Ranking the Best Horror Games of 2023!

2023 is over and we can take a look at some of the best horror games of the year. Let's take a look at some of the titles that came out in 2023 and made gamers sweat to death.

1. Alan Wake 2

Maybe we can't call it a 100% horror game, but Alan Wake 2 is not only one of the best horror-thriller games of the year, but also one of the best productions. With its marvellous story, innovative gameplay and the mesmerising atmosphere we just mentioned, Alan Wake 2 is definitely a must-experience.

2. Blood West

In fact, even though it was previously in the Early Access process, Blood West, which went to full version on 5 December 2023, is an FPS game that makes players nervous with its retro theme. The production, whose sales exploded immediately after the full version and played in the first places in the Steam charts, has a really fascinating atmosphere.

3. Dead Island 2

Dead Island 2, which left a good impression on the minds in terms of horror and tension, came up with quite good mechanics. Maybe it is not the most 'scary' game on this list, but we think it deserves to be included in terms of genre. After years of turbulent development process, it was very much loved by the players.

4. Dead Space Remake

Already, when Dead Space is mentioned, the excitement is palpable. Therefore, with its Remake appearance in 2023, we couldn't help but feel the fear, right? Since its release in January, it has consistently secured top positions on various lists. Its commitment to staying true to the essence has been invaluable for players who love the series.

5. DREDGE

Originally an independent production, DREDGE may appear as a straightforward fishing simulation from the outside. However, dismissing the horror and suspense elements that arise due to its adoption of Lovecraftian themes would be a mistake. Apart from the eerie townsfolk, it is essential to note that the tension brought by its atmosphere is quite well-executed.

6. Lethal Company

Especially one of the most popular streaming games of recent times, Lethal Company stands out as one of the rare independent productions that reached more than 100,000 players in its release. You might have thought that it could be overlooked due to the abundance of successful counterparts offering a cooperative survival-horror experience, but the situation turned out not to be as you expected.

7. Resident Evil 4 Remake

Once again, a successful Remake and yet another successful Resident Evil game. Resident Evil 4 Remake easily secures its place in the category of the best horror games of 2023, managing to preserve its original gameplay while enhancing it technologically. If you want to experience moments filled with both fear and suspense, be sure to check out this game.

8. Sons Of The Forest

Sons Of The Forest, serving as a sequel to The Forest, brought along numerous records when it was released towards the end of February. Aside from being the most added to wishlists and highly anticipated game so far, on its release day, Steam servers crashed, and the store page was inaccessible for a while. If you are looking for an incredible cooperative survival-horror game to play with friends, then you are in the right place.

9. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a team-based survival-horror game, is an online game within the same framework as Dead by Daylight, featuring both villains and survivors. Within chilling maps, you will either strive to survive or ensure that your captives do not escape from your clutches!

WORLD OF HORROR, which achieves quite a successful result in terms of atmosphere, aims to present the classic horror culture of the 1980s to the player with minimal graphics. Although it can reach a disturbing horror at times, it manages to etch its name with golden letters among the best horror-thriller games of 2023.
