1. Dead By Daylight

Dead By Daylight will have you wearing brown trousers every time you play it.

The gameplay centres around five players - four will be the survivors and one will be chosen at random to be the killer - and you must fight or sneak your way to freedom.

Several games have tried to copy this formula, such as Friday the 13th and Dead Realm, but Dead By Daylight is still firmly in place as the king of its genre.

Updates and DLC have seen the number of killers in the game shoot from three at launch to nineteen, all with different ghastly appearances and abilities.

There are also some amazing cameos, including Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Bubba Sawyer and the Demogorgon just to name a few of the Hollywood horror icons on offer.

As the survivors, there are two ways to escape any of the fourteen gorgeously designed realms: reactivating the generators or locating the secret trap door. One thing that is absolutely required though is that you work together.

If you don't, there's a meat hook waiting for each of you.

There is also some fantastic lore laced throughout the world of Dead By Daylight that links all of the events and killers together.

Grab your friends and pray you make it out alive.
