu, just loading your last save instantly when you power it on, but you could only turn off the online events from the main menu, so you have to start the game, wait for it to load, which takes a minute, pause, quit to menu, find the option in the menus to turn off online events, then finally start playing, every single time. When I first started playing there was an online event going on that made a bunch of the fast scary zombies spawn during the day, and I could kill maybe a couple before all my weapons broke cause I literally just started the game, and all I could do was run away. I had to resort to looking up why I was so bad at the game before I found out it was because of an online event. Hot doo doo garabagé
Great reviews and selection👏! There's really an impressive number of quality horror video games‼️
Another great video! Like these summary tier lists you make as well as your other reviews. Always find some hidden gems that I've not tried before on them. Perfect to pick out a top tier game or two for spooktober.
Glad you enjoyed!
Horror, in my opinion, has the best atmospheres in any genre of any medium. Some of my personal favorite horror games that didn’t make your list would definitely include Resident Evil 2 Remake, Alien: Isolation, Dead Space 2, Tormented Souls, The Evil Within 2, and Half Life: Alyx. My honorable mention is the usually criminally underrated The Order 1886. For me, the atmosphere in some parts of the game, especially the underground subway sequence, are very well done even if the overall game isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Keep up the great work on the videos. Hope you have a great month of spooky games to play 🎮🧟♂️👻🎃🧛🏻
This is a good video for finding more horror games. Thanks for the effort you put into it!
Outside of Silent Hill, the Ocean View Hotel in VTMB is one of my absolute favorite horror experiences in a game. I was genuinely scared in that level, and very, very few games have ever achieved that haha. All around, great list!
Thanks!
What’s up Pam, I always enjoy your reviews! Keep it up 👍!
Thanks!
Great video as always Pam. :-D I always found Koudelka (PS1) an interesting blend of horror and turn-based rpg. The grid system makes it even more unusual. Also Hellnight (PS1) is a horror game seemingly forgotten by nearly everyone which you might enjoy. So many great games out there!
If you can track down an old adventure game called The Dark Eye, it's one of the scariest things I've ever seen. Another one that I would definitely have on my list is Alien: Isolation.
Loved the video! I'll have to check some of these out, though I'm pretty skittish. Although, I'm glad that Silent Hill was also too unnerving for you, at least I'm not alone there.
This is spooky, great list. I need to go back and try some of these.
Another great ranking video Pam! I am not a big fan of horror games, but one that stuck with me over the years is the original Alone In The Dark. The atmosphere was very spooky, it introduced the tank controls way before Resident Evil and getting eaten by that creature behind the door made me jumped out of my chair...
S rank for soundtrack and host for the video. The Cat Lady had the most amazing sound design. Surprised that I didn’t see either of the siren games from the PS2 era that had that weird second person sight jacking mechanic. They definitely had a very unsettling atmosphere. Haunting ground, the spiritual successor to clock tower, with a late PS2 Capcom horror title that also serves mansion. The dog companion AI was expertly implemented for the time and it would make an incredible remake with modern technology.
Great video, Pam. It was interesting to see where you ranked some of those games.
For me the scariest games in my top 5 are System Shock 2, Stalker series, Clive Barkers Undying, Resident evil and Dead Space.
System Shock 2 is old but it was much scarier than Bioshock and the games like Prey. Those games exist because of system shock 1&2.
Second Clive Barker's Undying. Also the Amnesia series. I still can't play those alone.
Awesome video, Nothing has freaked me out more than the 1st resident evil. Being 13 years old playing through the mansion and seeing the zombie for the 1st time. I think I was de sensitised after that :)
This was a particularly fun video to watch. Enjoyed your ranking with brief summaries to explain why each game has the ranking it gets. I'd be curious to see you include Alien: Isolation. It is another run & hide kind of game, which I know isn't a play mechanic that you enjoy (not really my favorite either), but it does have some crafting mechanics so you can build things to distract the alien, great atmosphere, and I feel like it's one of the better examples I've seen of a game using one main creature hunting you throughout the whole game.
My tastes are pretty much 100% identical to yours... Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly being my favorite. Thank you for summing up this so well!
Thanks for this overview, I've been curious about a lot of these games and your commentary has given me a better idea of what it will be like to play them. I've been eager to check out the Fatal Frame games and it's nice to know that they're worth playing. My favorite horror game is System Shock 2, there is something about being stuck on a spaceship with mutating crew members being overtaken by an alien parasite and having an AI with ulterior motives as your only help that has stuck with me over the years.
So glod you're doing this. I love horror games and you dont have much content about that genre.
Great list. Would absolutely love to see you give Death Mark and sequel Spirit Hunter NG a go. They were such great surprises for me and fast favorites. Think they might be right up your alley.
