When you think of the Switch, you don't think of horror. You think of Mario , The Legend of Zelda , and Kirby . You think bright colors, peppy music, and family fun. And while all those associations are strong for a reason, that doesn't mean there aren't scary games for the Switch.
If you want to play the incredible 2023 remake of Resident Evil 4 , you unfortunately need a PS5. But if you want to jump into gaming history, an updated version of the 2005 game is available on the Switch. 그것은 리메이크의 현대적인 매력을 가지고 있지는 않지만,이 문제의 사실은 Resident Evil 4가 지금까지 만든 최고의 공포 게임 중 하나라는 것입니다. Even at 20 years old, the pedigree of the original still holds up.
Like many of the games on this list, Outlast is a horror game. But it distinguishes itself by being a psychological horror game as well. You play as a freelance journalist (already terrifying) investigating a psychiatric hospital, which goes about as well as you'd expect. Turns out, most of the patients want to kill you, and the hospital has definitely not put much money into lighting. As such, expect jump scares out of this one.
Ever want to check out an indie Taiwanese horror game? Red Candles' brilliant and thought-provoking Detention is your chance. The game is set in the 1960s when real-life Taiwan was ruled by martial law. The game focuses on two students trapped in a school during a typhoon. Detention is a 2D side-scroller that relies on (and excels in) creating a vibe using freaky atmospheres and freaky music. This is the kind of horror game that builds up slowly, relying on that ever-growing feeling of dread accumulating in your chest.
When you think of a horror game series, chances are the first title that pops into your head is Resident Evil . Unfortunately, the Switch is not where you go for the optimal collection of Resident Evil games. That would be the PS4 or PS5. Still, the Resident Evil: Revelations Collection is well worth your time. The story takes place shortly after Resident Evil 4 . You'll definitely get the survival horror fix you crave, plus the option to try out a Raid Mode for pure action.
Before Polish studio Bloober Team went on to make the remaster of Silent Hill 2 , they had a whole library of horror games behind them. And of those, Observer is arguably the crown jewel, a sci-fi horror game that will deeply imprint itself on your mind. You play as a police detective in Krakow, Poland in 2084, who can interrogate people by hacking into their brain implants. As an additional bonus, the protagonist is played by Rutger Hauer, of Blade Runner fame.
Darkwood is an indie game that takes survival horror from the top-down perspective. Its setting is just as interesting, transporting players to a mysterious forest somewhere in Soviet-era Poland. Darkwood는 또한 낮/야간주기에 주목할 만합니다. 하루 종일 밤에 오는 불가피한 맹공격에 대한 은신처를 탐험하고 거래하고 준비하십시오. 이것은 또한“Zombie Pandemic”장르를 취하는 것입니다. 여기서 숲에서만 잡힌 신비한 전염병은 생존자를 괴물로 바꾸고 있습니다.
Amnesia is a puzzle-driven survival horror series, primarily from Swedish indie developer Frictional Games. 기억 상실 컬렉션은 원래 2016 년 PS4에서 스위치에 포팅되기 전에 출시되었으며, 시리즈에는 Dark Deccent, Justine DLC 및 돼지 용 기계의 3 가지 주요 제목이 포함되어 있습니다. If you've ever wanted to explore a creepy, old, haunted European castle, this one's for you. Amnesia offers an eerie soundtrack, creepy sound effects, and actual scares—so much so, it's arguably the scariest game on the Switch.
Usually, games that are based on films or TV tend to be a little disappointing. Alien: Isolation , a sequel of sorts to the 1979 classic film, is a very notable exception. You play as Ripley's daughter, sneaking around enemies in an eerie space station. The aptly named Isolation amps up its survival horror with its wonderfully nerve-wracking stealth mechanics. Even without the Alien name to turn heads, this would be an incredible game. And it's undoubtedly one of the best scary ones on any system, not just the Switch.
What's the only thing better than Little Nightmares ? Its sequel.
Both entries are quickly-beloved puzzle adventure games. 2D 및 2.5D 관점을 변경하면 게임은 진정한 플랫 포머는 아니지만 분명히 그 느낌을 가지고 있습니다.이 느낌은 공포 게임에서 매우 독특합니다. There's a lot about the Little Nightmare series that feels unique and fresh. And rarely does a game look this beautiful while being able to be quite this freaky. While both entries in the series are fantastic, common opinion holds that Little Nightmares II is even better than the first entry.
Limbo is a puzzle platformer whose unshakable eeriness lies in its minimalism. Crafted by Danish indie studio Playdead, Limbo is a true 2D side-scroller. It's black-and-white, its sound design is horrifyingly minimal and ambient, and its story is largely up to the player's interpretation. Hell, its protagonist is simply known as “the boy.”
림보는 공포에 대한 접근 방식에서 진정으로 교묘하며 많은 검토 자들이 영화 누아르 및 표현주의와 같은 다른 형태의 미디어의 움직임과 비교할 수있게합니다. It's a unique and memorable horror gaming experience unlike any other.
