Essentially this is a John Woo movie smushed together with turn of the century Asian horror and while you can be cynical about that, it doesn’t stop F.E.A.R. is almost a laughably typical mishmash of pop culture movie concepts wedded to a digital form. The way shadows fall on the wall, the manic, hushed rambling of the Splicers (humans mutated via self-inflicted genetic monkey business), and the guttural roar of an enraged Big Daddy are just some of the intimidating and scary moments that dog you as you delve deeper into the still-decaying city.īioshock may well be remembered for its twists and quotable dialogue, but Rapture is what makes it one of the most compelling PC horror games of all time. So much of the story behind this decadent city’s fall from grace can be found in its design, and the result is a fascinatingly macabre tragedy that unfortunately for you, isn’t quite done yet. Bioshock is a game that expertly builds its otherworldly atmosphere with one of the most iconic locales in video game history the undersea city of Rapture. The setting is a key point in building the right atmosphere. A mix of old and new(ish) that represents the best examples of where horror has been shaped on PC. So here’s the PC horror games that most deserve to be in any collection. There’s so many to choose from and making a condensed list is far harder for PC than it is any other format, but damn it we’ll try!

Some have been pioneers, some have flipped the established rules on their head, and some have brought horror games and the medium itself to a whole new level. PC gaming, due to its open, ever-evolving platform, has the benefit of the largest video game library around and naturally, that means it’s home to some of the best, most diverse, PC horror games of all time.
