If I have to choose between one evil and another, I’d rather choose the worst option.
Greetings Gamers and welcome back to top 10 gaming, i'm your host connor munro and I am
a Laird.
If you're new here be sure to smash like and subscribe for daily gaming content, and tell
me below your favorite game of the past decade.
10 years is a long time, so what were some of the best games over those years that will
give you the heeby jeebies?
That’s what we’re exploring with today’s list of the Top 10 Scariest Games of The Last
Decade.
Roll the intro.
#10 Symptoms Symptoms is an indie game we played on the
channel and in all honesty it terrified me.
The jumpscares were constant and I never really knew what was coming next.
The game jumpscares you as soon as you start the damn thing, then it just gets worse from
there.
With gross noises and monsters hidden in the shadows.
I ended up not being able to find what I had to do next, but I think this was because I
was unwilling to mess with the tv again because I was so scared.
If this game had been any worse the video would not have been that long and this game
is honestly the reason I don’t trust anyone anymore.
Especially if you’re sitting in a dark living room, with a secret door, and the tv off,
or if it’s on it only plays static.
That just triggers me.
This whole game triggers me.
Why can’t I just play minecraft.
#9 Help Wanted The five nights at freddys series made a big
splash in the gaming industry over the last decade, making scott cawthon a household name
and giving matpat hours of content.
But the latest title in the series Five Nights At Freddys VR: Help Wanted is the scariest
of the bunch.
And for one simple reason, its in vr.
Sure the other games have you sitting at a desk and sitting at the computer.
But when the computer screen is literally on your face and you have no way to prevent
the inevitable jumpscare from happening you know you’re going to be shaking in your
cardboard pizza grease soaked boots.
While the graphics aren’t realistic having the jumpscare be on your face, and having
things to do all around you to prevent those scares Is going to make the game more stressful
and that will make the jump scares more effective.
I have it but I haven’t played it.
I'm genuinely terrified.
#8 Doki Doki Literature club This game disguises itself as our typical,
run of the mill dating simulator.
A book club that you join and somehow you’re the only datable one, so you make an attempt
to get with one of the various girls in the club.
However, this game is tagged with the descriptor psychological horror.
And its one to mess with your mind so bad you’ll think you’re an android.
The games gets dark, quickly.
Delving into the themes of self-harm, suicide and depression, along with a twisted main
antagonist who is slowly eliminating the completion until it’s only down to you and her.
Who are the characters you can date?
Just Monika.
I mean Natsuki, Sayori, Yuri and just Monika.
The game ends up getting more and more gruesome as you approach the end, with Monika killing
off everyone else because she wants you.
She even controls what they say.
This is a very messed up game and was a cultural hit.
Its also free on steam, meaning its just all the more accessible, especially to those who
just want a dating sim.
Play the KFC one instead.
#7 Slender The Eight Pages When this game got released in 2012 Youtube
was flooded with videos of people playing this game.
Even non-gaming channels tried their hand at collecting all the pages.
This game was terrifying.
Especially at the time, being in a dark forest, with just a flashlight and having to scower
what seemed to be an endless forest only to ultimately die in the end.
Yeah, at the end of the game after you find all 8 pages you get killed by slenderman.
But you unlock daytime mode so that’s something.
After beating daytime mode you also unlock 20 dollar mode, which plays a specific song
whenever slender is close in reference to a meme where they said you could just hand
slenderman 20 bucks and he’d leave you alone.
The game involved sprinting even though some people didn’t know.
But even with the ability to sprint the game was terrifying.
This game is really what put slender on the map when it comes to gaming and it really
is what spawned so many games based on the killer anyway.
Is slender a killer?
No clue.
#6 Until Dawn the choose your own adventure horror experience
was some pretty messed up stuff.
One guy dresses up as a killer and fake kills his friends and sometimes even causes real
ones?
Yikes.
The characters you play as can end up surviving, if you make the right choices.
However this is incredibly hard to do.
The game was released in 2015 and got itself 2 sequels.
A virtual reality spinoff called Until Dawn: Rush of blood in 2016 and a prequen called
The Inpatient in 2018.
However none of it would have been completed without the original game.
The game features a branching story so no 2 playthroughs will be the same unless you
make the same choices.
The horrific killer is later revealed to be spoiler alert, josh.
The brother of the 2 girls who went missing after a terrible prank by their “friends”.
