I love horror, in films, in aesthetics, and even in real life. When It comes to horror games I just cant handle it. So here are my top 15 horror games/series that I just cant play.

15) Silent Hill Games

Of this list, this is one of the rare few that I actually attempted. Specifically silent hill 2. The creepy sound effects, the enemies that just won’t stay down, and the impossible controls just freak me out, way too much to finish this title. (The movies on the other hand are decent, they could be a lot scarier, however.)

14) Bioshock 1 & 2

This seems like a cool game with an awesome setting, with gameplay similar to Dishonored. However with its creepy, twitching, laughing enemies around dark corners. That is going to have to be a no from me. A lovely game that I will most likely watch a playthrough of.

13) Dying light (at Night)

This one is a bit of cheating. I actually somehow managed to get through and beat all of the first Dying Light. However I absolutely panicked during the nighttime missions, and never of my own accord ventured out at night. Cool side quest with an awesome reward that needs me to go out at night, nope not doing.

12) Left 4 Dead

Now I can play this game if I have friends, however, if I am alone I will not touch this game. Zombies freak me out and I just can’t do it. On the other hand, zombie movies are an old past-time that I will gladly watch alone in the dark.

11) SOMA

I have seen a playthrough of this game, and absolutely loved the story and the cool underwater atmosphere. However, its shambling and corrupted, screeching enemies, have halted me from even attempting a playthrough. Plus I’ve already seen the story so there’s really no need right? Right?!

10) Subnautica

I’m not even sure if Subnautica is technically even a horror game. However, I do know that there are horrible things that lurk in the dark. I don’t even have that bad of fear of deep water and ancient leviathans that may inhabit it. Though I do fear that I will see one, so for that, I’m out.

9) Any VR horror game

The budget could have been 5 dollars to make whatever playdoh like design, but if you put in creepy music, and anything that chases me. I will be too scared and will throw something (most likely the headset).

8) Amnesia

The games that have the monster always creeping around somewhere, get me the worst. I’ll never take a breath my heart will pound the entire time and I will not be able to play it for longer than 10 minutes otherwise ill have a heart attack.

7) Five Nights at Freddie’s

Any of the games in the series are too scary. Not only do the mechanics seem almost luck-based with their insufficient resource management, but the fact that they will just come at you at random reminds me of a long drawn-out jack-in-the-box.

6) Alien Isolation

The Alien movie is an absolute classic, that I have seen countless times. Though, much like in amnesia, if I know that it is constantly chasing me at all times. I’d rather just die and get it over with. I believe when I attempted to play it, and the creature was chasing me I sat the controller down and accepted my fate, and then never touched it again.

5) Old Resident Evil games

Combine zombies mixed with horrible controls and you get yet another game I don’t ever want to play. While there are remakes that make the controls more manageable, I still won’t do it.

4) New Resident Evil games

It’s almost ironic that the resident evil movies are not even horror, yet Resident Evil 7 is what it is. This may be the game that I would want to play the least. It’s claustrophobic, it has a mix of jump scares, as well as looming horror, with the graphics to enhance the experience.

3) Fatal Frame Series

What’s worse than seeing some horrible abomination meandering towards you? Well knowing that there is something there, but being unable to see it. Unseen horror is prominent within the genre and the Fatal Frame series does it to a great extent, so much so that I will never even try any title in the series.

2) DreadOut

Extremely similar to the last title, this game is a Japanese horror where there are a plethora of eerie phantoms, constantly all around you. Even better dealing with these yokai-esk spirits, isn’t a simple or even possible task. Horror games love to make you feel powerless.

1) Dead Space Games

Dead Space was the first horror game I was ever introduced to. I was a child and a fan of the Halo series. So when I saw the title Dead space I was ecstatic that I had found another space shooter. I was so horribly wrong, and now Dead Space will have a special place in my heart. I still won’t play it though.
