The Walking Dead

Zombies are trying to break through a boarded-up window. In the early seasons of Telltale's The Walking Dead, the game did an exceptional job of echoing the comic book franchise. The world is mostly overrun by zombies, and you are a survivor among a small group, struggling to keep a child named Clementine safe from the relentless undead. Your decisions have significant repercussions, shaping the course of entire seasons, demonstrating Telltale’s branching narrative format at its best.

Dead Space 1, 2, and 3

Issac is aiming a large sci-fi weapon at a zombie in a space station. The original Dead Space trilogy, available on Game Pass, takes heavy inspiration from Aliens. You're trying to survive on colossal spaceships infested by zombie-like necromorphs, constantly being frightened. While Dead Space 1 and 2 are fan favorites, Dead Space 3 also deserves a chance. Although it doesn't live up to the first two games, it's still a chilling journey through a snowy nightmare.

The Evil Within 1 and 2

A man with a lantern and a gun is staring at the camera while a large monster lurks behind. Both The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2 are terrifying survival-horror games that may remind you of Resident Evil 4. This is no accident. Shinji Mikami, who directed several Resident Evil games including RE4, directed the first game and was an executive producer on the sequel. Like RE4, Evil Within combines third-person action with scary scenarios, creepy locations, and puzzles.

Doom 3

A demon is screaming at the camera while another, larger demon stands in the background. Doom 3 has its detractors, but as a standalone game, it's fantastic. Its use of shadows and darkness is exceptional, concealing demons and other threats. Doom 3 also boasts some unsettling (in a good way!) sound design. To really get a scare while playing Doom 3, the VR port of the game released on PSVR earlier this year comes highly recommended.

Inside

Bodies are floating upward in Inside's surreal underwater scene. Inside, Playdead’s successor to Limbo, was an even bigger success with their Shadowy Child Stumbles To The Right format. The game tells the cryptic story of a child trying to escape a gruesome facility, while being gruesomely killed by unexpected attacks.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

An image shows characters from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game. While it might not be the scariest game on Game Pass, the multiplayer-focused The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is still worth checking out for its creepy vibes and fast-paced matches. It’s especially enjoyable if you’re a fan of the original film, as you’ll appreciate the attention to detail in the maps. Just don’t get too distracted or you might get sliced by a chainsaw.

The Amnesia Franchise
