4. Nosferatu - Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is so packed with secrets that it's fit to burst, with people still discovering tiny moments that heighten the immersion to this day. And as you might from the twisted minds of Rockstar, some of these experiences are completely weird.

From aliens appearing over towns, to straight-up cannibals who roam the woods at night, there's a lot to put you on edge, especially if you encounter a beautiful homage to Count Orlock from the ultimate vampire film Nosferatu. If the player follows a series of puzzling messages that are scrawled on walls around Saint-Denis, you'll eventually unlock a special marker that leads you to "The Vampire"

As you round the corner you'll find a tall, pale, and oddly dressed man drinking the blood from an innocent victim. As Arthur exchanges words with the creature, he reveals he has been alive for centuries and has been called many names. It's pretty haunting stuff, which admittedly can be undone if you simply blast him apart, but if you're not quick enough the being will slice you down in just one hit from his Ornate Dagger.

It's genuinely suprising to see the Count out and about, but it's in perfect keeping with his terrifying legacy.
