19. The Evil Within 2
The Evil Within was one of the scariest games of 2014, so it only makes sense that Tango Gameworks would follow up with one of the scariest games of 2017. With the promise of being reunited with his allegedly deceased daughter, Sebastian Castellanos plugs back into STEM for a trippy journey down horror lane.
Rather than rehash what worked with The Evil Within, the follow-up is a more expansive game with a partially open world and far more baddies to run away from. Of the many horrors you’ll face, Anima, the singing ghost lady, is definitely among the most unsettling. This is one of many games on this list of the best PS4 horror games that benefits from great use of atmosphere and sound design, and Anima drives that point pretty hard.
The Evil Within 2 amps up the psychological terrors, ensuring gamers are never quite sure if what they’re seeing can kill them. In most scenarios, the likelihood is pretty high.
