these hidden horror gems need some more
love hey everyone I'm Ricky with
WatchMojo and today we're counting down
our picks for the top ten
underrated horror games
[Music]
for this list we'll be looking at a
handful of criminally underrated horror
games that you'll definitely want to
play let's see who's lurking behind
number ten put that damn broom if you're
looking for more Horror goodness why not
head over to mojo TV the new TV and
mobile app where we've been adding all
your watch mojo favorites that we can't
show on YouTube check the link in the
description below or find it on your
favorite app store number 10 lone
survivor
[Applause]
there aren't many 2d games that do
horror well while lone survivor does
have a few shortcomings he does more to
make up for it you take control of an
unnamed man who wakes up to find the
city infested with zombie like creatures
from there you'll have to find other
survivors and figure out just what in
the hell happened
while lone survivor doesn't hone its
horror as strongly as it probably should
have it compensates with a unique and
bizarre story sure the game is beatable
within a night or two but the five
different endings are more than enough
reason to play it again
number 9 ill bleed
[Music]
ill bleed is certainly one of the more
bizarre experiences on this list as eric
oh you must rescue your friends from a
horror theme park that's divided into
six stages each bringing its own unique
set of objectives at the time of its
launch critics had a major problem with
the game's control and camera however
players managed to have gotten a lot of
enjoyment out of ill bleed
due to its multiple endings and cheesy
b-movie dialogue if this sounds like a
game for you we've got some bad news
this was a Dreamcast
exclusive hope you already got one
laying around otherwise this might be
hard to find yeah if we can manage to
get through the whole part that is no
sweat I'm game if you are
number eight Silent Hill for the room
when discussing the best Silent Hill
games the first three games almost
always come up but what about the fourth
while Silent Hill foresaw a mixed bag of
critical scores out launched mostly due
to string a bit from the series formula
it received praise nevertheless for its
unique approach its consistent tension
challenging puzzles and haunting imagery
I wonder if I came out this way it also
implemented a few improvements to the
series such as tighter controls and a
better combat system it may not be as
nonlinear as previous titles but Silent
Hill 4 was something to terrify
newcomers and veteran players
number seven until dawn rush of blood
[Music]
are you a fan of developers supermassive
games are you looking for a VR
experience that will make your spine
tingle or scare you out of your pants
then have we got a title for you
[Applause]
rusha blood puts players in a
rollercoaster where they can view
frightening environments while fending
off psychotic bloodthirsty killers one
might shy away from it being another VR
shooting gallery but what makes rush of
blood so special is its presentation and
the experience is way better with
headphones plugged in just make sure you
take breaks if you find yourself getting
too scared number 6
zombie u aka zombie
given how common zombie games are we
can't blame you for not giving zombie a
go after all it was a Wii U launch title
although there's more to zombie than
meets the dangling eyeball the game
focuses a bit more on survival and
roguelike elements players will have to
complete tasks to maintain their safe
house while looking for a cure to bring
an end to the zombie apocalypse there's
just one problem if you die your
character becomes a zombie and your next
survivor will have to kill them to
retrieve your inventory it may seem like
a slower paced game compared to other
titles but zombie has a lot going for
itself
number 5 observer that's your condition
I really don't feel comfortable talking
about it before Bluebird team gave us
the surprisingly remarkable Blair Witch
game in 2019 they introduced their own
original horror game observer this
psychological horror puts players in the
shoes of Daniel Mazursky a detective who
can hack into people's brain implants
with a doodad called The Dream Eater
oh and he's played by Rutger Hauer of
Blade Runner Fame whereas most horror
games will focus on hunting the player
observer is more focused on its puzzles
and stories and it does them well
between how is acting and the games
eerie music observer will do just enough
to possibly keep you awake at night
number four Spooky's jump-scare mansion
[Music]
say hello to the cutest horror game ever
made formerly known as Spooky's House of
jump-scares players explore a massive
maniacal mansion that holds more than a
thousand floors of terror adorable
monsters may try to scare you as you
creep down narrow passages and you may
find yourself face to face with
creatures based on video game myths of
course Bend round is referenced what
makes the game so exhilarating is the
chase as you'll find yourself mashing
the Run button using up every bit of
your stamina as you eyeball how many
floors you have left before the next
checkpoint oh and it's free on Steam or
you can pay ten bucks for the HD
renovation number three the suffering do
prison scare you do abandon jails and
decrepit penitentiaries make you
uncomfortable then you may not make it
to the end of the suffering set in a
fictional penitentiary off the coast of
Maryland players assume the role of tork
a murderer who has been put on death row
for slaying his ex-wife and children I
can understand a guy killing his old
lady buddies kids one earthquake later
and Tork finds that mysterious creatures
have murdered almost every guard and
inmate in the prison with its brilliant
sound design and macabre atmosphere the
suffering was one of the best overlooked
titles of the sixth generation
number two the thing considering this
game came out at a time where movie
tie-in games were utter garbage this
sequel to the 1982 cult classic film of
the same name was more than a pleasant
surprise
as Captain Jeff Blake you command a team
of US Special Forces as you explore
outpost 31 and hunt down the thing
[Music]
however you must maintain your team's
trust if you want them to follow orders
the higher their fear or mistrust is the
more likely they are to believe that you
are the thing and they will gun you down
the thing found enough critical and
commercial success to get a sequel but
unfortunately it got canned in mid
development after computer artworks went
under in 2003
