What’s really scary to me is how many games are released unfinished these days
too real... you're giving me horror chills bro🥶
When those games don't bomb it just encourages more publishers to do the same.
@@j.j.9511 Ain't that the truth
so they can make a remaster of it a couple years later
AH dude you scared me with that
Anyone remember the horror game, Fear? That had a lot of really unique mechanics. And you had the same sensation of always wondering when the little girl would appear, because she would seemingly appear in areas where typically you would think your safe.
Yep, one of the best game series, I've ever played. First game is the best of the series. That little girl Alma gave me nightmares. XD
Great game
I STILL haven't finished the first one lol. That was actually the game the really got me into PC gaming though, I got the trilogy free somewhere (maybe Fanatical? Or whatever they were called before that) and I absolutely love it. IMO it still holds up extremely well
FEAR was amazing, well the third part not so much but the 1st and 2nd was amazing, espacially the two dlc packs for the first game, one of the scariest moments ever i loved it
F.E.A.R & Prototype were some of my favourite games.
Would love to see them and a few others remastered or added to for the new consoles
The Beneviento house from RE Village needs to be on here. I literally almost pissed myself when the giant fetus monster came crawling down the hallway at you. Hiding under the bed while you hear it start crying and yelling for you is so unsettling, it hits you in your core.
Definitely, I found that house to be the stand out section of the game after the castle ended up a bit of a flop.
It felt very traditional horror, and I liked that they took away your weapons and made it a big puzzle.
The build up really got me
For real how is it not on this list...
Still remember my first run-in with the Volatiles of Dying Light. Just as the mini cutscene was ending, my weaker-than-required laptop had a fit and nearly froze, with the screen flashing white a couple times, and it made that horrible grinding noise you sometimes get with a bsod. Suddenly the game came back, I heard the scream from the volatile and I just ran as fast as I could. I had no idea where I was going, just sprinting in full panic, but somehow made it back to safety in the end. Probably one of the most intense experiences I had in a Horror game; Both in and out-of-game.
Love this 😂
I can't play the first dying light because of those things. too stressful.
I had to try several times before I completed that mission. The game isn't scary till night falls and I would avoid night as much as possible because of how well done the devs made it with how intense it was. That mission was well done, but freaky.
@@valentinewilson3600
The game is pure adrenaline. I love toying with the Volatiles at night.
The only game I found to come close to that level of adrenaline and fun is when you start hitting your first hordes on Days Gone.
By far, Dying Light 1, even now, is so much fun and can get the heart pumping
I love how these games give you guns like they’re going to protect you lol
😅
Finding out if they actually protect you or not is part of the fun. For example alien isolation
.
@Zane Ya Enjoy this report, SS Cumload
That's still better than absolutely no gun/weapon at all 🤣.
I'm looking at you, Outlast
The Beneviento house from RE Village caught me off guard and was easily the most terrifying part in the game.
I'll never forget that moment where you slowly, carefully, inch your way forward in that long dark hallway.
It’s also the most pointless shit to replay on subsequent plays
Hope they never do that crap again
wasnt scary at all compared to amnesia
Can't believe they didn't feature that game. When i finished that mission and came out of the house, I was so relieved and told myself I'd never step back in that house again, even though the lady was dead at the end. I'd rather meet Miranda multiple times and fight for my life, than stepping into that house!
Don't forget the baby. That was beyond scary.
Thank you so much for putting Uncharted SOMEWHERE in this list. I remember playing this part and it was truly horrifying. The sounds of them all over the walls, running around, their footprints everywhere. Ugh😩, such a tense moment for me.
same. Not helped by the fact the first game is probably the most challenging of the series in its original release. They are kind of explained though, it's suggested they are the Spanish conquistadors infected from the virus that was see at the end.
When I saw that Uncharted was on the list I thought the spider levels from uncharted 3 would be mentioned. I don't have arachnophobia and this level still felt uncomfortable lol
Honestly it shocked me he put any of those games on the list, especially from the first game. It's not scary at all
I played the first Uncharted when I was a kid and had to have my brother with me for emotional support when I reached the Bunker 😅
I just remember wondering what the fuck was going on and thinking it was so out of place.
