Rating: 85

One of the newer titles to appear on this list, Amnesia: The Dark Descent is renowned nowadays for being unrelentingly terrifying.

An indie hit when it first launched, Amnesia won rave reviews for its horror elements which combine an ominous, foreboding atmosphere with puzzle solving and monster dodging, modernising a formula put in place by Resident Evil years before.

Played entirely from a first-person perspective, Amnesia is definitely one to 'enjoy' late at night in complete darkness.
