5 spooky games to play this Halloween weekend

Halloween is here, but if you don’t have any plans to get spooked out at a random friend’s house, you might as well play some spooky video games in your comfort zone. We’ve curated some of the best games that will scare you and test your nerves. These titles are thrilling, frightening, and haunting. So, without further ado, let’s check out these spooky horror games you can play this Halloween.

Inside

If you love thrills and fear, and are also a fan of rogue-like games, Inside is for you. The best part about this game is its simplicity. It’s a black-and-white title based entirely on the screenplay. There are no random characters to complete the story. It’s only you in a dull world, and all you have to do is go forward and complete the story. It’s brutal, puzzling, emotional, and cinematic.

Resident Evil 2

If you are a fan of survival horror games, check out Resident Evil 2. Although most Resident Evil games are scary, this one is a classic you must play. The title starts in a fictional town called Raccoon City, and you play as Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie cop attempting to survive the zombie outbreak. There are monsters to fight, puzzles to solve, and different weapons to explore.

Silent Hill f

Silent Hill f is a relatively new game, and it’s set in 1960’s Japan. A small town, Ebisugaoka, is consumed by a sudden fog, transforming it into a haunting nightmare. You play as Hinako, who’s navigating the twisted paths of the town, while solving complex puzzles and confronting monsters. Since it’s an ancient game setting, you not only get to spook out, but also get to explore the small mountains and hills.

State of Decay 2

State of Decay 2 was once a popular story-driven horror game, and it deserves to be in your Halloween playlist. This one is open-world, and again, you are surviving a zombie apocalypse. What’s interesting is that, in this game, you aren’t a sheriff or cop who’s trying to fight back, but a hero character trying to escape and build a community of survivors.

The Walking Dead

Lastly, we have a simple, yet scary point-and-click zombie game – The Walking Dead. It’s not a realistic game or trying to be a horror survival title, but rather a story-driven horror game that’s truly touching. The game follows Lee Everett, a convicted criminal who becomes the guardian of a young girl amidst the onset of the zombie apocalypse in Georgia. You’d experience thrill, fear, and sadness—all at once.

These are all the best horror games you can play this Halloween on PC and console. So, which of these are you playing? Do let us know in the comments below.