Josh had brought them to the cabin to torment them, never knowing of the true horror that
would be inside.
#5 The Forest I love this damn game.
The forest is an open world Survival Horror game with an actual story.
You can do various things in this game, but no matter what you try.
You’ll be encountering mutants and cannibals in close quarters that will make you drop
one in your pants and nope right out of there.
This game is terrifying.
When you least expect it, a mutant is behind you.
Whether it’s a giant arm monster, or a monster with 6 legs and 4 boobs.
Or what’s called a cowman.
Who will send you flying around the world but you’ll still land on the island?
Yeah that powerful.
Or the horrible cannibals who will consume the corpses of their fellow cannibal, but
I feel like they have an agreement that when they’re dead everyone has permission to
eat their corpses.
I mean to be fair you can as well, and does that make you a cannibal?
Are they the same species or are they basically wendigos?
Oh and don’t forget that you can wear the flesh of the mutants as armor.
And it’s the strongest in the game.
Yeah.
Its still scary as hell though.
#4 Duck Season Duck hunt is the demonic version of duck hunt.
We all wish we could have shot that damn dog and got his mocking arse out of the way.
What if we could do that?
What if you did shoot the dog.
What would he have done to you?
This game answers that easily.
Duck season is a hunder with ridiculous graphics.
Luckily it’s summer vacation and mom just surprised you with a one day rental of it.
Unfortunately as you binge play it, it becomes apparent that all is not right with Duck Season.
This is the only other Vr title on the list and it is all about surviving.
With around 7 endings this game has quite a bit of replay ability.
Especially since it includes another 7 mini games that you can play aside from the main
one.
After shooting the dog this cryptid will come out of the game and kill you and your family.
Well your mother, since your dad isn’t around.
Where could he be?
The game ends with an ultimate showdown where you have to face off against the dog in your
dark house, your mother laying on the ground dead, and the gun from Duck Hunt as your only
protection.
#3 The Evil Within 2 The Evil Within 2 is a third person survival
horror game published by Bethesda for windows, ps4 and xbox 1 in 2017 and was the sequel
to the 2014 game The Evil Within, obviously.
The gam eis typically favored aside from those who criticized the story and characters, due
to its improved visuals, atmosphere and gameplay.
The game also features a crafting system, where players gather resources in order to
craft new items and ammo.
They can craft at anytime, but doing so at a workbench will cost less resources.
If that’s not good enough for you, in japan it’s known as PsychoBreak 2.
This game will literally break your psyche and turn you mad!
It will unlock the evil within too.
Was that good or was that too much!
Either way everyone has evil within them, this game just shows you how to unleash it.
And the monsters are just horrific and disgusting.
#2 Paratopic This low polygone game follows 3 different
story lines, all with a chilling story.
Smuggle contraband VHS tapes across the border.
For those of you who don’t know what a VHS tape is, this is a picture of one.
I know, so old.
So vintage.
Discover the remnants of an illicit industry, and prepare for your next assassination.
This is paratopic, an atmospheric retro-3d horror adventure that feels like the worst
kind of cursed fever dream.
Are there different kinds of those, or is there only the one?
Having one of the best soundtracks of any game from 2018, as declared by FACT magazine,
this experimental first person horror game has you cutting between various detailed stories.
The game takes 4 minutes to play casually, and has over an hour of wonderful, dark ambient
music to keep you on edge without pushing you over it.
This makes for a wonderful horror game in and of itself.
Mix that with the confusion of 3 different stories and you’re in for one hell of a
game.
#1 Silent Hills PT You knew this would be here.
The Silent Hills playable teaser was a first person horror experience.
With gameplay similar to that of Avarice, a game we played here on the channel.
With this game the playable area is an L shaped corridor with 2 rooms adjacent to it along
with some stairs that brings you back to the corridor, creating an endless loop.
Each time you’re back something new changes.
Whether it be a mutant baby in the toilet, or a kid in the freezer.
The whole time you keep encountering a ghost named Lisa, who if she catches you has a chance
of triggering a terrible jump scare that will have you shaking for weeks, while sending
you back to the beginning.
After you complete the final puzzle and escape, the game reveals it was a playable teaser
for the next Silent Hill series of games, called Silent Hills.
It was removed however and unless you do some, less than moral things you wont be able to
get your hands on it.
Unless someone got it before they removed it.
But my lord this game is horrific.
The kid in the freezer oh my lord.
