Read on to see our mega list of the 50 scariest games to play, and let us know in the comments if we missed any essentials! Though horror has come a long way since games like Alone In The Dark, it is important to see where the genre has come from, how it has grown since, and how diverse the scares have become.

The list below contains fifty of the best scary games of all-time, going all the way back to the 90s. Horror is here to make you question your actions in extreme circumstances and wonder if thrill-seeking is really what you are doing playing this game. Sometimes that means running like hell from the scary monster, or sneaking up behind a thug and snapping his neck. Whether you are solving the latest serial murder case or wandering about a haunted asylum, the actions of the main character will feel like your own.

Scary video games can be ultra-immersive, and that feeling of really being there makes the horror all the more adrenaline-pumping. Horror is the staple of any media and video games often take it to a level we never imagined we would love so much.
