10 Incredible Games To Get During Epic’s Giant Halloween Sale

Remedy Entertainment’s long-awaited sequel to the original cult classic was worth the wait. One of the best games of 2023 and one of the best horror games ever made, Alan Wake 2 is a triumph of storytelling and game design. This is maybe the perfect game for Halloween, and you can also grab its equally exceptional DLC for half off during the sale.

OK, so you’ve played Alan Wake 2. How about the original? The cult classic isn’t as action-heavy as its sequel but the Stephen King and Twin Peaks-inspired mystery of Alan Wake still stuns thanks to strong storytelling from the folks at Remedy.

What could be more fun than running around trying to kill your friends (in a video game)? Not much. Dead by Daylight is perfect for a night in with friends (lights off, of course). The game lets you live out your horror movie dreams and prove that you could actually escape the crazed killer.

The only connection to Halloween that I can think of is that a lot of people like to dress up as Spider-Man. That’s a good enough excuse to buy the best superhero game since Arkham City.

There’s always a lighthouse and it’s always a good time to play the BioShock trilogy. While it may not hit as hard as it did when originally released in 2007, the immersive FPS that kicked off the series is still impressive thanks to its unparalleled atmosphere that brings players into a utopia underwater gone wrong. BioShock 2 might be even better than the first. BioShock Infinite is also part of the collection.

The crown jewel of PlayStation is available on PC and you really shouldn’t miss it. The Last of Us tells a wonderfully executed story led by powerhouse performances from Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson as Joel and Ellie. Part 1 remakes the game, meaning it’s never looked better.

For a while Returnal was the best thing about owning a PlayStation 5. The third-person shooter roguelike stunned thanks to its tight gunplay, impressive visuals, and addictive loop. Uncovering the many secrets of Returnal never gets old, which is good since you’ll die a lot on the way to the game’s ending.

There are a lot of amazing indie Metroidvanias out there, but none are more fit for Halloween than Blasphemous 2. Steeped in imagery of Catholicism, the game pulls on threads of religious trauma and violence and makes for a visually stunning adventure full of blood.

Jackbox remains the best party game to play with friends thanks to its ease of use and wealth of minigames to choose from. I’d suggest picking up Party Pack 4 so you can play Fibbage: Enough About You and Monster Seeking Monster, but the first nine packs are all included in the sale.

Imagine a BioShock-like game designed by artist H. R. Giger. That’s Scorn. The survival horror shooter is a gross, fleshy experience that unnerves you at every turn. Which is great! Fans of Alien should especially enjoy this unique experience.