As far as scary parts in The Evil Within games, I would honestly put Anima from Evil Within 2 above Ruvik from the first title. Entering a random house only to trigger a floating monstrosity that sings out of tune while hunting you is still one of the most uncomfortable things I've experienced in gaming... Maybe ever lol
Yeah Anima spiced that game really up on the first play through definitely
I agree. She was scarier and unkillable and she would randomly appear in the open world areas of the game. I also loved the design of the creature called Lament, the one that spits poison and cries...
@@thunder7breakerGreat game man 👍
Yesss another gamer of culture who played both games. As someone who platinumed The evil within and only needs to do classic on the second that shit was great.
Absolutely. The mansion section in the first game was more annoying than scary. However, just thinking of the first time you see Anima in the second game still gives me goosebumps
Killer Croc is also more tense because it's built up. You see him at the start of the game where he vows to get you, and again mid game, so you know you're gonna have to face this huge monster eventyally. Then, towards the end of the game, you finally go into his lair and it's scary.
The RE7 tape puzzle was so well done, I was genuinely shocked
343 Guilty Spark from Halo got to me. Subsequent games that featured the flood sort of introduced them with a brief environment change and then you fight them but the first game decided to spend half a level creeping you out with the lack of enemies, unexplained bodies/blood/environment damage and evidence of infighting, and genuinely unsettling encounters with weakened enemies and panicky soldiers. As well as the music taking a twisted exotic turn and turning off entirely in parts.
Came here to say this. 1000% agree
Halo was super atmospheric. That section of the game in particular
Agreed. I remember that creeping me out as a kid, and even now when I get into it.
Especially the level where they introduced flood and the way they introduced it was damn scary...I remember running around trying to escape from them in the levels😂
The flood in the first were really scary
Thief’s asylum level was scary as hell too. The reboot did that one level very well.
I never beat it because of that level
I clicked on video expecting to it to be on the list, kinda a bummer because the level really gave me chills when I played it first time
@@erikturner3141 You and me both 🤣
@@erikturner3141 yeah, it wasnt ez to go through it but i did finish that game. That level took me by suprise.
I could only finish the level by bright daylight
Recently started playing Prey, I have to say being hunted by the Nightmare is pretty damn terrifying
Glad someone agrees
I had a hard time passing the alien invasion mission in "Majora's Mask" without someone else in the room with me. My hands would be clumsy, I'd miss my shots, waste a ton of arrows, and just seeing Romani traumatized the next day after failure made the pressure mount on any retries.
Took me so long to beat this as a kid because I would always slow time by habit to make the game less stressful not considering it made this quest twice as difficult!
@@shauns5278 I forgot about that mechanism in the game. Makes me think I might've done the same thing!
"They didn't really address it."
Come on, Falcon. Yes they did. They clearly explain not long afterwards that opening El Dorado (which, depending on the lore can be different things: a city, statue, etc. And is in this case the golden sarcophagus) releases a curse that turns everyone who opens it into those creatures. It even happens to the main bad guy before his second in command kills him and takes over as the main antagonist for the last mission.
The escape sequence with all the spiders in the third one is terrifying
What I think he meant was the weird jokey atmosphere of later installments and even at the end of the first one where everyone is super cheerful and lighthearted and NOT AT ALL traumatized by the fact that they were trapped with zombies in a bunker...
I always thought that the curse turnt them into wendigo if I’m honest. 😂
@Kam Gill Wendigo were never used in an Uncharted game I don't think, but that was the premise of Until Dawn.
I just recently beat the first two metro games, honestly in the first game there was the spider level, the mutant “gorillas”. Having to always keep a light on those spiders is terrifying. I played on the hard mode and I had to pay attention to ammo and health
The Ishimura level from Dead Space 2 was one of my favorite levels from a horror game in a while. The unease of being stuck in the tight corridors of the ship again really stood out compared to the more open areas of the Sprawl. Now I gotta go back and play Dead Space 2 again. Thanks Gameranx. 😅😅
I feel like the only one that prefers DS2 to 1
@@rahrahrasputin89 I feel like the majority of people preferred DS2, especially when it first launched. The art direction in DS2 was just so good. The church of unitology still gives me goosebumps.
@@I_horde_dogs i preferred there wasn’t so much backtracking and the focus on action didn’t detract from the horror. Some of the best video game set pieces from that era, I look forward to the sequel
@@rahrahrasputin89 I think most prefer DS2 over DS1, because it was overall better game in every aspect.
