The popularity of "Resident Evil 4 Remake" continues to break the ground, and "Silent Hill 2 Remake" is also highly anticipated. Although there was no famous classic remake last year, a lot of fresh blood has emerged in the horror game field. Although horror games are relatively niche, there are still a group of loyal fans. In addition to these two well-known masterpieces, today we will introduce 10 2022 Steam platform horror games. If there are works that you have not yet entered the library, you might as well take this opportunity to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. Without further ado, let's start right away!

>>>"Going into the back room"

English name: Inside the Backrooms

Release time: June 21, 2022

Steam review: especially positive (25,980, 85%)

Last year, the MVP in the horror game circle was a back room theme. This type restored the strange and complex floor characteristics. As people who are separated from reality or "cards appear in the real world", we don't know where we came from, where we are, and how to get out of trouble when we first entered the game. As the game progresses, the strange characteristics of different floors stimulated every fragile nerve.

"Deep into the Back Room" is essentially a first-person 4-player puzzle game. When you think about it carefully, there is not much threat in the process, and even jump scar is used very restrainedly. But the yellowed wallpaper, the smell of the carpet and the buzzing fluorescent lights together form an extremely strange atmosphere, and even if you turn on the blackmail with your friends, you will feel fear in your heart. There are 6 different monsters placed in the back room. Players need to find some necessary items, such as protective clothing, flashlights, drugs, radio, etc. Perhaps the presence on the starting floor is not strong, but we will find that any missing piece may cause Game Over.

It is worth mentioning that "Deep into the Back Room" supports VR mode, and the sense of horror will obviously double in a straight line, but the support effect is very poor at present. The development team also reminds you not to buy games for VR experience. Anyway, I don’t have VR and I dare not try it. Friends who have devices at home are welcome to talk about the experience.

In addition, "Escape the Backrooms" is also a masterpiece of this genre released last year. It also supports up to 4 people to explore the back room. Although the picture quality is slightly lower, the development team has a lot of experience in using light effects, which is definitely unique.

For many years, a number of walking simulators inspired by "P.T." have swept the horror game circle, and the back room theme has emerged as a new blood. Although the postmodern folk tales originated from Europe and the United States are somewhat unacceptable to us, the horror atmosphere presented by electronic games has greatly reduced the cost of understanding, and the heart that is about to jump out of the process will not deceive people. interestedPlayers and friends package the above two games together to try it out, and they will guarantee that they will not regret it.

>>>"Signal"

English name: SIGNALIS

Release time: October 27, 2022

Steam review: Popular reviews (5,985, 96%)

"Signal" includes classic elements of survival horror games such as backpack management, top-view shooting, etc., but the development team has also carried out many modernizations. The most intuitive thing is the progress of the game screen. Although 3D from a top perspective doesn't seem expensive, character modeling and scene maps can withstand slap.

In the actual process, we can say that progress and a sense of accomplishment are everywhere. We go from getting lost in the first place + limited resources + not knowing what the author wants to say, to gradually unlocking many save points and maps with clear information. Although it is not as difficult as the old game, the psychological fear of "Silent Hill" is thrilling. The room on the map is very small, and a large number of enemies are coming to the face to increase the tension. Due to the limitation of the perspective, it is not very jump scar, but it is really full of pressure, and the atmosphere is shaping during the game.

In addition, the game's worldview background turns to science fiction and the near future, with the most trendy and IN-large companies and bionics all available cyberpunk elements. The plot begins with a bionic man named "Magpie". She wakes up from a broken frozen warehouse and is trapped on a cold planet and is forced to embark on a journey to an unknown abyss.

The specific content cannot be spoiled, but I guarantee that the most gratifying thing about "Signal" is that the plot is self-consistent. Although it is not a purely linear story, it does not affect the quality of the story. By collecting old notes and diaries, we can see many fragmented descriptions. After playing until we pass the level, we find that the ending is not unique. Then we will generate a loop clue to converge. After playing it a few more times, we suddenly realize it.