Great video once again Pam! Gotta brave that Silent hill 1 though! Face that fear!
One day!
Great list, I agree on many of your takes. I also agree that a lot of the 'jumpscare/boohauntedhouse simulators of late are just super tiring.
Thank you for making the ranking video, I've been looking for some horror point and clickers but not too scary.
Glad I could help!
Resident Evil 4!!!! Your honest comment on Silent Hill is the best XD. Glad to see your video after surgery pAm. Thanks for sharing.
Hair, sweater, and makeup are all on point again!
Thanks!
Red Candle, the developer who made Detention, made another game called Devotion. It's got a first person POV, so pretty different gameplay, but it has the same disturbing quality, and takes a much heavier emotional toll. If you wanted more of that stick with you horror, more of a lurking dread than anything close to jump scares, it's pretty fantastic.
I'm so glad someone mentioned Devotion, it's a great game. Genuinely confused as to why Red Candle haven't been hit up to do a Silent Hill game after how great Detention and Devotion were.
I just bought that this month. Maybe I'll play it on stream.
That would be very cool. It'd be interesting to see you stream something so heavy.
I very much so respect your take on the ranking of horror games, just like with metroidvanias! Great takes as always, great vid as always! Can't wait until we see spoooooky dark souls 3!
A person's fears can be quite enlightening as to who they are. Thank you for sharing yours with us. It's encouraging to know there are things that really scare you too. But radio with scary noises? Surprising. 😄 I think calling Metro a horror game is pushing it though. To me a key element of horror is a sense of helplessness, whether it applies to myself, to someone I am watching, or an implied victim long gone. Metro has a bit of the third kind, but Artyom is so strong in the games that I was never scared. Combine helplessness with the unknown, that is the ultimate scare for me. Take away the helplessness, and we are left with a delightful treat.
Part of me wishes you left out some of the less discussed games to have more time for the ones that left a stronger impression on you, good or bad. Another part is glad you didn't because I might not have known to give some of these games a second look. There is just no pleasing some people. Sorry. I don't know where I was going with this.
Such a spooky ranking! I hope putting VtM Bloodlines on the lists becomes a trend going forward. Best games for kids? Vampire. Best games where you play as a dog? Vampire. Anyway, thanks for another great video!
Love the ranking videos and thank you for being honest. I'm glad I'm not the only one underwhelmed by DDLC.
Time to binge watch this for Halloween, thanks!
Hope you consider doing a part 2 in the future, there are tons of obscure horror games for the 32 and 128 bit era, and some early horror games for PC as well.
"almost done" epic list, sat through the whole thing!
i love this kind of video, i put many games in my wishlist.
Pam, i'd recommend you the games from Puppet Combo on Steam ( Specially the new one Night at thr Gates of Hell ).
Night at the Gates of Hell is amazing!
It feels wrong that the pastiche overdone clone-of-PT layers of fear is on the same tear as detention, last door and a couple resident evil games... I recommend also the video about Bloober team by Bobvids to get a couple reasons behind the medium being so bad despite the big budget.
But extremely agree with Stories Untold and Anatomy! I hope more people play them after watching your video :)
yaaaay! discovered this channel just now!
Welcome to the channel
If you play a lot more horror games will you do a new ranking video or will you just put them in a new ranking video. Great video as always Pam.
The first Evil Within game is such a special game for me! I know it has problems, I get why people don't like it, but it has stuck with me ever since I played back in 2014. The Evil Within 2 is also pretty great and worth a play through! Great video :)
Yeah I've had the two sitting in my Xbox collection for a while now. Backlogs way too big unfortunately! :p
I've had th second for a while, just haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
Very cool your video, it's always good to know more... I love horror games! fatal frame and dead space are my favorites for sure. Do you know forbbiden siren? I would like to see remakes and new games from this series. thanks for this ranking
I've never heard of that
That was a fun video, Pam.
Great Ranking Pam! I never played Dead Space but I will for sure play the remake on PS5 ! about Dying Light it was really scary to me, I never finished Silent Hill because it was too much tension.
Thank you Pam, well done and insightful. NES Friday the 13th got me everytime when Jason showed up, as a kid this was awesome and I would give it a "B" based on your criteria because LJN.
I'm going to have to try out Friday the 13th soon. So many people have mentioned it.
Excellent list. I'm so happy that someone besides me played Anatomy!
I have two recommendations for you:
Nightmare of Decay ($5 on Steam) - fps RE1-like
Stigmatized Property ($3 on Steam/Itch) - scared the f--- out of me. Almost gave me a heart attack.
