welcome to watchmojo.com okay teams that
have intense atmosphere in action which
also refused to give the player a single
moment of rest please note there will be
minor spoilers for some of the more
story heavy games on this list you have
been warned
i’m todd haberkorn and you think you
know stress you don’t know stress you
know until you’ve taken your bloody face
and looked in the eye of dr. wily
himself but only one health left
you don’t know stress okay let’s get
Mary could you really be in this town
regardless of your opinion about the
explosive popularity of the Battle
Royale genre you can’t deny the Russia
provides when you’re one of the last
players alive pub G is a slower paced
game compared to its competition and
you’re likely to go through most of a
match without encountering another
player should you take a safer route but
that doesn’t exactly make for a
comfortable experience on the contrary
because the slow and cautious strategy
is so common among players the overall
tension is actually much higher and if
you’re able to make it into the top 10
during a match it can get very
nerve-racking knowing you’ve made it
this far with victory in your grasp it
must be exactly how the men feel on the
Bachelorette number 9 stalker
shadow of Chernobyl a cult classic of
the open world survival game genre
stalker throws the player into the zone
an irradiated wasteland that’s the
result of a second nuclear disaster in
Chernobyl not only does the player have
to worry about areas filled with toxic
radiation and scarce supplies but
roaming gangs and twisted mutants will
not hesitate to make your trip across
the desolated wasteland and unpleasant
one enemy type in particular known as a
bloodsucker
has a habit of rushing the player when
they least expected and in tight areas
to have a great time exploring those
abandoned laboratories a la I’ll wait in
number eight subnautica what’s scarier
than navigating the depths of our ocean
did you say trying to drink milk after
the expiration date yeah that’s pretty
scary but that’s not what I’m talking
about and maritime terms I’m talking
about visiting the ocean on an alien
world and then taking the one kind of
level that most people detest and
turning it into an entire game and a
subnautica has you exploring the depths
of an unfamiliar body of water after
crash landing on a newly discovered
planet while there are portions where
you have your feet on dry land the
majority of the game has you underneath
the waves scrounging for materials and
trying desperately to stay out of the
way of the huge carnivorous creatures
number seven The Walking Dead series I’m
right here
put down the knife as one of Telltale’s
finest ventures the walking dead is held
dear by many gamers the father-daughter
relationship that develops between Lee
and Clementine as they struggle to
survive in this new world makes for an
incredibly emotional story though anyone
who’s played this knows that it’s as
heartbreaking as it is engaging often
the choices you make can spell disaster
for the characters and you typically
only have seconds to make them giving
you little time to weigh the
consequences choose wrong and you’re
forced to watch a favorite character die
to this day this sequel remains one of
the most terrifying gameplay experiences
out there the player takes control of
the oh so awkward James Southerland as
he tries to unravel the mystery of the
twisted town of Silent Hill it doesn’t
matter who I am I’m here for you James
see unreal
the developers definitely went all out
in order to disorient and scare players
the camera angles changed drastically to
confuse you with the various nightmarish
creatures continuously emerging from the
fog to end your life it doesn’t help
that James can barely fight which makes
every encounter a terrifying one if this
game doesn’t get you sweating you’re
clearly blessed with nerves of steel and
you’ve probably done a lot of cardio so
you’ve got a strong heart good for you
now it’s time to end this number 5
Resident Evil 2 remake this one caught
us completely off guard for how
stressful it can be as a remake of a
classic ps1 title we thought we knew
what we were in for shooting or avoiding
zombies with limited ammo while getting
big guns to take down liquors and solve
puzzles I mean how bad could it have
been and then he shows up this
invincible trenchcoat clad monster mr. X
he’ll constantly stalk you throughout a
large portion of the game we lost count
of how many times we were cowering in
fear in some of the offices hoping he
wouldn’t find us while his footsteps
echo down the hallways it’s even more
terrifying if you’re wearing headphones
mr. X comb give it to you this is not
there are a lot of dark themed games out
there that focus on jump scares and
grotesque monsters to stress the player
out hell-blade while having some nasty
creatures of its own shifts the focus to
the horrors of the mind Senna was on a
journey to Helheim to rescue the soul of
her dead lover fighting all sorts of
Horrors along the way however the real
danger is the voices brought on by her
psychosis that prey upon her fragile
sanity not only do they try and put her
down the wrong path but in some cases
they even attempt to get her to take her
own life
talk about intense you will die number
three Dark Souls series come on you knew
there are very few games that manage to
stress out the player like the souls
series while Dark Souls wasn’t the first
Souls game it is the one that elevated
it to worldwide popularity introducing
millions of new players to its
unforgiving nature enemies that attack
relentlessly traps around every corner
and towering bosses that toss the player
around like a rag doll this game throws
everything at you then there’s the fact
that you can be invaded at any time by
other online players and the constant
fear that one wrong move will cost you
all the vital souls you need to level up
it all adds up to one seriously
nerve-wracking adventure raise your
hands if you’ve never beaten any of the
number two cuphead
you may be asking have a game with so
much charm could possibly be so high on
this list well cute though it may look
cuphead is one of the most challenging
[Music]
depending on nothing but your wits and
reflexes you have to make your way
through a multitude of levels with very
little room for error
the bosses alone make you want to break
your controller as most of them go
through several phases each one harder
than the last over and over again before
we unveil our top picks here are a few
I can smell you
number one darkest dungeon with stress
as one of its central mechanics this
game more than earns our top spot the
McCobb darling is a turn-based RPG with
a player must explore randomly generated
areas with their merry band of fellow
dungeon crawlers the thing is that each
party member comes with a stress bar
which increases as the party witnesses
events such as character deaths or
particularly disturbing enemies death
waits for the slightest lapse in
concentration when they get too freaked
out they may refuse to attack and
potentially go insane
throw in some tricky boss fights and you
have yourself a game that revels in
torturing its audience as victories
mount so too will resistance do you
