Top 25 Best Horror PC Games of All Time
#25 BioShock 2
Bioshock 2 takes place ten years after the events of the first game, with the player taking on the role of Subject Delta, a prototype “Big Daddy”—one of the lumbering hulks who patrols the derelict city. Unlike most of the mindless goliaths that prowl its darkened corridors, Subject Delta is on a mission to save his daughter, and he isn’t going to let anyone, or anything get in his way.
#24 Doom 3
More notable for its cheap thrills instead of genuine horror, Doom 3 relied on gimmicks like monster closets and a separate flashlight that rendered you defenseless. It is nonetheless one of the scariest games the platform has to offer.
#23 Metro 2033
Metro 2033 is a first person shooter that takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where much of the world has been devastated by nuclear war. Set in Moscow, survivors have found refuge within the city’s underground railway. Unfortunately for the survivors, they aren’t the only ones living beneath the surface. The player must venture out into the open and find a way to destroy the monsters at their source before they make humanity extinct.
#22 Fallout 3
In this post-apocalyptic future of Washington D.C., one man attempts to bring life back to the Capitol Wasteland with the use of pre-war technology. Taking the role of that man’s only child, you are exiled from the Vault—the only place you have ever known—and venture out into the desolate wasteland to find your father, and finish what he started. Unfortunately for you, the wasteland is full of horrors they never told you about in the safety of the Vault.
#21 Aliens vs Predator 2
Fewer things are creepier than having an Alien Facehugger latch onto the back of your head the moment you turn your back to the darkness. Such is the short life of a Colonial Marine in this intense first person shooter, where players can take on the role of a Marine, an Alien or a Predator in three distinct campaigns.
