4. Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Price: €19.50 on Steam
What kind of game is this? You suddenly wake up in a dark castle, can hardly remember anything, and must explore a nightmarish place. That’s the story in Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
Unlike in Resident Evil or Silent Hill, you cannot actively defend yourself against threats here. You must hide and avoid enemies to survive your journey through the castle.
Along with the first-person perspective and atmosphere, it creates an immersive experience that has established a genre that still persists today. Amnesia: The Dark Descent relies on puzzles and images that generate horror. Although the 3D graphics may seem a bit outdated, the atmosphere can still work today.
