This extends to the realm of horror games, where compelling narratives, captivating characters, and innovative gameplay mechanics thrive, engrossing players in their eerie environments. Here, we delve into some of the most terrifying horror games available on the PS5 platform.

13. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” game, developed by Sumo Nottingham and published by Gun Interactive, is based on the 1974 film. It features four victims trying to escape cannibalistic foes. Players can be victims using stealth and wits to evade the Slaughter Family or play as family members seeking to stop escapes. The game has diverse environments like the family’s house, barn, and forest, each presenting unique challenges. Weapons like crowbars and axes are for victims, while the Slaughter Family wields chainsaws and cleavers.

12. Martha is Dead

This psychological survival horror game is an indie gem from Italian studio LKA. Set in the fictional town of Romalia during World War II, players control Giulia, the twin sister of the eponymous character, Martha. The game stands out for its excellent storytelling, impactful writing, and detailed visuals. Despite being devoid of traditional enemies, the game’s atmosphere, teeming with jump scares and gore, makes for a solid supernatural adventure.

11. Alan Wake Remastered

Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake Remastered brings back the psychological horror title from the seventh console generation, offering an enthralling experience. While the developers highlighted the game’s cinematic qualities, it’s the storytelling that sets it apart. The game’s use of light contrasts well with some of the darker themes explored, making it a memorable experience on the PS5.

10. The Quarry

Developed by Supermassive Games, The Quarry provides an interactive horror experience akin to playing a horror movie. While the game’s action aspect may be hands-off, fans of branching narratives and player agency should find the game’s structure appealing. Set in a summer camp, the game’s atmosphere is reminiscent of classic slasher flicks like Friday the 13th. The game also supports up to eight players, making it a must-play for horror enthusiasts.

9. Dead Island 2

After years in development hell, Dead Island 2 finally surfaced in April 2023. While the game leans more towards action than horror, it sets itself apart from other open-world zombie games with its fun gameplay mechanics. Despite a straightforward story and slightly repetitive gameplay, Dead Island 2 delivers an enjoyable experience with its solid combat and intriguing environments.

8. The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Tourist Edition

This edition of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is a standout in the realm of psychological horror games. Its stunning sci-fi world is beautifully rendered, enhancing the sense of impending doom that follows protagonist Selene throughout her journey. The game is a must-play for fans of the roguelike genre, offering an engaging yet terrifying experience.

The inclusion of ray tracing significantly enhances the game’s lighting, contributing to a more suspenseful and dramatic gaming experience.

4. Dredge

Dredge deviates from the traditional horror game format, instead taking the form of an open-world fishing game. The game’s horror elements lie beneath the water, where players encounter ungodly sea creatures. Dredge‘s fishing mechanics are surprisingly satisfying and addictive, making for an unusual but compelling horror game.
