Artikel Clock Tower (1995)

The best horror games of all time are not just frightening experiences, but true masterpieces of the genre that keep you on edge from the first minute to the last. This list includes outstanding horror titles on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch — from cult classics of the 90s and 2000s to the best horror games of 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. You’ll find survival horror with strict resource management, psychological horror that terrifies without a single monster, horror shooters where fear goes hand in hand with action, and stealth horror where the only way to survive is to hide. When selecting the games, we evaluated not only how scary they are, but also their quality, replayability, and that lingering feeling when, even hours after turning the game off, you still want to look over your shoulder. The selected titles span different subgenres — from atmospheric indie projects to big-budget blockbusters — but they all share one thing: they leave a lasting impression.