"Signal" is the best horror game in 2022 in your heart. If you like the old "biochemistry" and Silent Hill, then a sense of familiarity will appear when you get started. The slow movement speed, scarce survival resources, refreshing shooting feedback, all these are like the developer leaning against me and saying, "Brother, I'll ask if you are nostalgic or retro?" At the same time, they have added too many new elements to the game, and combined with a reliable and rigorous plot story, I can only say that I highly recommend it!

>>>"Quick Quarry"

English name: The Quarry

Release time: June 10, 2022

Steam review: Mostly positive (4,915, 78%)

Quick Quarre is a relatively common movie-style narrative horror game, although the developer has said the game has about 1,000 pages of scripts.The number of games is as high as 186, but in fact the homogeneity in the process is too serious. Objectively speaking, it is somewhat related to "Wang Po". Steam's negative comments also mainly focus on criticizing the screenwriter for making a knife and short process. However, it is obvious that a considerable number of players find that the characters in the game are quite satisfying.

After all, they are brothers of the opposite sex in the "Black Photo Collection" series. The atmosphere rendering and detailed portrayal of "Quarry" is as excellent as ever. Even if it is a seemingly trivial choice, it will eventually affect the direction of the story and the life and death of the characters. Advanced facial capture and light and shadow technology production further improves the film-level picture quality.

"Watching movies" is naturally the happiest thing with friends. The development team is well aware of this and has added a mode of online play by up to 7 players. Friends can vote at key decision-making points and shape a story that belongs only to you. The incredible Hackett Quarry experiences a confusing and terrifying night. Players who like plot promotion, movie-level scenes, and multiple roles, multiple branches, and multiple endings can try "Quick Quarre". Oh, by the way, the price of this game had fallen below 100 yuan when Shanguo last event. Please wait for discounts~

>>>"Before Nightfall"

English name: Before The Night

Release time: July 15, 2022

Steam review: especially positive (280, 96%)

Although "Before Nightfall" has only 280 Steam reviews, it is quite niche, but just one look at it will be attracted by its cute hand-painted style. When you think this is a dark fairy tale that enters the game, the screen full of plasma and corpses and the curious theme of animals raising humans, it will definitely refresh your cognition.

The plot is also worthy of praise. Players will play the role of humans at the bottom of the creature chain, ensuring survival while resisting the unscrupulous rule of the cute rabbit. At the end of the story, we can feel a strong emotional resonance, and our thinking on the relationship between animals and humans is profound. It is difficult for us to get a happy ending for every character, but this is not reality at all. It is a happy end to reconcile with the rabbit.

The gameplay is a relatively simple level 2D combat + exploration decryption. We need to find ways to get the "flower of life" of each level, and then find the portal to escape. During the day, you can try to trade with animal friends by exchanging objects, etc. Once the flowers are picked, the village will fall into darkness, and those cute animals will also turn into monsters that will kill without blinking. Most enemies in the level have methods of killing, but there are also completely invincible situations. Stealing and dodging and using props are compulsory courses. However, the map and enemies at each level are fixed, and it does not have much value for replay.

In general, the horror atmosphere in "Before Night" is not strongIt's so cool, but it's definitely not a fairy tale type. Friends who like 2D combat and puzzle exploration, as well as fan of curiosity stories, should have a lot of fun.

>>>"Contempt"

English name: Scorn

Release time: October 14, 2022

Steam review: Mostly positive (7,289, 76%)

"Contempt" has become famous for many years before it was released, and last year it was a model of becoming a world-renowned company through art design. Science fiction and horror elements are perfectly integrated, both monsters and game scenes are very weird and full of mystery. If you like film and television works such as "Alien" and "Prometheus", then this work should be very suitable for your preference.

The flaws in the gameplay of this game cannot be ignored, otherwise they would not have won most of the praise on Steam. It does not emphasize combat like other FPS games, and players must interact with the scene to solve puzzles while exploring freely. But to be honest, the puzzle design is really not excellent. I almost couldn't feel the fun or positive feedback during the process. I just wanted to unlock the new area quickly, so I became more anxious as I played.

