10 Video Games Too Scary To Finish
8. Dead Space 2
Okay...hear us out on this one. We know the original Dead Space is one of the scariest games of all time. The claustrophobia and horror of exploring the dingy, metal corridors of the USG Ishimura was an experience we barely managed to survive without wetting ourselves.
However, Dead Space 2 pushed that experience even further. While it's no longer a combination of Alien and The Thing on a plagued spaceship, we're on board a space station city called The Sprawl. Just like the Ishimura, it has been overrun with necromorphs. The game begins with Isaac being attacked and having to run for his life.
Once it gets going, it never slows down.
There are still dark, dingy areas to explore and even more variants of necromorph to deal with. This time though, there's a massive variety to locations. We get to explore the sinister, gothic Church of Unitology and the nightmarish nursery, to name just a couple of the most horrific areas.
Throughout this game's duration, you will experience some of the greatest horror that will push you to your limits. Yes, this is the game with the infamous eye surgery scene.
Thankfully, Dead Space 2 utilises a lot of action to balance out the horror, so you'll spend a lot of time running, screaming and panicking. The scares are mostly in your face, which makes it easier to deal with.
