Author Topic: Action Horror Games  (Read 138 times)

Anyone know of any good ones? Whenever I try to google "action horror" it keeps giving me lists of "survival horror" games, which I feel aren't the same.

What I think of when I say Action Horror:
Dead Space
Resident Evil 4
Doom 3
Atomic Heart (At the start, anyway)

Anyone know any similar games that I could give a go? I want a game that tries to be scary but also lets you kill some of the monsters.

Dying Light 1/2/The Beast
Alan Wake 1 focuses more on action set pieces than horror
Bioshock 1/2 (infinite isn't really scary at all)

EDIT:
Left 4 Dead 1/2
Bloodborne

Never would've thought a soulslike would be considered a horror game

some of the bosses are quite freaky, and I nearly jumped out of my seat a couple times when an enemy attacked me from around a corner or dropped from the ceiling unexpectedly lol. I wouldn't consider it a full blown horror game like amnesia or silent hill but it definitely had my heart racing at some parts of the game. the combat is pretty good too
