(3DV) 'TOP 5' Series - Genre: HORROR/PSY-HORROR (Suggestion Thread)
  1 / 2    
Ok so, I just finished SOMA for the second time. That 'perfect storm' of a game has left me with a good size hole in my heart. It was SO good on so many levels - I actually have what I would term as: 'Post-Perfect Symmetrically Immersive Game Deprivation in the 3rd Dimension - Syndrome' Or 'PPSIGD-3DS' for ... uh short, yeah (I'll work on that later). In any case, having played the likes of: SOMA The 'Amnesia' Series AI The Walking Dead Nightmare House 2 The FEAR series* I was wondering what you all had, in your experience, kept your senses reeling and your heart beating, in the form of a 3D Horror Game/series that you would consider as 'Must Plays.' The titles above serve as a reference to what I have played and enjoyed in said fashion, as well as my own entry to those of you that may be looking for a few suggestions as well. Your entries don't have to be limited, either way, to 5 but please try to stay true to the genre! Of course, it nearly goes without saying that 3D MUST BE IN A PLAYABLE condition! It doesn't have to be perfect, for example, there may be some 'Unity' Titles that aren't perfect, but the game/story/graphics help to overcome a few busted shadows/reflections. Use your judgment and I thank you for helping me to find a new 'distraction' to counteract this crazy ass world we live in! ~Nutz EDIT: *I should mention, for this thread's posterity, that while the first 2 FEAR games have been 'fixed' by the community, the 3rd (and final) game remains a mess and thusly 'VASTLY' unplayable in 3D.

TriDef Ignition's FEAR 3 profile works pretty well in 3D - you may to try it. Alan Wake is another potential game in this category. The Spider Lair, one part of Metro Last Light Developer Pack DLC, is short but intense, also.

Amnesia SOMA Alien Isolation Outlast (this one scarred the crap out of me, I couldn't finish it). .. I only put in the list survival horrors, if I have a gun is not horror anymore is fun with meat. If I am to consider the ones with gun maybe should mention: Resident Evil Revelations 2, Dead Space Series, Doom 3 , Black OPS 1, 2 , hopefully 3 ZOMBIES. @helifax My wife finished SOMA before I did :D

Even though most people here probably already played the older thief games, there are some excellent fan missions including some scary missions. Almost all thief games are either at night or in a dark environment which adds some fear to all missions. Plus, the stories are often gloomy and mysterious. Here are a few missions which are particularly scary. Since most of you probably won't bother to play them, watch these walkthrough videos to see what you're missing. If you like what you see, then please try them, but don't watch too much or it will spoil the fun and fright.

The Secret World is a must play, I started almost a month ago and I'm having a blast. It's a no-subscription-required MMO set in the present day world but with a very dark Lovecraftian incursion. Now's a good time to hop in, too - they do their biggest events for Halloween, apparently.
