A few of the games on this list are jump scare free! We take a bit of a broad view, but in general if a game scares us then it counts as horror and could turn up on the list. Whether you like gore, survival horror, text-based chills, a bit of action, or even a deck builder, this list has something for fans of all kinds of horror - including if you simply cannot stand a jump scare.
We've collected the 25 best horror games to play on PC right now, and as is fitting for how horror games have evolved over the years, it's a varied and lovely list, fit to give anyone the shivers, chills, or just a mild creepy feeling if you're not a fan of anything too hardcore. But here at RPS we love it just as much as we would our own little baby born with hooves and horns. Horror is an oft' underrated genre, if you ask us (and presumably you are, because you're reading this list).
