When it comes to any genre of video games, movies, TV or novels, arguably, nothing plays on our emotions quite like a good horror story and the PlayStation 4 game that is the topic of today’s discussion is no exception.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s intense horror from the get-go, a slow-burn story, supernatural or just a pure gorefest, horror is a timeless gift that keeps on giving. However, for me personally, as much as horror is my favouritemoviegenre, when it comes to video game portrayals, nothing scares me more.

Don’t get me wrong, a well-written and produced ghost story in a movie will often have the hairs standing up on the back of my neck but there’s something extra special when it comes to the level of immersion that only video games can offer. For example,Ridley Scott’sAlien(1979), one of the best sci-fi horrors ever and its Xenomorph creature is one of the most iconic and scariest in cinematic history.
