Still Wakes The Deep
If you’re looking for a fresh and terrifying experience, Still Wakes the Deep is a must-play that many gamers love. Developed by The Chinese Room, known for its atmospheric and narrative-driven games, this horror experience takes place on a Scottish oil rig in the 1970s.
The game immerses you in a Lovecraftian nightmare as you navigate the treacherous corridors of the rig while trying to escape a horrifying supernatural entity. The eerie setting of an isolated oil rig adds to the claustrophobic tension, making every moment feel like a fight for survival.
Whether you’re a horror veteran or a newcomer, this game offers a gripping experience that can be completed in just a few hours, according to players, making it a perfect weekend binge. It is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5.
Dead Space (Remake)
Dead Space is a must for those who appreciate a blend of sci-fi and horror. The remake of 2008 Dead Space was one of the biggest releases of 2023, and the remake has reignited interest, reaching 30k concurrent players on Steam. It also hints at even more remakes, potentially making this franchise a continued hit.
Set aboard a derelict space station, Dead Space follows engineer Isaac Clarke as he battles grotesque alien creatures that have taken over the station. The game is a masterclass in creating tension, with every corner potentially hiding something that will make you jump out of your seat.
Dead Space Remake is available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and through the cloud via EA Play. It’s also available on PS5.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
If you haven’t yet experienced Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, now is the perfect time to do so. This game marked a bold new direction for the iconic series, a successful revival of the survival horror genre for Capcom, and significantly boosted its sales, shifting to a first-person perspective that amplifies the horror to new levels.
You play as Ethan Winters, a man searching for his missing wife in a derelict plantation in Louisiana, only to find himself trapped in a nightmare involving a disturbed family and unspeakable horrors.
Resident Evil 7 is a masterclass in building tension, available on Steam. Its eerie setting, disturbing enemies, and moments of sheer terror will stay with you long after you’ve put the controller down.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Windows 10/11 PC, as well as on PS4 and PS5 (outside of Game Pass).
Final Thoughts
These three titles, Still Wake the Deep, Dead Space (Remake), and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, each offer a unique flavor of horror that can satisfy any gamer’s thirst for terror. Whether you want to explore an eerie oil rig or battle aliens in deep space, Xbox Game Pass has you covered.
But don’t miss out on other standout games in the RPG, beat-em-up, and action-adventure genres, which have also fueled my passion for gaming. So, dim the lights, put on your headphones, and prepare for a weekend of unforgettable experiences.
