1. Outlast: At number one on this list we have chosen Outlast. Outlast is a first-person survival horror game developed and published by Red Barrels. You play as Miles Upshur, a freelance investigative journalist who decides to investigate a remote psychiatric hospital laying deep in the mountains of Lake County, Colorado. Initially released on the PS4 as a free game for gold memebers, it quickly gained popularity and became notorious as being possibly the scariest game ever made. What makes this game so much scarier than the others on the list? Its simple; you don’t get to fight back. In Resident Evil, or other survival horror games you defend yourself with guns or melee weapons as you cling on to life. In Outlast however, your only way to survive is to run. As a journalist you start the game without any weapons so your only options are to run and hide when an enemy has spotted you. To make things worse, most of the game is very dark requiring you to use your video-recorder to have temporary “night-vision.” That only lasts as long as you have batteries to charge it, which can be found by exploring the hospital. One of the greatest things about this game, and why it received number one on our list is not only that it is probably the scariest game of all time, but that it the amount of gameplay you get out of it is tremendous. If you explore the game could easily last you up to 30 hours of content. Along with the hundreds of times that you will die just trying to figure things out, this game is sure to not only scare the hell out of you, but makes your money worth the ride.