DS1 was kinda clunky many times, especially PC port, where fan made mouse and keyboard fix was mandatory.
@@njmfff yeah the stomp was so much more satisfying and visceral in DS2!
You forgot one of the most masterful horror levels: Thief: Deadly Shadows' "Robbing the Cradle". The build-up to the mission is superb as you learn more and more about the Shalebridge Cradle, a former orphanage (scary in itself), which was originally an insane asylum (even more disturbing) and then you find out that there was a point when it was for a brief moment both at the same time. The crazed inmates locked deeper in the Inner Cradle while the orphans were housed on the top floor of the very same building.
It doesn't feature a single jump scare and it is pure unnerving stuff as you wander through the forsaken halls. And like every good horror piece, it can really be experienced only once. I'd give something to get my memory erased for that part so I could experience the mission again for the first time!
Yes, that was something else. They should do another top 10 of this.
That was the last game in the series, so why would they put it on the list?
I thought of this as well, but I believe the reboot in 2014 also had a horror level inspired by Shalebridge, so it did get revisited. Definitely an all time great horror level though
What about the nightmare part in Max Payne 1 and 2 where you walk on a blood trail in total void
Encountering Regenerators from RE4 (especially in the remake) was terrifying and still is
Oh God, I remember how scary the nights in Dying Light are. After that volatile-zombie introduction mission, I NEVER ventured out in the night, always went to sleep to get to morning before it got too dark. Scary stuff indeed!
Glad to see the Tomb Raider reboot included. That whole sequence really shocked me for a game that for the most part isn't horror orientated, especially coming quite early on in the story.
Another i'd include is the boss fight with the dog thing in Hellblade. The whole set up of the game is intentionally unnerving but as someone who is petrified of dogs, i just can't bring myself to take on that bit.
Fenrir! Yeah man, that boss fight was a big nope. And you don't realize just how big he is until Hel has you fight him again in the final section. Out of all the bosses in that game though, I liked fighting the crow guy with dual sickles. He made me feel awesome when killing him
The bunker Uncharted mission truly made my palms sweat when I first played it when the game was barely a week into release. Back then, I was usually getting my news from Gamespot & Gametrailer’s forums, and barely anyone even knew about the game (PS3 was in a bad shape back then), let alone anything about this scary as hell level. Thank goodness it only lasted for a few tense minutes.
The thing that really adds to the scary nature of Air Drop I think are the constant footsteps and sounds that Volatiles make that you can hear at all times while running. I felt like if I even took a second to look back it'd be right behind me. It was especially brutal with a set of audiophile grade headphones💀
The sounds that would randomly come from your controller 😱 omfg that would be make the heart jump
Not many people gonna remember this one but the level where you have to swim in the giant tank with the lab experiment from Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness, it was defiantly the most memorable part of that game
A lot of that game is freaky, the Sanitorium is absolutely the scariest level though...Fuhuck that.
I feel like i'm one of the few that actually enjoyed Doom 3. It had at times a pretty intense atmosphere
Nah it was good. Little different from the rest of the series but I liked it
All I remember from doom 3 is the fact I needed a duct tape flashlight mod to even see freaking anything in the game. I hated it all that extreme darkness
@@MMoer The BFG edition fixed that by making it so that all weapons had a flashlight attachment.
It is honestly my favorite one (possibly the only one I truly enjoyed). ^_^
I liked it and remember it being super scary lol
That stage from Mario 64 with the eel. No one was ready for that. Can’t think of another jump scare being in another Mario game like that.
I will forever hate the Berserker in Gears of War.
The concept itself of being trapped in dark hallways with a huge blind monster that you have to taunt with the Lancer chainsaw so that it helps you escape is genius. The tension in that level is unforgettable.
9:56 that dude went FLYING LMAO 😂😂😂 Made me cough from laughing XD
There are many missions in RE7 that are freaking scary. Lucas’ SAW house, the Marguerite boss battle, must I go one 😁
how about you go two?
@@dylanherron3963 Nah man three is the way to go
I can't even think about the Margeuritte boss fight without laughing. She's so over the top stupid that I find her hilarious instead of scary lol
The baby in 8 was scary to me.
@@Gamesta100 re8 was a giant let down. The beneviento house was also the most over rated part of probably the most over rated game in the franchise.
