10 Terrifying Video Games Where You Can't Fight Back

The game that launched a thousand let's plays, Amnesia is often called the scariest game of the last generation and there is a good reason for that.

Not only do the nightmarish entities that hunt you look horrifying, but the sound design is also impeccable and playing through headphones in the dark is something all gamers should experience.

Players can do nothing against the disfigured horrors that chase them down except hope they lose their line of sight. To make matters worse the more you see them the crazier you get, adding to the anxiety whenever one appears as your screen becomes a mess of hallucinations, and you increase your chances of meeting another monster.

Even darkness is your enemy, and players must keep their lantern-lit to prevent Daniel from going insane. There are limited items to aid this, mixed with a crazy amount of physical objects you can move, which means you'll be anxiously searching every last nook and cranny hoping to find precious resources.

Amnesia understood that the more vulnerable you make the player, the scarier the experience. The end product is rightly praised as one of the most frightening gaming experiences around.
