10. Signalis
Price: €19.99 on Steam
What kind of game is this? One of the best horror games of recent years comes from Hamburg and is called Signalis. Signalis is inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill and transports that into a sci-fi setting. You awake from cryosleep and simply try to find your partner.
The story of Signalis is primarily told through small texts and posters. You live in a dystopian future and explore an old research station. However, you slowly uncover a dark secret that turns the entire reality you know upside down.
Signalis is not only visually impressive, but it also successfully reinvents the classic survival horror gameplay. The puzzles are convincing, and especially the dark atmosphere is something you rarely find in games in such a way.
So if you only want to get one game from this list, then Signalis is the perfect choice.
Even in the future, horror fans need not worry, as more titles in the genre are being released. There is also variety in setting being offered. Another horror tip from this year can be found here: A new horror game on Steam disturbs players despite simple gameplay: “My mind has melted.”