@@Gamesta100nahhh that was dum
I mean RE village is more fun
But a hundred procent the most terrifying goes to 7
Out of all RE it’s even on their page
Lucas's area in Resi 7 is one of my favorite parts of the game and one of the most stressful for me. I really hope that similar ideas get incorporated into future horror games. I loved Village, but Bioharzard is much scarier, aside from the House Beniviento section.
You like sadistic psychopathic puzzles?
Yes, officer. This commenter right here.
Lucas' part was also my favorite without a doubt. I think RE7 keeps the horror the same pace for the majority of the game, but i found specific parts of Village to be scarier than anything in Biohazard. Both were amazing though. The RE2 remake is still the scariest RE game for me. The police station was so claustrophobic and tense at so many different points. Felt oppressive in the best way possible.
I remember way back in the day, I bought Dino Crisis for the PS1, and about crapped my pants during the scene where the T-Rex's head goes through the giant window! Of course then you get treated to a mini boss fight.
That still holds up as one of my biggest jumpscares!
Lab X18 from Stalker Shadow Of Chernobyl deserves a spot on this list. The player visits a bunch of labs in the Stalker seriea but no area had that creepy feel to it. From the sound design to the weird phenomena and enemies that you encounter for the first time, everything creates this feeling of dread and isolation. Stalker is a masterpiece when it comes to atmosphere but that level still sticks out to me. I was too scared to play trough it in one go at 12 years old.
I remember this one mission from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, where you have to visit some abandoned hotel, and it's haunted by poltergeist. While the scary or gory stuff aren't out of place in this game because it's horror-action rpg game, this mission is unique in a sense that there's no actual enemy, there's huge build up and at the very end you have to cleanse the poltergeist, however the atmosphere is perfect as you will find notes, diaries and newspaper clips telling of gruesome ax murder, while occasionally seeing apparition of murdered wife running and screaming through hallways. It was very strong homage to Shining, Poltergeist and Amityville horror.
Is that the house that you could die in by standing in the wrong place, or was that another one?
My favorite horror level of all time.
"literally nothing happens the whole time, it's so scary" 🤔
@@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968 I don't recall if you could die like that, played the game back when it came out, but I remember this mission standing out because they were really trying to make it tense as possible.
@@njmfff I think it's the same place. I do remember visiting a weird scary house and I do remember dying in it but now I think it was because of the way you navigate through it.
Revisiting the Ishimura in DS2 really was so good! I was totally on edge just waiting and waiting. I never let my guard down but when that first necromorph appeared it was such a release. Honestly the moments of quiet before were brutal for me lol
It was very disappointing that Dying Light 2 abolished the scary, extremely dangerous, dark nights. It’s like the developers forgot what made the first game amazing. It wasn’t just the parkour, it was that it was genuinely scary.
Dying Light 2 was one of the biggest disappointments in recent memory.
Dying light 2 was a good game and the new dlc is amazing
@@lone_eye_4107you are wrong
@Marquise Pixley how the fuck do you decide what was a disappointment for me??? DL2 was awful. And is missing arguably the only things that made DL1 a good game.
I didn't play DL, kind of missed it at the time. But was excited to give DL2 a shot, but I decided not to when I learned it wasn't a very scary game. :/
In regards to Banjo-Kazooie, Clanker's Cavern has only one moment I would classify as horror: the jiggy piece in the tunnel that results in drowning if you don't know how to swim well. A better choice would be Rusty Bucket Bay. You have the shark continually chasing you, enemies hiding as props, and the oil-slick water drains your oxygen any time you're in water.
I recently just played banjo and I was thinking the most scary thing was swimming cuz it is difficult and I found that jiggy your talking about and drowned. I couldn't figure out if its just I suck at swimming or your suppose to drown.
What about the hotel sequence in “the last of us?” Like, just as you turn the lights on and have to quickly run into the stairwell before the bloater and clickers get you. That part always scares the crap out of me, especially when playing on grounded.
Well, Falcon would be comparing that to the sequel, and for a lot of players, nothing is more terrifying in the series than the Rat King sequence. Also that work bench jump scare in Ellie’s section was really well done.
I think some of the Thief series missions are pretty noteworthy. Shalebridge Cradle, Pagan areas, your first encounter with the undeath
Shalebridge Cradle is always the correct answer.
