The Darkness

Dread and tension

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Lavish presentation

Puzzles and brain teasers

A survival horror throwback to early Resident Evil with fixed camera angles, intricate puzzles and scarce ammo. You guide Caroline through a decaying mansion full of secrets and grotesque creatures.

Twisted Tower

Dread and tension

A horror shooter set in an abandoned 1950s theme park, where you blast twisted fairy-tale mascots, solve puzzles and survive traps. Along the way you uncover dark secrets from your past.

Alan Wake

Lavish presentation
