Horror games tap into the innate anxieties (both physical and existential) that are shared among people, allowing players to interact with and face their fears in a way no other medium can.

And while 2024 was host to some brand-new horror experiences that are pushing the envelope for the genre, a lot of great games were those that captured PS1 aesthetics and the greatness of the past.
