There’s no need to fret if you’re yet to make solid Halloween plans. If you don’t have a party or costume lined up, you can still find a theater doing a screening on the night, or if you’re more inclined to stay indoors, maybe it’s worth perusing sales for great horror games. Xbox is hosting a sale right now for “Shocktober” that’s discounting a wide range of wonderfully scary games.
Here are a few of the most worthwhile deals you can snag on Xbox till October 31. It’s hard to go wrong with picking up any Resident Evil title this Halloween, since I’d argue they’re all varying degrees of good, depending on what you’re looking for. Everyone loves the Resident Evil 2 remake that was released a few years back, as well as Resident Evil 4 from just last year, but my favorite of the bunch is RE7 Biohazard .
It’s the first game in the series that I ever completed, and it’s one of the most effective horror games I’ve ever played. It turns out that a more methodical approach, a change in perspective, and a creepy Louisiana swamp and manor were all I needed to finally get into the series. You can pick up Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and all its DLC in the gold edition, which is available for just $16.
Dead Space is simply one of the best to ever do it. It was a brutal and necessary revitalization of the survival-horror genre back in 2008, and its remake inherits the finest qualities of the original while polishing its roughest edges. At a time when remakes are.
