2021 saw the release of some of the goriest horror video games yet. Iconic titles like Tormented Souls and Resident Evil 4 VR kept gamers attached to their consoles. We expect more developers to release better and more chilling games this year.
Plenty of productions are waiting in line to hit the gaming market, but only the best can stand the test of time. Here are our top five most anticipated horror video games that are worth watching out for.
Evil Nun: The Broken Mask
You get dropped off at boarding school, wave your folks goodbye, hoping to enjoy a new adventure. Shockingly, you encounter sad faces eager to exit the school because of an evil nun that seeks to punish the children using a hammer.
What do you do? Her blazing red eyes and shrill laughter are enough to send you scampering into the unknown just to find safety. Luckily, you get to solve puzzles and creep around to stay out of Sister Madeline’s way. Are you up for this challenge?
Martha Is Dead
Deep in the dark days, during the war between Germany and Italy, many deaths happen, but a mysterious one takes the center of this game. Martha is found dead, drowned in water, and there is a lot of speculation about the events that led to her demise.
You work as a self-proclaimed investigator to find out what transpired and who is responsible for the loss of the woman’s life. Brace yourself for the tragedy because the murderer will not let you get to the bottom of the matter without a scratch.
Initially, the game was to be released in 2021, but a few hiccups forced the publishers to push the release date to Feb 2022.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong
The old folklore about vampires mingling with human beings comes to life in this game. Deep in the dungeons of darkness, vampires have found a new habitat among humans. The powerful sect known as Camarilla uses the technique of masquerading as people to avoid any suspicion or revelation of their true identity.
The vampire genre already has a significant following, and it’s no secret that Vampire: The Masquerade will continue to build on that following, as it did with its previous game, Bloodlines. Aside from that, the genre continues to spawn more video games, films, TV series, and even online casino games, as this bet365 review outlines. And at the heart of this casino are vampire slots like Blood Suckers, Vampire Senpai, and Vampire Princess of Darkness, among others.
GhostWire Tokyo
Tokyo has two beautiful sides; the modern city with skyscrapers and up-to-date technology, and the old villages with the ancient patterns and designs. The beautiful scenery keeps you hooked to the city, but darkness lurks around the corners.
People seem to be going missing mysteriously now that the city is infested with unusual visitors from an unknown location. Worse still, you get to encounter supernatural entities every so often. The kick is that there are both good and evil supernatural beings, so you have to have a keen eye to decipher who is who. And while you solve the mystery, ensure that you do not become a victim of the already unsolvable puzzle.
Daylight 2: Stay Human
Zombie-based games are always exciting since you get to experience a world with half-dead, half-alive human-like creatures. Daylight 2 takes you to this realm, where you have to outrun these creatures to stay alive. Stacking up on armor and ammunition, staying tucked in the safe havens, as well as staying in groups will go a long way in keeping you secure.
A head start that also gives you the advantage over the zombies is that they are pretty passive during the day, so be tactical and fight when the enemy is at their weakest.