This was such a fun watch! I’ve embarrassingly only played two games on this list lol - but, I love them both: ‘PT’ and ‘Oxenfree’. A recommendation is the funny, mysterious, and I’d say kinda-spooky game that is also my favorite point-and-click: ‘The Dagger of Amon Ra’. Pushing-Up-Roses has a great review and also a very fun Let’s Play of it. Adding ‘Soma’, ‘Stasis’, ‘Parasite Eve’, and ‘The Cat Lady’ to the to-play list! :)
The name of her review is “Sierra’s Lost Gem - The Dagger of Amon Ra” - if you haven’t already seen it, it’s absolutely worth a watch, and her channel is awesome
Oh my god how could I forget: ‘Cosmology of Kyoto’ … I think my mind suppressed it lol. It’s an AMAZING horror game experience.
Man , you are a tough critic lol. I love your list regardless. Keep em coming.
Awesome ranking! =D
Thanks!
Man the music starting around 44:00 is so good. I'm going to have to replay The Cat Lady because I definitely don't remember any of these songs.
I remember making it to Doom Land in Mario 3 in my grandparents darkened living room around midnight and feeling scared. I was only nine years old at the time.
I found Doom unsettling as a teen, even with a full arsenal.
Going back to Mario, the Bowser fight in World left me in suspense when he flew into the screen
I’m playing through The Evil Within at the moment. Highly recommended if you like RE4!
Yeah, it's a good game.
Lol @ "I'd like to have an existential crisis today!"
24:20 I don't think I've ever heard the term 'rain cloak' before. Neat.
Excellent video and I'm highly agreeing with the rankings.
If you do want to try a truly scary game, give visage a shot.
Also, in Silent Hill, you can turn the radio off in the pause menu👍
Amazing video, you're the dopest!
My favorite is Friday the 13th for NES . It took years .....and a youtube video ....to finally beat this game. Its a masterpiece once you learn the basics . The scare is no matter when You see Jason .....You will jump !!! The fun is realizing that you can win . It took me forever to get past day 1 .....day 2 is tougher. ...and day 3 you fight jason outside because inside a cabin you got zero chance !!!!
I miss the Chzo games by Yathzee, starting with 5 Days a Stranger. Another one that has already been mentioned is System Shock 2. Have you ever played Elvira: Mistress of the Dark? Especially the Amiga version is really good. The monster designs can be very disturbing and the combat feels scary.
Nice work
You had me at Alan Wake. I thought Dead Space was one of the best horror games too. The atmosphere and sound design are better than pretty much any other game I can think of. I can't wait for the remake next January. I also just played (and wet my pants) through Rush of Blood. You aren't kidding when you say VR adds a whole other level of scary in a horror game. I couldn't believe it. It was for sure a rail shooter, but was a terrifying blast. Great List Pam!
Can’t wait to watch your list!
Quick question: would sonic 06 count as a horror game? XD
bro fatal frame series is just pure ghost and spirit its actually scary
I think my first real horror game was “D” for the Saturn. It blew me away at the time. I love that you cover horror games of all years and not just recent games.
The Cat Lady has some of the best representations of how depression actually feels that I’ve ever seen in fiction or otherwise. Also, I can’t help but feel like All Flowers in Time Bend Toward the Sun is part of its soundtrack, even though it’s not. I’ll never not associate the two things together.
Dark Corners of the Earth clutched at the mantle of Greatest Horror Game of All Time and then dropped it. I wish I could say it’s one of those games made more beautiful by its flaws, but it’s not. Still love it for what it almost accomplished, though.
Nice ranking. I think the first game to truly scare me was Amnesia The Dark Decent. Before that I got some lite scares with the likes of Resident Evil and Silent Hill (which I love but more as action/puzzle games) but Amnesia was the first game that made me feel scared to the point I had to take breaks. Nowadays I find it hard to be truly scared in a video game, until I played Outer Wilds. Without being a horror game, it just gave me such a feeling of dread and like existential and cosmic horror that I have never experienced. I feel like horror games as a whole are not truly scary, they're just filled with dark and spooky imagery and then jump scare you. A truly horror experience for me at my age now, is one that delves into deeper and existential territory, nothing that has to do with demons, ghosts, zombies, etc.
Interesting point you make there, danigar: It's the fear of the unknown that gets under your skin and has a maintained tension that does not let up. For some reason, a non-horror carries that tension as well, Kairo does that for me. I don't know why.
@@LarixusSnydes Exactly it's the fear of the unknown that has that effect, and if you combine it with space then that's a scary combo for me. I feel like a non-horror can convey this feeling better because you don't expect it, whereas a regular horror game just tries to scare you and spook you as much as it can so I kinda become desensitized after a while.
Friday the 13th for the NES. When you play that with the lights off... it scared me as a kid.