It is undeniable that "Contempt" is a game full of creativity and unique charm. If you think a good game may not necessarily be fun, then it is definitely worth a try. The horror atmosphere is impeccable under the help of a powerful art style. If you pay attention to gameplay, then I will definitely not recommend this game. In short, the picture style and artistic design gimmicks are so big, it should be understandable that I put it on this list~

>>>"Charles Train"

English name: Choo-Choo Charles

Release time: December 09, 2022

Steam review: especially positive (9,718, 92%)

Thomas Train's popularity is not bad in the horror game circle. "Charles Train" has also won praise from many players as a work of the same concept. The gameplay of this game is summarized in one sentence: find materials and resources on the island, upgrade your own train, and finally defeat the evil Charles train.

We can feel obvious guidance when we first enter the game. We cannot leave the roundabout railway too far, otherwise we will be chased by Charles. There are countless scrap iron along the way that can be collected, but the most important thing is to defeat other human enemies to obtain key props. At the same time, there are many friendly NPCs on the island, and completing their side missions will also reward powerful weapons and key items. It should be noted that players can only use guns on their own trains, so the exploration process is roughly the stealth gameplay. We must avoid the enemy's sight as much as possible and focus on stealing.

Although the performance is very good, it is regrettable that the game content isIt is relatively barren, even if the side props are collected, it will be only 3 or 4 hours to pass the level. In the end, the BOSS battle is not that difficult, and upgrading to Charles seems to be nothing more than Alice. After clearing the clearance, you may feel a little loss when looking at the original price, which is also the main complaint in the Steam comment section.

If you have heard of Thomas Train’s meme and wonder how scary a broken train can be, “Charles Train” brings the answer with the appearance of a video game. Although the process is not long, I am still willing to give it a good review. Maybe you can also try it.

>>>"Female Ghost Bridge Opening the Soul Road"

English name: The Bridge Curse Road to Salvation

Release time: August 25, 2022

Steam review: especially positive (1,307, 89%)

"The Female Ghost Bridge Opens the Soul Road" is adapted from the movie "Female Ghost Bridge" of the same name. The game tells a terrifying campus legend. Players need to avoid the hunting of female ghosts from a first-person perspective, solve various puzzles within a limited time, explore Donghu University and collect various props.

The gameplay is slow about an hour before, and it is basically some of the processes from here to there, which can be understood as a 3D walking simulator. As the plot deepens, the gameplay begins to become more operational, and the standard ghost-killing process is scrambling to take place. It has to be said that the horror atmosphere of "The Female Ghost Bridge Opens the Soul Road" is very successful. Although there are a lot of jump scar elements, the descriptions of amulets, spirit-expressing rituals, etc. are also creepy.

There is no doubt that the plot of this work is the strongest driving force, the rhythm control of the horror and suspense story is excellent, and the overall character shaping and modeling are very good. If you like works like the Thai horror game "Sweet Home", then this game should also be as good as you like.

By the way, Shanguo's last event also gave a historical low price. Interested friends can squat in the spring.

>>>"Ghost Observer"

English name: Ghost Watchers

Release time: July 28, 2022

Steam review: especially positive (8,722, 87%)

If you like to watch anchors play games, you should be familiar with "Ghost Observer". This work actually provided a lot of program effects last year. Developer Renderise This time, not only let us explore the haunted house facing the evil spirits, but we must also capture or disperse it. Even Tyson can’t catch ghosts, all players are NBs than Tyson.

I didn't think it was supposed to be said or not, I didn't think it wasHow scary it can be is nothing more than the enhanced version of "Destiny" . But the process of cooperating with teammates to catch ghosts confirms one sentence: scary people can really scare people to death! As you slowly groped with the flashlight, your teammates in the headset screamed one after another, and the terrifying atmosphere was filled with it.

