10 Best Multiplayer Horror Video Games

7. Resident Evil 5

Whilst the franchise's seventh major entry is not everyone's favourite Resi title, a lot of fun is there to be enjoyed when playing in co-op.

If anything that's how it should be played with how stupid your AI-controlled partner can be at times.

Two players can become fan-favourite Chris Redfield and his new partner, Sheva Alomar. Together you journey to Africa to retrieve a bio-weapon that is set to be sold on the black market.

Upon arriving in Kijuju, you discover that all of the local populace has been infected with Las Plagas (the same enemy types as seen in Resident Evil 4). In one cutscene, we see a man's eyes and nose bleed severely as he turns into a 'Majini'.

The way even the most basic enemies charge at you with a guttural scream will creep out even the toughest of players.

Tense firefights against the Majini are very common throughout the game. They will charge at your from around corners or group up in tight alleyways with hatchets and knives raised above head, slowly lurking towards you.

The game will also see you fight against more colossal and hideous mutations of the many virus strains found in the Resident Evil canon.

I hope you find a lot of ammo.
