The Best Horror Video Game: Our Face-Off Winner Revealed
Halloween has officially arrived and we are here to help celebrate by presenting you with the winners of our best horror video game face-off. Not only do you now have an idea of what terrifying games you need to play for the first time or hundredth during this spooky season, but we also now know which horror game IGN's audience believes is the best of the best.
So, after 1.2 million battles with matchups like Resident Evil 4 vs. Dead Space and Silent Hill vs. P.T., which game earned the right to be called the greatest horror game of all time? Bloody drumroll please...
Pyramid Head fans, rejoice! Silent Hill 2 has won our horror game face-off with a commanding win percentage of 88.5%. The game from 2001 that is officially getting a remake from The Medium's Bloober Team won 19,747 of its 22,308 duels, indicating that the idea of a remake was probably a great decision.
Speaking of remakes, Resident Evil 2 Remake came in second place with a win percentage of 83.8% and narrowly surpassed Resident Evil 7: Biohazard's 83.2% win percentage. We chose Resident Evil 2 Remake as our second-favorite Resident Evil game of all time recently, and it beat every game aside from Resident Evil 4, another game getting a remake.
In perhaps a bit of an upset, Resident Evil 4 only made it to #5 and was dismembered by Dead Space, which is also due for a remake on January 27, 2023.
Rounding out the top 10 were Silent Hill, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 2, Silent Hill 3, and Resident Evil Remake. P.T. placed eleventh, meaning 10 of the top 11 games were from either the Silent Hill or Resident Evil franchise. Resident Evil accounted for six spots and Silent Hill took four.
