With Halloween coming up and the scary season begins, it is time to play games that will grip your throat and give you frights and tough fights. The images here are from older games and you are likely to purchase them at low cost or if you are signed up for Xbox Game Pass, free… ish.

Metro: Exodus is a game (as are all in the Metro series) of tough and frightening situations. Long tunnels, howls and most of the time, darkness. A good game to load up and run through even if you have already completed it. The Metro games have multiple endings based on your game play and choices.

Vampyr has been released on the Xbox Game Pass, so if you have that there are no excuses for not running through this game of vampiric blood… not for the squeamish.
I have just started playing this game at time of writing, but I am already being drawn in… mesmerized.

The Evil Within is one of the most terrifying games (and frustrating) I have ever played on Xbox. It is steeped in mind twists, broken undead (that just keep getting up unless you put a match to them) and the hardest boss fights. It is confusing at first but, it does make sense as you play through… sort of.
Though a difficult game to play the story and atmosphere make you want to turn that corner… or is it the game playing with your mind… hmmm… !
