Dead by Daylight
Developed by Behaviour Interactive, "Dead by Daylight" is an asymmetric survival horror game that pits a team of four survivors against one killer. The game's heart-racing dynamics is in its unpredictability, as each match is different. Players can choose from a roster of iconic horror killers, from the gruesome Leatherface to the supernatural Spirit. The survivors, on the other hand, must work together, using their wits and the environment, to evade the killer and escape the map. With continuously updated content, including new killers, survivors, and maps, "Dead by Daylight" offers endless scares, making it a top pick for Halloween gaming.
Phasmophobia
If you've ever been intrigued by paranormal activities and ghost hunting, "Phasmophobia" is the game for you. Developed by Kinetic Games, this co-op psychological horror puts you in the shoes of a paranormal investigator. Teams use various tools, from EMF readers to spirit boxes, to gather evidence and determine which ghost haunts the location. But be careful! The ghosts react to your actions and can become hostile. The immersive atmosphere, realistic sound effects, and the fact that the entity can hear your voice through your microphone (so keep those screams quiet!) makes "Phasmophobia" an incredibly eerie experience. The recent updates have added more ghosts and maps, ensuring you won't run out of frights any time soon.
Dying Light
Techland's "Dying Light" is a brilliant blend of parkour and zombies. Set in the fictional city of Harran, which has been quarantined after an outbreak, players navigate the urban environment, scavenging for supplies during the day. But as the sun sets, the infected become more aggressive, and fearsome predators emerge. This first-person action horror game incorporates a day-night cycle that drastically affects gameplay. The tension of being pursued by a horde of zombies under the moonlight or scaling tall buildings with the fear of the fall is unmatched. With "Dying Light 2" out, players have even more content, story, and scares to delve into.
This Halloween, whether you're looking to experience the terror alone or share the fright with friends, these games promise to deliver heart-pounding moments. From being hunted by iconic horror figures to investigating the supernatural, to running for your life in a post-apocalyptic city, immerse yourself in these worlds and let the horror take over. Happy gaming and... Happy Halloween!
