10 Upcoming Horror Video Games You've Been Sleeping On

While some people out there might not class Dark Souls as a true out and out horror game, I know for a fact that the overall gothic tones and sheer brutality have made me squeal much in the same way the Xenomorph did in Alien: Isolation. So forgive an old man for expanding the definition slightly and let me tell you why Mortal Shell is going to get you all very hard indeed when it drops in 2021.

On the surface, this might look like another Dark Souls clone, in that it has big beefy combat, brutal enemies, and boss fights coming out the backdoor. However, the moment that you actually PLAY this, is the moment you realize they couldn't be further apart.

Here, Mortal Shell offers you the chance to harden into stone to tank incoming attacks, which allow you to launch your own counter strikes, and even stun enemies as they bounce off your sheer heft. This coupled with a brilliant body-switching mechanic and of course, SUPER oppressive tones means it's another bleak and life draining game which will likely cause us much happiness and offer great reward for taking down the horrible enemies within.
