Fallout 3 isn’t a horror game but man that atmosphere is crazy. I remember one of the very first missions has you go to galaxy news radio from the first settlement, megaton to talk to the DJ. It’s a really long journey through subway tunnels and ruined DC streets. The wasteland is pretty horrific and lots of enemies are disgusting and almost disturbing to look at.

As much as Bethesda gets shit for that game, they did an amazing job converting the atmosphere from the first two games into a 3D world.

A seminal classic!

I remember when I first rented FEAR at blockbuster, that section of the hallway at the start is so memorable.

I don’t remember specifics but it’s when you’re going through the building and keep seeing the little girl, then you get to a cluttered hallway and I think it was set ablaze and you were thrown back by her

I remember having just the demo installed for the longest time and just playing that brief section of the game over and over. It was just so damn cinematic and awesome.

It’s definitely interesting but it’s totally okay if it’s not for you. I really didn’t like it personally but it’s a bit disappointing when everyone and their mother is recommending it saying it’s the best thing ever.

I bounced off the game originally too. There’s a lot to take in (and I never quite mastered the spaceship), but once things start clicking it’s an unparalleled experience.

Doom 3 when I was a young teen, although much later it was Amnesia: The Dark Descent that got me more interested in horror games.

pemmykins,

I really wanted to enjoy doom 3, but even 20 years later I haven’t finished the main campaign. Too many cheap jumpscares and the switching to the flashlight just to see, really put me off in the end. However, it was a pretty game for the time.

Amnesia is great, I haven’t finished that one either but it’s the good kind of horror, much more creepy and slow-burning.

Tip: do use the ship log. It tells you where you still have something left to explore. So if you visited somewhere and missed some details, it will let you know.

Alright, I’ll see what I can get from that. Cheers,

One of two. Ghosts and Ghouls on snes, I was like 4 but wasn’t scared. And the other one is not a horror game but for 6 year old me it was scary as shit, Halo CE. The Library level and the one before, 343 Guilty Spark, were hell for me. Beating those levels was a goddamn relief.

Resident Evil first then a few years later Silent Hill. Those two kept me awake many nights in my teen years.

JonEFive,

The exact two that I thought of. I honestly enjoyed Silent Hill more than I expected and even liked it more than Resident Evil.

F.E.A.R. and Penumbra

I never played horror games when I was a kid, but Dead Space and Amnesia: The Dark Descent were the two games that really solidified what I wanted out of a horror game. Having the ability to defend yourself instead of running is still something that makes or breaks a horror game for me.

Dead Space still scares the hell out of me.

The body horror has always been one of the best things about Dead Space, the creatures are just horrifying

Silent Hill was the first video game I really played all the way through on my own (and was also on the first console we ever owned). I had played Mario, Sonic, Donkey Kong, Goldeneye, etc. at my friends’ houses, but that was the game that really started it all! I was already into horror stuff at that point, so it was right up my alley, though. I still think of Pyramid Head on foggy days.

Related, but PT was a fun experience when it first came out. Played it once on my own and then once with a group of friends!

Devi,

I played Silent hill with my friend, whenever one of us got scared we threw the controller to the other one, there were times that we were playing 10 seconds each.

evening_push579,

Same here! Silent hill 2 and 3. We usually played F-zero x or Diddy Kong racing to ease the atmosphere before wrapping up for the night. But it was so sparking creepy to go home at 3 in the night still…

Devi,

I was about 13 so we played after school and before we had to go home for tea, it was super creepy though and I still feel uneasy in the fog.

Hilarious that it even embedded the tweet so you can see it’s not an accurate quote.

Bad enough when humans do it, adding nothing.

The first NES Castlevania. Still a classic.

I actually have a 3E diorama of from the opening level hanging in my condo. I replay it once or twice a year. Still holds up.
