10 Scariest Video Games Of The Decade

11. Honourable Mention: P.T. (2014)

If it were up to the powers that be, P.T. wouldn't even be on this list.

I mean, realistically, it's a Playable Teaser for a game that never came out. What should rightly be sitting here in its place is of course Konami's Silent Hills. Alas, the spine-tingling vision of Lisa is all we have to know that title by, and here is where we pay our dues.

Despite being a demo, P.T. has made it onto countless 'SCARIEST GAME EVER' lists since it dropped on the PlayStation store in 2014, dangling the prospect of a new Silent Hill title with Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima at the helm in what is one of the most psychologically exhausting experiences you can put yourself through on console.

For what amounts to one corridor repeating on itself into infinity, P.T.'s immersive atmosphere, unsettling visuals, and innovative use of literally just one ghost with a bit of sick down her are overwhelmingly terrifying.

It's video game black magic used for utmost evil purposes, and just makes us all pine for what could have been. Especially now the damn thing isn't even playable more.
