The horror games we cover

Horror is having a moment, and it earned it. Our horror games coverage follows the new releases, the remakes reviving classic scares for modern hardware, and the indie titles proving you do not need a big budget to get under someone's skin.

We track survival horror, psychological slow-burns and the co-op frights that turn a scary night into a group event. When a genre highlight drops or a beloved series comes back, we cover it honestly, including whether the scares actually land or just the marketing did.

Horror threads we follow

• New releases: the scares worth staying up for
• Remakes: classic horror rebuilt for today
• Indie horror: small teams with big ideas
• Co-op frights: the games best played with friends

Indie studios drive a lot of the genre, so our indie game news overlaps often. Atmosphere matters, and the right setup helps, which is where our best gaming room lighting and best gaming monitors guides come in. The games desk covers the rest.
