10 Scariest Video Game Enemies That Stalk You

7. Nemesis - Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

How do you build upon a game which terrified thousands of players with an onslaught of seemingly never ending Zombies? Well, you do all of that and add in an unbeatable one too.

This was the plan for the titular character who spends the majority of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis tracking you down in an attempt to end your life. Nemesis is a bio-engineered super mutant who's goal is to track down all remaining witnesses of the treacherous Umbrella Corporation experiments.

While it's entirely possible to attempt to fight Nemesis at multiple points throughout the story, your best bet is to run, and to run faster than you've ever ran before. Nemesis is a relentless machine with very little that will slow him down.

The basis on which Nemesis appears in the story depends on what choices the player takes, meaning that two play-throughs could effectively be very different. This makes replays of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis just as terrifying as the first as it constantly feels as though the AI is working against you (which it most probably is).

While the remake of Resident Evil 3 retains the truly brutish presence of Nemesis, nothing is as horrifying as the original, who left a mark with his constant stalking abilities.
