There’s a reason why so many horror titles can be found on Steam: any chance players can get to feel their hearts fall out of their backsides and they will take it.
Just like their movie counterparts, horror games tend to attract a more niche audience but one that’s still pretty sizeable. Sure, FPS games can provide some high-speed, furious action and open world games may take your breath away when you gaze upon a new horizon, but there’s nothing close to the feeling from playing the best horror games to remind you of your mortality, whether that’s through creeping tension or some loud and proud jump scares. There’s no genre that can make you feel alive quite like the best horror games can.