Awesome list! there's a lot for me to play here, and I love it! I think the only one (of the ones I have played) that I disagree with is doki doki, but maybe because I played with a girlfriend at the time, and playing any game with someone is always fun. More because we read it out loud, we did voices, comments, and stuff, and that adds a lot to it.
And the games that I think you should play are:
1. Outlast - the first one only, the second one I didn't like it
2. I'm on observation duty - not really super scary but I think it's really fun and interesting, and also way better with friends.
3. The Mortuary Assistant - this one I didn't play it, but I've seen a lot of lets plays and it looks really good (if I only had a better PC :') haha)
Resident Evil remake on the game cube will always be my favourite :)
How about Death Stranding? I understand it’s not the main focus to be scary but it’s so freaking tense when you go into BT territory, especially if you are not geared up properly. I sunk more than 500 hours in that game and still to this day I find myself working around BT infested areas. LOL.
Nah, maybe initially but they become more of a nuisance than anything. I'm playing it at the moment, and once you get the cutting tool BTs are basically no problem at all. Even before then, unless you're playing on Very Hard it's usually better to let them take you and then either fight or run from the big BT, either way it clears all BTs and rain from the area. Also, you can pee on the tar people to despawn them which is hilarious.
@@Ashley6100 Well, it depends how you approach the game I guess. I really don’t want to argue about that.
As for difficulty, I play at hard level, not very hard. But despite having been a gamer for more than 35 years I’m pretty bad at it apparently, as on the Internet everyone is better than me!
My daughter is also better than me to be fair, but she started playing videogames when she was 3. LOL. I guess that’s the secret. Everyone is younger than me on the Internet!
All of that said. I truly believe everyone should give Death Stranding a try. You might hate it, but if you don’t, chances are you are going to Love it.
amazing list!! you should check out Clive Barker's Undying and Jericho! awesome an terrorific games!
Fatal Frame has bothered me because they call a camera a "camera obscura" which is a different thing entirely. A camera obscura was used in the renaissance to aid in painting and drawing. No film is involved; it's basically just a lens on a box that projects an image on a frosted glass plate so it can be traced by the artist. Sure, it's a cool sounding term...But it's not a camera by our definition.
I really liked how you ranked your horror games, cool list :v
If you thought p.t. Was something….
You gotta play visage
That game gets so overlooked. Got really good reviews for it as well. Just….no one talks about it.
Definitely the scariest game I’ve ever played. Almost on all counsels. :v
Hope you keep making awesome content list videos and stuff
Visage does look very scary. I installed it and only played it for 2 minutes before shutting it off.
@@Cannotbetamed1 nice lol I lasted like 5 minutes XD
Sanitarium was the game I was trying to recall the other day. I agree that after the halfway point the story meanders a bit. Silent Hill 2 and Clive Barkers Undying are still excellent horror games for me. I'll never forgive myself for accidentally deleting PT from my ps4. Good tier rankings 👏
Clive Barkers Undying is a masterpiece. Scary and a great game to play. Its of one of those games i want to reinstall and play when i see it mentioned in comments.
Stuck, jammed, won't budge lol.
Great list! I’m wondering if Bloodborne fits the criteria to be on this list
Great vid, Pam. Have you ever played Sweet Home? I think you can play a rom of it or get it on repro cart translated. It was the proto resident evil that Capcom did for famicom and plays like a classic nes final fantasy but with character swapping in a haunted mansion. It's an interesting game.
Nope, never played Sweet Home.
@@Cannotbetamed1 it's well worth the play if you can get hold of a copy of it. It can be a bit old, janky and esoteric but it's pretty fun.
I've been playing horror games since Resident Evil first released on the PS1, and have loved the genre ever since. Was very pleased to see Parasite Eve here, as it's a favorite of mine, but seems to be mostly forgotten.
I'd recommend playing the remaster of Resident Evil 2, with modern controls, and Resident Evil Revelations, both of which I prefer to Resident Evil 4.
I've not played Alien: Isolation, as I too dislike games which just revolve around hiding.
Have you played Fatal Frame - Maiden of Black Water? I noticed you ranked the 2nd game in the franchise highly.
I think The Last of Us could qualify as a horror game, especially the first one, and I enjoyed it, since it reminded me of the best Resident Evil games, and The Evil Within; which I think is a very good game - especially the moments when the landscape changes entirely and you have no clue what is happening!
I will also put my recommendation for Clive Barker's Undying out there. It is the first game I had to play with the lights on.
That's a lot of games! My favorite is Resident Evil 2, either the original or the remake, they're both great.
Great list! Alan Wake is a very special game for me. I more or less got a 360 for it and it’s the only game I double-dipped and picked up the Special/Collectors Edition of.
