Horror games have really made a comeback over the last few years. The indie scene crawled out from underneath the ashes of bigger AAA horror titles as it was considered once a long dead genre full of terrible and clunky games. The indie scene helped push the genre forward by going back to what made this genre great. Interesting stories, characters, and focus on psychological aspects of humanity.

Silent Hill f

The king of the horror genre has returned. While Silent Hill 2 (2024) was a fantastic remake fans were nervous about a new entry. The last couple of games came out over a decade ago and they seemed to have put the final nail in Silent Hill’s coffin. The indie scene has been chasing the nostalgia feeling of this series. From the fog laden PS1 style horror titles and the intense fear that the series’ monsters and music invoked. The series is back better than ever and feels modern while still capturing what made the series great so long ago.
