Bloodborne

Look, Bloodborne should be on every video game list, full-stop. It might not have all the elements of a classic horror game, but what’s more macabre than slicing eldritch horrors with a scythe while wearing a tri-corner hat? FromSoftware’s fast-paced, blood-soaked one-off is creepy, brooding, and will make you scream as much as any clunky, over-the-shoulder shooter ever has. Don’t let its reputation scare you away, the environments and lore entries alone are worth the trouble.
