The Inpatient

As our first and only item on the list that was actually released this year, The Inpatient makes a very strong case for why you should be paying close attention to the horror-genre in PlayStation VR games. It’s packed to the brim with jump scares, and (being the prequel to Until Dawn) has an eerie and creepy atmosphere, that you would think could only be conjured up to be this scary, in virtual reality. Horror as a genre, doesn’t need much more than a playful mix of light and shadow as well as the occasional loud sound to be effective. The beauty of this game is that it doesn’t fully rely on visuals alone. The age-old instruments of classic horror intrigue is kept alive still. For those of you who liked the SOMA game, the Amnesia franchise or any of the old Resident Evil games – this one is for you.

It looked and felt real, and with the right kind of computer – you could really immerse yourself in a realm of dragons, wizards and kings. These days, all you need is a Playstaion VR, and you can jump right into this re-booted version full of pristine visuals and a captivating storyline.

Resident Evil 7: BiohazzARD

It’s time we brought something crazy into the mix. Up until now we have presented you with an escapade of joyful or nostalgic explorations with VR. It’s time to bring the pain – let’s take a look at a blood-dripping, jump-scary horror-show that we honestly regard as the finest experience for VR yet – if you can stomach it. Resident Evil 7 follows the tale of a man whose long lost love which has been presumed dead has finally revealed herself. Without much further ado, you pack your keys and drive out to the location she has given you. The location happens to be a desolate house in the deep woods.

The destination you finally at to, is more of an abandoned prison than a house – and yet, one with a terrible history of sorrow, horror and tragedy. Resident Evil 7 is a first-person survival horror game where you must utilize every means necessary to survive the dreaded events that take place once you close the door to the abandoned house and pick up your flashlight. This is truly a remarkable game, and if you have anything positive to say about the Amnesia or FEAR-franchises, you will feel right at home here.