Definitely the Shalebridge Cradle but as an honorable mention I’d throw in the haunted libray in Casing the Joint/Masks from Thief 2. Comes out of nowhere and a pretty messed up little side story regarding what happened to the two ghosts.
First encounter with a Hammer Haunt in Thief :The Dark Project! 😊. And the darn cathedral. Shalebridge Cradle in T3 was unsettling too naturally.
I have an honorable mention for the Far Cry 4 mission Don't Look Down. In a game that is all about guns and explosions, you suddenly lose everything, even your trusty knife. And there is this one enemy who is trying to hunt you down. It's not a true horror scene, but it's the only time you're absolutely defenseless.
I was born in 1990, but Doom was still darn scary throughout at the time. If it weren't for my two older older brothers, I'd never have even touched it on my own, and as is I only ever played a couple of the early levels.
Resident Evil 7 in VR was seriously the scariest game I've played. (No, I won't play Alien Isolation VR 😂)
I grew up living on a lake and when I played Banjo Kazooie and got to Clanker's Cavern I became paranoid that a metal shark would get me while I swam. So to avoid this, I would pull my feet up as high as I could and still be able to tread water. I still sometimes catch myself doing it when I swim in lakes, even as an adult. lol
"Dragon Age: Origins" fits this list, with Hespith and the introduction of the Brood Mothers and how they're created. Even though "Dragon Age: Origins" DLC "Awakening" explored a Brood Mother nest and the main villain (or co-main villain) was a Brood Mother, they did not portray the horrific element that it did when you made it through the Deep Roads and listened to Hespith's poem repeated as you made it into the Brood Mother chamber. It still stands out as one of the most disturbing scenes in video games for me, and even when they tried to make a horror scene in later games, it was nothing like that scene. I love how you can barely hear it when she first says it, and she keeps repeating it, as you enter, until it's all you can really focus on, before you see what is waiting inside the room, knowing what it used to be, and what she went through to become what she is.
"First day, they come and catch everyone..."
I remember in Alien Isolation, after seeing the Xenomorph the first time there was a section where I had to use a tram. I went in there and activated the ride, but I heard it lurking around and charging at me. This was the moment I freaked out, paused the game and turned off my console lol.
When I tell you I was not ready for that bunker level in the first Uncharted, please believe me. I went in there like it was just an abandoned bunker. Oh boy was I wrong.
Same! I went in there with my interest piqued and when the monsters suddenly started coming I nearly had a heart attack 😂
@@annkatherine6327 hahaha 😆 same I freaked the heck out.
The reveal of those creatures in Uncharted genuinely shocked me. I had the feeling of being watched and thought I saw something at one point when you're heading to the temple, but thought it was just paranoia
As a horror, I would say the early Wolfenstein where you were a lone soldier behind the enemy line attacking the Enemy stronghold and throughout the mission you see the soldier panicking and you have no clue whats going on and as night starts so does the demon start rising up, was never able to finish that game.
Anyone that ever played Dying Light 1
We all remember That Moment ♡ everyone has more or less the same response, it is FUN to see others go thru it and it is THE perfect way to let players know "you are now the hunted"
Fantastic game, fantastic mission, criminally underrated, story not long enough but absolutely a gem of a game, no question
F.E.A.R.: Discovering you're Alma's kid.
What a mind bender.
Developers of horror games need to continue to make this kind of horror. Fans need them.
With survivor horror going more mainstream again, I hope Bethesda makes a spin-off of Doom in a survivor horror setting with scary demons and devilish and cult aspect, maybe blend it a bit more with reality at first and go crazy with demon worlds later.
So...Doom 3?
But if you want a more "survival horror" Doom, you can try Painkiller.
I would really love to have a sequel or even a remake to Condemned. Was so unique and fun.
I still remember the mission in alien isolation where you had to go in the hive… I never finished the game
the librarian in metro 2033 scared the shit out of me
I know it wasn't a horror game but, one game that really horrified me was in Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. The big ol' haunted house gave me chills like I had never experienced in my entire life. Still remember how I tried to tough out the feeling of being scared.
Another great one is Castle Town in Ocarina of Time after you become adult Link. Those zombie humper things always freaked me out when I was a kid.
Ocarina Of Time had many scary moments. Especially the Dead Hand enemy at the bottom of the well.
Mannnnnnn always puts a smile on my face when I see y’all post a video!
