Bioshock 1 only has the intro though, would you kindly pick up that radio? :p

Original FEAR is a goddamn masterpiece

[ModsDoBetter]

Was playing Alien: Isolation again a few weeks ago, still holds up and the AI is incredible.

F.E.A.R. was another amazing game, shame the series went downhill with 2 and then fell off entirely with F3AR.

Couldn’t get into Fatal Frame, bought the remaster on PS5 and just…couldn’t.

Fatal Frame 2 is an underrated masterpiece.

omg that game freaked me out haha

[Abnor_Mal]

One of my favorite games, would love to see a remake.

[gold_drake]

i still think Haunting Ground is one of the best.

Silent Hill 3 shouldn't be on this list. Scary? Sure. But reusing contextualized baddies like Pyramid Head to just be another boss encounter undermines the artistic integrity of Silent Hill 2 utilizing Pyramid Head to symbolize James' guilt.

[DeathTouch]

Pyramid Head does not appear in Silent Hill 3.

[BrainSyphoned]

You are probably thinking of Homecoming.

"He has since appeared in the 2006 film Silent Hill as "Red Pyramid", in the 2007 first-person shooter Silent Hill: The Arcade as a boss, and in the fifth installment of the series, Silent Hill: Homecoming, as the "Bogeyman". He has also made an appearance outside of the Silent Hill series as a selectable character in the 2008 Nintendo DS title New International Track & Field, Super Bomberman R, and was added to Dead by Daylight as a playable Killer in 2020. Positively received in Silent Hill 2 for his role as an element of James' psyche, he has been cited by reviewers as an iconic villain of the series and part of Silent Hill 2's appeal."

I do enjoy playing these games and most are well made. I have yet to find one that scares me. Hopefully that will change in the future.

Though I haven’t tried vr, that could be a game changer.
