I wish Alien Isolation got a ps5 upgrade
Currently playing dead space & resident evil village psvr 2 & recently finished switchback psvr2 😬
I like this list. I haven't played any of them just yet. Resident Evil Village is one I have but just haven't gotten around to it just yet. The Callisto Project sounds good too. As one of my picks it would be Medium. That is what I am playing for now. I guess you could categorize it like Visage or Madison because it's like a walking simulator like that. It's about playing someone who can see the spirit world and normal world. It also has puzzles too. It's also eerie/creepy. I love it so far. That's all I am going to say about it. I really recommend it!
Bloodborne, until dawn, re3, evil within. 2
Does the RE4 remake count as a horror game, though? If you can block a chainsaw with a knife and suplex or roundhouse kick zombies with ease it's more in the action genre than horror.
Ash, what do you have against Leon?!?! He's being murdered all over the place in that Dead By Daylight footage!
I've always wanted to play Visage. It's probably the closest thing to P.T. Silent Hills we'll ever get😭😭
I say Visage the same way as you do Ash.
The Quarry is NOT a video game ! ok?
Outlast, Visage & Tormented Souls are still near the top of my list. The atmosphere, music, enemies and game mechanics will be seared in my brain forever! 😮
SOMA!
Great shoe-horning Ash honk honk 😆
yeah nice list
i have nothing more to add to it 😅❤
Not so sure about Visage from what I've seen. I watched Ellen and Luke over at Outside Xtra play it last year for Halloween and they didn't enjoy it. It was pretty much two hours of non-stop frustration for them. Rest of the list looks great especially the DDLC mention.
Is Callisto protocol worth playing now following the updates? On offer at the moment on psn store. I own dead space and enjoy that. Thanks in advance.
Can I have some of that Dave-distraction as well?
Amnesia
Thank you for the 4K60 video. It was awesome!
Resident evil village in psvr2 is a must it's scary but also so good.
Madison and resident evil village. Re4 remake was not horror. That was just dark action
The Evil Within Series all the way❤❤
So glad Visage made this list. For me, it's one of THE best horror games out there.
The jump scare in Madison in the flooded underground part absolutely ruined me, haven't went back to it since :)) I need to finish it
Resident evil 7 and 8 on psvr2 are absolute masterpieces
Been thinking of getting The Callisto Protocol. Found it 2nd-hand for £17.99. Worth it ?
"It might taste like plastic, if you choose to bite the PS5." I audibly laughed out loud at that one.
I would say Visage and Madison are the scariest games on the PS5 so far.
I just discovered Darkwood and I can't recommend it enough. Watch the PS5 trailer, the vibe of this game is on another level
