One of the most recent games on the list, Animal Well may be underestimated at first glance, but make no mistake: the game is one of the best of 2024 and brings a terrifying atmosphere, despite the simple graphics.

The title puts you in control of a little ball that just came out of a flower in a platform world full of surprises and scary beings. It is up to the player to explore every corner of the place in search of answers, improvements and survival.

Resident Evil 2 Remake

If you want to play one of the most influential survival horrors of recent times, the tip is to download Resident Evil 2 Remake using PS Plus Extra and Deluxe. Available for PS4 and PS5, the game features a recreation of the iconic Capcom game with new graphics and modern gameplay.

The story follows young police officer Leon S. Kennedy and the iconic character Claire in 1998, when a zombie apocalypse begins in Raccoon City. Bringing great action gameplay, the title is the perfect entry point into the Resident Evil franchise today.

Days Gone

Of all the games on the list, we can say that Days Gone is the horror game with the least “terror”, but it is still worth mentioning. The title takes place during a zombie apocalypse, with hordes of monsters chasing protagonist Deacon St. John and his motorcycle.

Focusing on the story and a vast open world, Days Gone is a good choice for more casual players who are just getting into horror games. While the game doesn’t offer a scary experience that will give you nightmares, the title is a good option for those who enjoy exploring devastated worlds full of scary creatures.

Inscryption

The journey is a disturbing odyssey, with a dark and bloody experience. The secrets of the letters are even darker, adding a layer of mystery to the narrative.

Supermassive Games’ 2015 interactive horror game found great success in telling the story of eight friends facing a mysterious killer, cannibals and a terrifying aura in a remote cabin. Serving as inspiration for games such as The Dark Pictures Anthology series, Until Dawn will also have a film adaptation made by the director and screenwriter of “Annabelle: Creation” (2017), David F. Sandberg and Gary Dauberman, respectively.

Recently, the game also received a remake on PC and PS5, bringing improved graphics and gameplay changes, as well as new features aimed at accessibility. Still, the original version, available on PS Plus, is well worth it for those who don’t want to spend R$300.

The Dark Pictures

Following in the footsteps of Until Dawn, The Dark Pictures collection focuses on interactive horror stories featuring major TV and film stars. In different horror stories, you assume the characters’ choices and need to make decisions that indicate who should survive or die in the game.

Currently, the chapters Man of Medan, House of Ashes, Little Hope and The Devil in Me can be played with the PS Plus subscription, both on PS4 and PS5. If you enjoyed the Until Dawn experience, it’s worth downloading all the chapters in the Dark Pictures franchise.
