20 Most Critically Adored Horror Video Games Of All Time
19. System Shock 2
Rating: 92
Often cited as one of gaming's most influential titles, it's no surprise seeing System Shock 2 this high up the list. Despite fitting into multiple genres, the horror elements of System Shock cannot be understated.
Horrific biological nightmares? Check. Dark, atmospheric environment? Double check. Malevolent AI that wants to destroy the player and taunts them at every opportunity? Well, not exactly a horror cliche but SHODAN is fondly remembered as one of gaming's most terrifying antagonists.
Spiritual successor Bioshock is also often hailed as a great horror game but for a true edge-of-the-seat experience, only the original will suffice.
