Makaleler Alone in the Dark

Games based on the works of writer H. P. Lovecraft have been made for decades — since the 1990s, developers have been trying to bring myths about Cthulhu, Dagon, and other Ancient Ones to the screen. Over the years, this has resulted in both forgettable tentacle-filled horrors and genuine masterpieces that carefully explore themes of cosmic dread, madness, and human insignificance. In 2026, “Lovecraftian” games continue to appear across a wide range of genres: from retro shooters and detective stories to hardcore RPGs and slow-paced psychological narratives where the main enemy is not a monster, but the mind itself.

The best horror games of all time are not just frightening experiences, but true masterpieces of the genre that keep you on edge from the first minute to the last. This list includes outstanding horror titles on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch — from cult classics of the 90s and 2000s to the best horror games of 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. You’ll find survival horror with strict resource management, psychological horror that terrifies without a single monster, horror shooters where fear goes hand in hand with action, and stealth horror where the only way to survive is to hide. When selecting the games, we evaluated not only how scary they are, but also their quality, replayability, and that lingering feeling when, even hours after turning the game off, you still want to look over your shoulder. The selected titles span different subgenres — from atmospheric indie projects to big-budget blockbusters — but they all share one thing: they leave a lasting impression.

Some particularly successful virtual entertainment titles leave a lasting impression not only on gamers but also on developers. When an excellent game pushes an entire genre forward, it sometimes sets trends for the industry, inspires studios, and becomes a model for imitation. This article will focus on such projects — those that have influenced many modern games.

The release of the next Resident Evil isn’t happening anytime soon. When it comes to Capcom projects, the company’s games typically launch about a year after their first trailer drops. But in the case of Resident Evil 9, we don’t even have a trailer yet, only official confirmation that the game is in development. That’s it. So, to help make the wait a little more bearable, we’ve put together a list of games that capture the Resident Evil spirit, along with movies and TV shows that share its eerie atmosphere.

Dün, Konami satışlardan bahsettiği Silent Hill 2 yeniden yapımını duyurdu ve oyunculara destekleri için teşekkür etti. Yayıncının bu rakamları paylaşma isteği, Japon şirketin sonuçlardan ne kadar memnun olduğunun önemli bir göstergesi. Ancak, çevrimiçi birçok oyuncu panikledi. Nasıl olur da — sadece 2 milyon kopya?
