It follows Ellie, as she sets of on a quest for revenge, one that takes her across the country, and face to face with several new threats. The combat is massively upgraded from the first game, as are the visuals, facial capture, and enemy variety. If you have a PS5 or a PS4, you really can&#8217;t go wrong here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Available on:<\/strong> PS5, PS4<\/p>\n<p>While The Last of Us series is thought of as more of a story, narrative-focused affair, it&#8217;s undoubtedly rooted in horror. <em>The Last of Us Part 2<\/em> has plenty of scares, included several set pieces that evoke Resident Evil, while using its excellent visuals and atmospheric audio to heighten the tension, and keep it there. You&#8217;ll fight plenty of humans in this sequel, though it&#8217;s the infected that steal the show. New variants provide some excellent twists and turns, and the game&#8217;s improved combat makes firefights more exciting than ever.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Last of Us Part 2<\/em> received a remaster in early 2024, bringing it to PS5 consoles. It&#8217;s reported that a PC version will follow next year, meaning more players will be able to dive in and experience Ellie&#8217;s latest story. It&#8217;s one that follows a more grown up Ellie, as she navigates love, loss, and heartbreak, across a sprawling campaign. This is an absolute must play for fans of narrative-focused games, and those that enjoy zombie horror.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\"  \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1724711599_697_The-10-best-horror-games-in-2024.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Isaac stands in a dimly lit room, looking at a wall with graffiti that reads: \" cut=\"\" off=\"\" their=\"\" limbs=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jP6dhpWSj8XrrM38FrmWHN.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jP6dhpWSj8XrrM38FrmWHN.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: EA \/ Motive)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<p>Why we love it<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><strong>The recent remake of <\/strong><em><strong>Dead Space<\/strong><\/em><strong> drags the game kicking and screaming into the modern day.

Often excluded from the conversation when best horror games are concerned, the original <em>Dead Space<\/em> was a masterclass in survival horror, set aboard one of the most iconic gaming locations of all time: The USG Ishimura. It&#8217;s hard to pin down exactly why the 2023 version works so well, but a lot of the heavy lifting surely comes from the detail and care given to recreating the atmosphere of the haunted space station. Thanks to some best-in-class lighting effects, <em>Dead Space<\/em> is scarier than ever.<\/p>\n<p>With a slightly updated control scheme, <em>Dead Space 2023<\/em> is easily one of the best horror games released in the last decade or so, offering a great jumping in point for new players. Combat remains weighty, as you work to dismember enemies before going in for the finishing blow. Give this one a go if you&#8217;re a fan of Resident Evil, but fancy a newer, more sci-fi inspired setting.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\"  \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1724711599_735_The-10-best-horror-games-in-2024.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A chef prepares a meal in a dimly lit galley\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5LYmuqLSXBxbGFR2FAUqvh.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5LYmuqLSXBxbGFR2FAUqvh.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: The Chinese Room)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Available on:<\/strong> PS5, XSX|S, PC<\/p>\n<p><em>Still Wakes the Deep<\/em> is one of the more recent entries on this list, developed by The Chinese Room and released in June of 2024. It tells the story of Caz, an electrician assigned to work on an oil rig in the North Sea.

With a tremendous sense of place, superb voice acting, and creepy horror elements, it\u2019s a small but punchy experience that we fully recommend despite some hand-holding, simple puzzles, and the story being a little too short.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s best to go into <em>Still Wakes the Deep<\/em> as fresh as possible, so we&#8217;ll mostly describe it as being an atmospheric horror game that takes place in a uniquely terrifying setting. The acting is superb throughout, with British actors conveying the dreariness of working on an oil rig perfectly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As you explore, you&#8217;ll work to bring parts of the rig back online following the accident, all the while attempting to locate your missing crew.

There are some outstanding options for the genre, but none of them manage to pull off every aspect of horror as well as this survival horror game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are beautiful graphics and imagery as the title expertly combines the two worlds of the protagonists, Alan Wake and Saga Anderson, as well as reality and video games in expertly shot cutscenes. There&#8217;s also an intriguing narrative that lends itself to engaging in-game detective work and fights, while music fans will be happy to know that the soundtrack in this horror game has had some serious effort put into it thanks to a great Scandinavian rock band. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The beginning few hours may be too terrifying even for veteran players.

Six is just a small girl, so you sneak past them instead of fighting these creatures. The tension in this best horror games contender comes from navigating complicated platforming sections while also being pursued by monsters.<\/p>\n<p><em>Little Nightmares<\/em> is a deserved entry on our best horror games list because it creates a feeling of helplessness while making it clear that you still have ways to escape. It takes familiar domestic areas that should be comforting and turns them on their head by making them repulsive and unsafe for Six to travel through. In any other medium, using children this way would be uncomfortable, and a shrunken protagonist would more likely make us think of 90s comedy films than tense horror, so<em> Little Nightmares<\/em> makes use of it being a game in all the right ways.<\/p>\n<p>The sequel, <em>Little Nightmares<\/em> <em>2<\/em><em>, <\/em>also has an all-new protagonist and terrors.
