Can anyone suggest some good atmospheric horror pc games? Don't mention Bioshock(already finished it), System Shock 2(won't run on my computer), Doom 3(I thought it was rubbish) or F.E.A.R.(Generally meh, in my opinion).
Atmospheric Horror PC games.

Oh, right, forgot to say not to mention them either. Already have the first 2, haven't finished them yet. I like them, but its a kind of, only when I feel like playing them sort of thing.Mr.Tea said:
Metro 2033... It's more FPS than horror, but it does have horror elements and is very atmospheric.
Buy Half Life 2, and download the Mods Dear Esther and Nightmare House.
Dear Esther gets under your skin, while Nightmare House just fucks with you.

Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines. The combat is flawed, it has tons of bugs, but the atmosphere is amazing. It also has a huge community working to mod the game so the bugs and combat may even be fixed.
Stalker:Shadow of Chernobyl +(Clear Sky,Call of Pripyat),Metro 2033 are my choices for best atmosphere in horror games.
I'll mention whatever the hell I want! But.. Silent Hill mostly. I played that game on my playstation once. I don't think I ever turned it back on.
Survival Horror has mostly flourished on consoles, however if you can find them there were PC versions of the Silent Hill Games, "Homecoming" being the only one that is still generally availible (and downloadable from STEAM) despite some very mixed (shall we say) reviews it was actually okay, I played it on the 360 though.Wrathchild231123 said:
You've also got "Call Of Cthulhu: Dark Corners Of The Earth", the "Manhunt" games (from Direct 2 Drive), "Clive Barker's Jericho" (Could have sworn I saw a PC version) and if you want to dig through abandonware sites and such and tryin and get old software to work there are "Legacy: Realm Of Terror", "Elvira 1 & 2", "Waxworks", and "Clive Barker's Undying".
Then there are probably 30 bajillion adventure games with a horror theme ("Shivers", "Scratches", "John Saul's Blackstone Chronciles", etc...) though those probably aren't the type of game your looking for.
My bad. I actually thought this PC version I borrowed from a friend years ago was actually an official release. A little research proved me wrong, it's a bootleg.sinclose said:
I appreciate your short review, unfortunately I am a massive Silent Hill whore and sooner or later will own every version of every game ever released on the market, plus all the merchandise. Even that lame-ass pocket-radio which is just your regular radio with the Silent Hill 3 logo on it. I'm also expecting a Red Pyramid dildo, Konami. No, I don't intend to use it.sinclose said:
But I get the fact that a combat-based game is not Silent Hill. I think the same. I'll also keep in mind your tip that the game is closer to the movie (which I actually liked, good atmosphere, even if story was lacking) than to the other games. Need to get into the right mindset for the game.
Out of Hell.
I challenge anyone to find a game more terrifying and atmospheric than that game. The first level is a bit slow but damn does it get to you. I still haven't got past the 3rd level because I'm a little girl apparently when it comes to horror games
