Alien isolation. Not recently just recomending it

I'm playing signals. At the moment, it seems good. From what I've played it's more trippy horror than horror horror.

I second Alien Isolation, it's still very good.

Played Amnesia Rebirth, which is pretty hated. I didn't hate it but it was obviously doing a lot of work to fill out lore for a game that I hadn't played.

Capcom's RE Engine is phenomenal on most hardware, up there with the Fox Engine. I strongly recommend every Resident Evil that has been released since 2017.

The only exception is to not pay too much for Resident Evil 3 (2020) as it's half the size as normal.

Resident Evil 2 is my favourite of the last 6 years.

After seeing the eyepatch wolf vid on it, I've been poking around with Fear and Hunger, a game that I must warn comes with every content warning under the sun, pay heed to those if you look it up. It's an 8 dollar game built in rpg maker, but it's not exactly a traditional rpg. It's more of a survival horror / immersive sim with RPG-like elements. It's super tense and nerveshredding no matter where you're at in the game.

There's this almost goofy silent-hill-esque noise that can play anywhere that seriously puts mortal terror in me because of what it signifies. It's great. It's awful. It's AWFUL. It's great.

The Subnautica and Doom (2016) games were pretty fun, although truth be told the Subnautica games made me way more uncomfortable. There's just something about being trapped hundreds of meters underwater, forced to worry about oxygen, drinking water, food, power supply, trying not to get eaten by giant creatures. I actually managed to kill a few leviathans toward the end, but it wasn't easy:

I'm usually not a fan of horror but there are a few I really enjoyed.

SOMA is worth playing for the story alone, especially if you liked amnesia since it's made by the same team.

Omori isn't a traditional horror game but it's really good, and gets really terrifying at points.

Distance is an underrated gem. It's not really horror, it's an arcade racing game, but the main campaign does some really cool stuff that I think qualifies it.

Dead Space is fantastic. I never played the original, so I'm glad this remake knocked it out of the park. It's more action oriented like Resident Evil 4, but still atmospheric enough with headphones or a good sound system.

RE7, on the other hand, gets my blood pumping the way Amnesia did when I (tried) to play.

I actually tried playing resident evil village last night. I’m not normally a horror game person and I found the lack of ability to save anywhere so I can bail pretty anxiety inducing haha. Not sure if I’ll finish it, but I’ll try my best.
