In this thrilling video from GamingBolt, we delve into 15 games that shatter conventional horror norms by embracing open, expansive environments. Take Dying Light, for example. It cleverly combines scarcity of resources, unpredictable threats, and the nerve-wracking element of nighttime gameplay to keep you on the edge of your seat. And who could forget Days Gone, where you're thrust into the heart-pounding chaos of outrunning zombie hordes in vast open fields, with stealth adding an extra layer of terror.
Then there's The Evil Within 2, a masterclass in storytelling set in a semi-open world that amplifies the psychological horror tenfold. Sons of the Forest takes it up a notch by immersing you in a sprawling island teeming with cannibals and new horrors lurking around every corner. And let's not overlook Ghostwire Tokyo, a first-person supernatural horror fest that pits you against terrifying enemies with unique abilities, creating an unpredictable and haunting journey.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl plunges you into a post-apocalyptic survival nightmare with limited resources and reality-bending anomalies that will have your heart racing. Meanwhile, Dead Rising throws you into an iconic open-world zombie battleground with a plethora of weapons at your disposal. State of Decay 2 ramps up the co-op zombie survival experience with enhanced gameplay mechanics and a diverse map, promising an immersive and thrilling adventure. These games redefine horror by breaking free from the confines of narrow hallways and claustrophobic spaces, offering a truly spine-chilling experience in expansive open worlds.
