Based on a film that was based on a book,World War Zcan be played on your own or with a buddy. In fact, it’s a riot with a group of friends as this 4-player co-op, third-person shooter, is a chaotic experience when facing off against hundreds of swarming zombies. Imagine this as a linear experience that seems to always feature an arena standoff against the undead and you’ll be on the right track. It’s flesh-rippingly enjoyable.

For the first few hours,Ghostwire Tokyodoesn’t feel like a horror game. Sure, there are ghosts and spirits populating the streets of Tokyo, but there’s never an oppressive feel to the game like you’d find with a survival horror. However, as the journey through rain-soaked Japan continues more and more Yokai (spirits) begin to emerge as more and more blood is spilled to run through the gutters. This is definitely a horror, but it leans towards anime fantasy as well. The Japanese always nail horror and some of the enemies here are honestly spooky enough to keep you awake at night.
Days Gone
Days Gone
Days Goneoriginally made waves in the horror genre due to the sheer number of infected citizens crammed onto the screen at once. There seems to always be a constant burbling and ever-growing group trying to kill our biker protagonist, Deacon. Set in an open-world in the years following a pandemic, it’s up to you to travel the state as a drifter and bounty hunter defeating high numbers ofzombiesfreakers. There’s a lot to fear here, including some hilarious dialogue, but it’s Halloween, we’re only really here for the hordes of monsters.

Until Dawn
Until Dawn
Until Dawnis the first ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ horror title from Supermassive Games. It’s a game that has since spawned several sequels and spin-offs which follow a similar formula. You can treat this like a movie where you get to choose what happens to the plucky cast as things go from bad to worse for them. You may choose a character whose fate is to be slain early on, or perhaps you’ll choose options that keep them alive until the finale. Whatever happens, it will be an edge-of-your-seat experience that can be replayed several times to watch the cast live or die. Get some popcorn for this one and see if you can keep your favourite alive.
