killamch89 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 When it comes to horror games, do you gravitate toward the unsettling tension of psychological horror, where fear is built through atmosphere, narrative, and mind-bending scenarios? Or do you prefer the thrill of monster-based horror, where grotesque creatures and jump scares take center stage? What makes one more terrifying or enjoyable to you?

It lingers long after, creating a haunting experience that resonates. I think both types have their merits, but I personally lean toward psychological horror as well. The fear that comes from questioning your own perception, like in Silent Hill 2 or Amnesia: The Dark Descent, tends to stick with me longer than a quick monster jump scare. That said, well-executed monster-based horror like Resident Evil or Dead Space can still deliver a unique sense of dread, especially when the creatures are grotesque and well-designed. To me, psychological horror lingers in the mind, while monster horror gets your heart racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
