Silent Hill 2 Remake is excellent and everything I've ever wanted out of a modern day remake of a classic horror title. Fantastic storytelling and great atmosphere.

Alien Isolation may not have gotten the best reviews over the years but it is genuinely terrifying to be actively hunted the entire game. Authentic Alien movie sci-fi dread!

The Dead Space Remake is another essential horror game that is a must for the genre. The original title does a fantastic job at atmosphere and making you want to run through areas just to get the scares over with.

SOMA is a sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It is an unsettling story about identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human. One of the best sci-fi stories period.

Inscryption is not only a fantastic rogue-like card game but also a horror game with a great atmosphere and story to figure out. One of my favorites over the last couple years.

Until Dawn is an excellent story driven horror game determined by the players choices. A great game to throw on at a party to get everyone's reactions and thought processes on certain choices that have to be made.
