9 Nerve-Wracking Video Game Moments You Barely Made It Through

3. The Whole Thing - P.T.

PT was a masterclass in horror. And whilst it's undeniable that it was one of the scariest games ever to be made, one thing it excelled at was building tension. The game constantly built it up leaving you on edge constantly. There weren't any standout moments because the whole thing was constantly intense.

The problem was, the tension was rarely alleviated. With only a few jumpscares, the game constantly built on that atmosphere, but almost never paid off. Not only was it scary, but it had you always on edge, wondering just if you would finally get that moment of respite from the ramping pressure.You almost never did.

Making it through PT without needing multiple breathers is a triumph indeed.
