Paranormasight is essential spooky gaming, and perfect for those who scare easily as it's closer to "unsettling" than it is outright horror.

It's a great example of the adventure genre and does things you won't find in any other game while telling a compellingly creepy tale.

Star Wars: Beyond Victory review | Loot Level Chill

Star Wars: Beyond Victory features three fun games in one, making the full use of virtual reality and all its capabilities in one gloriously nerdy package.

Dicealot review

Dicealot review | Loot Level Chill

Dicealot is easy to learn but incredibly hard to put down, with compelling risk reward moments in every battle and a Farkle around every corner.

Essential Horror Game 7:

Doki Doki Literature Club

The less said about this one the better, rest assured it's very creepy though.

Essential Horror Gem 6:

Resident Evil 7

Jack Baker is Resident Evil personified: creepy and camp in equal measure, he's terrifying while pursuing you and hilarious when he catches you.

The grungey, found-footage style is great and makes it unlike anything else in the series.

Today's Essential Horror Game:

Until Dawn!

The best video game adaptation of the "dumb teens hunted by slasher" sub-genre, Until Dawn tells 3 equally interesting and interconnected stories wrapped up in adventure where all your choices matter. Perfect for Halloween 🎃

Dreams of Another review | Loot Level Chill

Your tolerance for philosophical musings will probably determine how much you enjoy Dreams of Another, but underneath all that is still a fun game.

Essential Horror Gem No. 4:

Friday the 13th: The Game 🪓

The best of the asymmetric multiplayer franchise games, Jason materialising in front of you and punching your head off never got old. Just a shame it's no longer playable 😭

Hopefully the Halloween game fills the gap🤞🏻

Disgaea 7 Complete review: Prinny good

Disgaea 7 Complete review | Loot Level Chill

Disgaea 7 Complete is probably the best Disgaea game yet, and on the Nintendo Switch 2 it looks beautiful and runs smoother than ever.

Our 3rd Official LLC Essential Horror Game is...

ObsCure!

It's got gross monsters, it's got annoying teens, it's got Sum 41's "Still Waiting" in the opening credits - what more could you want? It's also got some high stakes as playable characters can and will die permanently 💀

King of Meat review: Grab a friend and beat it

King of Meat review | Loot Level Chill

King of Meat is a splendid way to while away the hours with a few friends as you dash through devilishly designed dungeons in a never-ending quest for fame and fortune.

Today's horror game of choice is Exit 8!

I don't really know what a liminal horror game is but Exit 8 creeped me right out.

It makes you paranoid, eyes twitching every time you walk round that first corner as you try to see what's "off" this time. Great game, play it now!

Digimon Story Time Stranger review: Gotta digitise 'em all!

Digimon Story Time Stranger review | Loot Level Chill

Digimon Story Time Stranger is definitely one of the better Digimon games I've played, but it's lacking charm and just too slow going.

No. 1 is the pant-poopingly scary Haunting Ground!

Between Fiona's inability to defend herself and the terrifying enemies stalking you like precursors to Mr X or Lady D, it's a game so scary I've never actually finished it 👀

Have you played Haunting Ground?

👻 Spooky season kicks off tomorrow 🎃

What's your go-to horror game to play on Halloween?

Can't beat a bit of Resident Evil, for me. Specifically one of the remakes (preferably 4), or RE7 🧟 Something scary but also ridiculous enough to stop me from properly shitting myself

Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny review | Loot Level Chill

Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is an entertaining action RPG for newcomers, but its performance on Switch is disappointing.
