13 Horror Video Games To Play Before You Die

5. Bioshock

Long serving as inspiration for a whole host of sci-fi horror games in its wake, Bioshock is a cultural phenomenon - painting its underwater city with art deco design and lumbering enemies that are as fascinating to examine as they are to fight. The story is one that follows Jack, who has been stranded in the city of Rapture after his plane crashed into the ocean. There, he discovers a genetic material called ADAM that grants him the use of superpowers, and which seems responsible for the decline of this strange society under the waves.

Home to Big Daddies, Little Sisters, and the crazed Splicers, Bioshock is a creepshow to wade through, taking inspiration from its spiritual predecessor System Shock in the process. Cyberpunk horror at its finest, Bioshock is a must play for those unfamiliar with its extraordinary gameplay.

If anything, dear reader, I'd just ask nicely. Would you kindly?
