It's Halloween time again and I was hoping some of you had some good horror games that maybe I haven't played a few less mainstream are welcome as long as it's on Xbox or PS4.

Played all Res Evil, TLoU 1 and 2, Amnesia games, Little Nightmare games, Still Wakes the Deep and both Alan Wake games.

 

[Pimpollo818]

Darkwood - it's on PS4. Xbox SKUs are confusing to me (e.g. One, X, S, ugh), I can't help you there

 

[GymWolf]

Play condemned 1 if you never played it, more tense than most horror games.

 

[Negotiator101]

Darkwood

I actually own that but never played it, was a game with gold free one I think, thanks

 

[Shaggidy]

I just finished a revisit to Doom 3, that's pretty good. I'd also recommend Signalis, the Dead Space remake, and the Ghostbusters Game.

 

[CrimsonTide]

Darkwood and Condemned are awesome

Until Dawn is fun
Outlast
The Evil Within 1 and 2
Tormented 1 and 2 (coming next week I think)
Course Silent Hill
Inside
Soma
Stay out of the house (AMAZING Gem!!)
Killer Frequency (another gem)

 

[Rocinante618]

Evil Within 1 & 2 on Xbox. Don't get EW1 on Steam.

 

[ReyBrujo]

A few I played this year (old ones), White Day: A Labyrinth Named School, The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation and The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication. If you play Inside play also Limbo (though they aren't _that_ horror). I got queued a few Fatal Frame ones (Maiden of Black Water and another I can't remember right now), Ikai, Remothered: Tormented Fathers and Remothered: Broken Porcelain.

 

[Gonzito]

Going to the off topic forum in Resetera is an horror game in itself

Jokes aside, I would say go for Visage. You'll shit your pants

 

[violence]

I'm replaying Dead Space Remake right now. Still great. I also recommend Silent Hill 2 remake.

 

[Buggy Loop]

The answer is obviously Alien Isolation

 

[Sticks]

 

[freemandos]

I add these:

Crow Country (if you want a survival horror challenge, hard mode is the real normal mode)
Withering Rooms (horror rpg with survival horror elements, I'm almost finished and it's very unique, tense and fun)
Song of Horror (playable characters have permadeath and there's a lot of instakill situations. Not a problem to me and if you don't care go ahead, it's fantastic, but there's an easy mode that diables permadeath if it's too much for you).
Alisa
Murder House
Mortuary Assistant (short but very replayable and you won't get the full picture in a single playthrough)
Detention
The Nun Massacre (Stay Out of the House is better, but still...)
Fran Bow (it's a poin'click game, I don't know if you like this)

Fran Bow, damn that game is like SAD AS FUCK. Good game. But damn

 

[ClanOfNone]

Darkwood is secretly one of the best horror games ever made.
World of Darkness is another great one with a very unique structure.

 

[adamsapple]

Go old school and play one of the most underrated horror game.

 

[XERXES_89]

SOMA and Outlast 2.

 

[freemandos]

Go old school and play one of the most underrated horror game.

Fantastic game, one of the best horror FPS games, but he asked for games avaliable on ps4 and Xbox. Unfortunately it isn't on consoles.

I understand, but the game is so old it's probably gonna run even on toaster laptops.

 

[Arachnid]

The answer is obviously Alien Isolation

This and Signalis for 10/10 survival horror

 

[Shockwave_Fox]

Alien Isolation 100%

 

[Hudo]

While I agree with Alien: Isolation and Signalis. Maybe I can interest you in going back to the OG (or at least one of the OGs): Alone in the Dark from 1992.

 

[Codiox]

That fucking game man. Killed me back then, but loved it.

Also The Suffering 1+2 were pretty good!

 

[freemandos]

Yeah, you're right. It's a 2001 game, his computer wouldn't have any problem.

 

[adamsapple]

Plus one.

If you have any Xbox One or beyond console, Condemned 1 is BC and it runs with an unlocked frame rate.

 

[Stafford]

Little Nightmares 1 and 2!

 

[intbal]

Plus one.

If you have any Xbox One or beyond console, Condemned 1 is BC and it runs with an unlocked frame rate.

Condemned has a 45fps framerate cap, so it's not really unlocked.
And capping a game at a non-divisible number on 360 wasn't possible, so they used irregular frame delivery to achieve it.
That carries over to the BC version. It tries to stay at 45fps, but it's above and below quite rapidly. I tried on three different displays with different VRR implementations. I even tried it on my One X, since that uses the older Freesync 2 system. None of them looked smooth during gameplay.
I got the best result from running in a 120hz container with VRR turned off.

Unlocked over 30*

Played on the Series X last year and it holds the 45 locked, it's within the VRR window so it feels much more smoother than a 30.

If OP has a Series console, performance on 120hz/VRR won't be an issue.

 

[Stafford]

Probably already mentioned but Alan Wake!

That reminds me that I still need to start with Alan Wake 2, bought it like two or three years ago, sheesh.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Alan Wake 2 is free on PS+ this month. Definitely a spooky game and is apparently highly regarded.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Wanna add an obscure one here. It's a Point & Click Adventure but yea, it's Horror. I loved it.

 

[DragoonKain]

Tormented Souls is like an old school Resident Evil type game. Doesn't hold your hand.

 

[MagiusNecros]

 

[Negotiator101]

Going to the off topic forum in Resetera is an horror game in itself

Jokes aside, I would say go for Visage. You'll shit your pants

This actually looks scary.

 

[grvg]

Pathologic 2. You play a doctor in a mysterious town with an initially incomprehensible culture that is stricken with an extremely virulent plague shortly after your arrival. 10/10 writing and atmosphere, with a bit of that good old fashioned slavjank.

It's one of my top 3 games of all time.

It is stressful to play.

this, great game

Oh facts.

Just visiting that cesspool will have you lose some braincells automatically.