🤝
@Zane Ya nice profile picture👍
Dying Light 2 is a very faint shadow of the first game in so many ways, the horror aspect is just one aspect of it. But that Air Drop mission still gets my heart pounding to this day, and I’ve played it a dozen times or more.
DL2 at launch was a very different game to DL2 now. Give it another whirl, be sure to turn on darker nights.
Amazing List and I have played them ALL! Keep up the great job!
I’d like to pitch an honorable mention. The spider tunnels in Mortal Kombat X in the area where you unlock collectibles. Spiders literally jump scare you as you’re just walking around, and as someone with arachnophobia, I had to turn off sound and look away to move through it.
I love tomb raider 2013, and rise of the tomb raider
When I started this video, the first thing that came to mind was the bunker in Uncharted and sure enough it was on the list 😂
That air drop mission in Dying Light was exactly the point where I fell in love with that game. I haven't even played DL2 yet and I'm not sure that I will. Probably just play through Dying light again instead.
The tension at the Ishimura level made me feel so uncomfy that I literally cried. I stood up from my computer, went into the corner and cried for like 1 minute straight, then returned to my computer. I loved this game so much - I wanna play it again for the first time.
That entire tonal shift in the first uncharted had me shitting my pants. There was nothing like it before everything turned on you. And then things got very very creepy.
Hear me out! The game is old but in Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, the mission where you sleep in the nasty hotel and the citizens wake you up to hunt you down... This game genuinely terrified me years back.
It's not quite the same, but the reboot of Call of Ctulhu has a few very tense and freaky levels/sequences, including one mid-way that just completely changes the whole feel of the game into "oh wow, that went from 1 to 11 real quick".
That image of half Lara's head emerging from the blood pool was my desktop and PSN profile wallpaper for a good while.
Honorable mention for me was Doom 3 Delta Lab. That mission felt as if the game knew it was time to ramp up the creepy ambience and jumpscares
In Time Splitters 2 Siberia, the zombies were actually creepy as hell, especially if you play on higher difficulties (map is much bigger). When TS3 came out the zombies were.. a lot easier to fight lets say
Hey ganeranx am The Game Genie and I hav been following u guys for about 4 years now
6:57
Lara was really hardcore in this game.
Really brutal and ruthless how she killed the enemies.
And this scene where she comes up from a literal blood bath was very iconic for that reason.
One level I found scary back then was in "Thief-Deadly Shadows" (AKA Thief 3) the mission where you went through an old asylum or something.
Dying Light was probably the first game I got really scared in
Didn't help that I panicked and couldn't find a safehouse so I ended up running way more than I needed to
I think we all did that at least once playing Dying Light 1
The first time I played Uncharted scared the hell out of me lol
The thing about Tombraider 2013 was that, if you were someone who had been playing Tombraider since the 90s, this hard turn into a nearly survival horror genre was so unexpected that it was literally jarring.
I know people don't like it much, and I didn't at the time either. However, playing it again in 2023, I've really began to appreciate the way the gameplay evolves as you go. At the start it has a similar feel to Evil Within's opening level. By the end it's basically full on action adventure like old school tombraider.
Thanks for reminding us about Clanker... Those memories are ones I didn't wanna remember
For me it was merely the walk through the Lost Woods to get to the master sword in breath of the Wild. First playing it, I hated the music and the echo-like laughter of the koroks whenever the mist caught you, followed by Link's I suppose spooked gasp. It always set me on edge despite little to nothing happening. It also happened again with a korok trial where there was actually enemies but the first inital test of trying to get to the Great Deku Tree freaked me out a lot
Can’t way I found that Tomb Raider section scary, surprised to see it on here
Same for the bunker section in Uncharted.
Yeah but one of the entries is "nothing happens for half the level, it's so scary" so you knew what you had signed up for
I was almost positive that Shalebridge Cradle from Thief Deadly Shadows was going to make it. That lvl used to give me and my entire friend circle nightmares. For years... Damn good list though. Happy about the Uncharted mention.