The gameplay of "Ghost Observer" is actually quite complicated to look at. We need to use more than 20 different tools to gradually determine the location, type, age and mood of the ghost to ensure the final smoothness. There are also many coordination factors involved during this period, and only by reasonable division of labor can we pass the level faster.

However, under the rendering of the terrifying environment, it is difficult for players to operate in an orderly manner. Everyone wants to take photos quietly, study routes, and ignite the holy wood to cooperate. But no matter who suddenly screamed, the team started running around. The scene was really fun~ Although there are still fewer monsters at present, the game is still in the EA stage, and I believe the development team will continue to add new elements.

The biggest threshold for "Ghost Observer" is that it is friends. Experience and team-up battles are completely different games. If you have fellow Taoists who are willing to subdue demons and demons together, then this work can definitely provide a steady stream of fun.

>>>"Plague Legend: Requiem"

English name: A Plague Tale: Requiem

Release time: October 18, 2022

Steam review: especially positive (6,657, 91%)

After writing this, there is no mention of the traditional "masterpiece". Logically speaking, "Ghost Line: Tokyo" should have been on the list, but after thinking about it, the Dawei Tianlong simulator seems to be not as terrifying as the doomsday plague, so "Plague Legend: Requiem" was put on the horror game list.

This work nominated TGA's 2022 Game of the Year and Best Narrative. Although all of them were unfortunately rejected in the end, it is enough to prove the quality of this sequel itself. In the previous work, Amisia and Hugo escaped from their fragmented homeland. The siblings wanted to start a new life, but Hugo's ability awakened again, and death and destruction attacked again with the flood-like rat group.

Excellent pictures and ups and downs will take you to experience a sad and heart-wrenching journey. Although it is not very scary, the suspense control of the game plot is very good.

This game is probably the most playable work on this list. The action system design is not complicated, but using a variety of tools can use secret sneak attacks, head-on battles or summon rat groups. There is no absolute correct answer in the process, but every player can find a way to pass the level, and the difficulty curve is very reasonable.

If you never dare to open a horror game but yearn for the thrill of being surrounded by fear, then "Plague Legend: Requiem" should be perfect for you. Look at those big rats, hehehehe...

>>>"Lost in Heart"

English name: MADiSON

Release time: July 8, 2022

Steam review: especially positive (1,568, 87%)

The last work inspired by "P.T." on the list came as scheduled, and "Lost in Mind" was probably the best game in this genre last year.

We will play the little boy Luca in the first person perspective, and the demon MADiSON has given the player a strong sense of oppression from the beginning. We need to use Polaroid to shoot and rinse the photos, gradually solve puzzles and explore things around us. Of course, the most important thing is to survive.

The sound design of "Lost in Heart" is particularly commendable. The monster growled and the floor squeaked together with other ambient sounds. When I first entered the game, I felt the hairs on the back of my neck standing up.

The main gameplay of this game is to explore puzzles. If you are unfortunately stuck, it may take a lot of time to start over. In fact, the development team did not bury the clues too hidden, and often they need to break out of the mindset to solve the problem. But it's simple to say that the horror environment makes the mentality easily go from nervous to overwhelming, and I spent nearly 8 hours on my first pass, perhaps this indirectly proves the success of the game.

If you are a fan of "P.T.", then this work is definitely not to be missed. Players with poor psychological endurance will not recommend it here. My friend saw next to him and felt that his heart rate was gradually getting disordered, which shows that "Lost in Heart" is indeed very powerful.

>>>Conclusion

Due to space limitations, there were still many high-quality horror games that were not introduced last year, such as:

"Nightmare of Decay" pays tribute to the elderly version of Resident Evil, retro 3D shooting is full of flavor;

The plot of "Marsha is Dead" is rigorous and excellent, with few jump scares in the process, but some scenes are close to B-level films in Europe and the United States.

If you miss your favorites, please share and communicate in the comment section. OK, the top ten horror games recommended for Steam in 2022 will end here.
