Resident Evil 2 (Image credit: Capcom) Best of the best (Image credit: CD Projekt RED) Best PC games Best free PC games Best laptop games 2020 games Capcoms Resident Evil 2 remake does something that almost doesnt seem possible after decades of horror games: it makes zombies seem scary again.

The shambling horde feels properly menacingseemingly unstoppable lumps of slow, shambling flesh that beat down doors, spill through windows and just keep coming.

This is a return to the survival horror style that made Resident Evil famous, and a clever reimagining of one of its most iconic locations.

Its a treat for those of us who played the original, but also an accomplished and clever horror game in its own right.

If you prefer your scares in first-person, Resident Evil 7 also remains a grisly treatespecially the creepy first half.

Control (Image credit: Remedy Entertainment) Its not horror in the traditional senseundeads, gore, teens making terrible decisionsbut Remedys latest excels at surreal bureaucratic dread.

As the new director of the Bureau of Control, you explore a strange, shifting office full of possessed workers, mysterious objects of power and The Boardan ominous inverted pyramid that speaks almost exclusively in synonyms.

And hey, if you do need some honest-to-god terror, just watch an episode of the games in-universe puppet show, Threshold Kids.

The murderous artificial consciousness paved the way for GlaDOS of course, but its the combination of meaningful character advancement, rewarding exploration, horrifying enemies and (at the time) the novel use of audio diaries that make System Shock 2 such a memorable horror game.

It was essentially Deus Ex on a spaceshipif youve ever played Deus Ex, or been on a spaceship, you can imagine how delectable that sounds.

Alien Isolation The best Alien game ever, by a long way, Alien: Isolation stars the smartest, scariest enemy in any game.

The Xenomorphs killer instinct is matched only by its curiosity.

It learns more about the Sevastopols nooks and crannies as it hunts you over the course of 12 hours, ripping doors off closets and peering under tables in search of prey.

The motion tracker can help you to avoid its grasp, but it can sense the sound, and even the gentle green light of its screen, making every glance a risk.

When the game forces you into the vents and you can hear the creature in there with you, Isolation becomes one of the scariest games ever made.

Oxenfree (Image credit: Night School Studio) An eerie indie treat, Oxenfree stars a group of teens who become trapped on an island full of strange and mysterious happenings.

The real joy is the banter between your friends (and grudging acquaintances), which mimics the fast-paced witty dialogue of a good teen horror flick.

As you progress, the island becomes increasingly strange and unnerving, and Oxenfree deploys some clever tricks to hold your attention and keep you second guessing throughout this ghostly yarn.

Man of Medan (Image credit: Supermassive Games) Man of Medan, like most horror movies, is best experienced with mates.

You control a group of friends stuck on a ghost ship, exploring and making split-second decisions that may very well end in death.

Its a tricky ship where you cant trust your eyes, or your co-op partner, who might be seeing something entirely different.