That part in the first uncharted was always my favorite part as a kid. Makes sense that as an adult survival horror and even modern horror games is one of my favorite genres
Honourable mention: Minding your own business quest in Hogwarts Legacy it comes so unexpectedly and it's a pretty scary quest compared to the others
One of the moments that came to mind, that I'm sure everyone that played it had was the piano room in Super Mario 64. I know it isn't really a level but a moment in time where alot of people had some ptsd from pianos in games for a while
I remember having to go back for a star in that area and having to wait for my brother to watch me play that part
I didn't lol
That piano scared the crap out of me as a kid lol
Spot on about Dead Space 2. The scariest part was that for so long nothing happened, and I just wanted it to end so badly. I was so relieved when an enemy finally showed up
Far Cry 4 DLC - Valley Of The Yeti. That was so creepy when the yeti would chase you. All you'd head is BOOM BOOM BOOM as he's chasing you. It was a great co-op experience too.
What really sucks about the Croc sequence is not being able to reflexively use the batarang. If you've been through it enough times, you can spot the cues, but first time around, I walked around with it at high ready 😬
Every time I played it, I never once put the batarang away. The one time I did, I heard him coming and couldn't figure out where tf he was until it was too late
Damn dis video bring back some bad memories
nothing is creepier than doing the tower of mice mission in Witcher 3 at night (in game) and at late nights in real life. something about that mission really gets to you, especially when you land on the island and the moonlight perfectly illuminates the drowners walking around and then you enter the show and its straight up haunted.
I still remember the first time my father and I played the catacombs mission in Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The atmosphere was perfect but scary, even my father got scared. Very few have managed to cause such a disturbing effect on me.
Oh yes I agree. Back when it came out it was scary as hell.
The music and those slow lumbering spirit zombies freaked me out, their spirit attack sound is still unsettling.
Want to talk about the "343 guilty spark" level in Halo ce? That level at the time was totally unexpected and damn scary.... A few levels before you fought the covenants in great battles with epic music in the background, now instead you are immersed in the darkness of the swamp, the covenant are scared of something you can't see....in the fog the motion detector signals disappearing enemies, on and off.... As you descend the facility you encounter mangled bodies and a crazed marine, the build up to the revelation of the floods is still phenomenal today. This level is so memorable because it bring with it a radical change of tone, a super creepy yet masterfully crafted level.
I still remember playing that level with a friend for the first time. We were both terrified!
The theme of the video is scary missions that didn’t return in the sequels. 343GS is definitely scary but they did similar missions in H2 and H3, those being “Sacred Icon/Quarantine Zone” and “Cortana” respectively.
@@couriervi8741 You're right Spartan, similar missions have been re-proposed in other Halos, but nothing comes even remotely to the fear and amazement that this mission brought at the time, that's why I proposed this level in the comment.... Because the sense of fear perceived in it has never been revived properly ever since.
Wouldn’t say there was fear, more like repetition. The flood focused missions are known to be the most irritating to replay as they drag. Halo 3 had the absolute worst though with a variant that seemed to always replenished its health Everytime it transformed.
@@Shocknfunk lol the flood were my favorite thing to fight in Halo my friend hated thost levels but I loved fighting flood because I always considred them easier then fighting something that could shoot back like the covenant but their introduction was gold. It was very dead space like in a way and I loved it one of the only times Halo ever got to me with something other than amusement for the setting.
The devs get scared making their own content 😂
Gears of war 2 had some scary moments they never did again. The mission where the hailstorm hits while you're in that facility and the part where you're walking across the planks with the glowing mouth creatures below
Ok THANK YOU for including #5, my gosh seeing Clanker for the first time was absolutely terrifying as an 8-10 yr old. I do remember having actual nightmares.
Remember getting The Evil Within on release with the PS4, played about an hour. The anxiety and stress, too much. Turned it off, never played again.
Nah the first mission in dying light got me 💀 had me hiding from volatiles in the water for 15 mins until I realized the night doesn’t end till you make it back to the towers
😂
Same i was hiding in a house and it's take me 15 or 20 min to understand that
Also, Temple of shadows Ocarina of time to me is one of the tops
Thief -Asylum mission was super scary when I played it as a teenager.
I think Batman Arkham Asylum scariest part of the game was definitely the scarecrow. That shit terrified my 11 year old self. It has stuck with me to this day and still gives me Nightmares where I'm in that situation.
Scary games have scary missions - Gameranx 2023 😂
the bunker from uncharted really stands out from the rest of all the other areas and vibes from anything in the series. I remember getting super scared playing through that, looked like I was threw into another Ravenholm.
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to drag Dying Light 2. 😆 It deserved every word.
