Best Horror Games for PlayStation VR

The Inpatient is the best psychological horror game that exists for the PlayStation VR. Here you find yourself with no memories, stranded in an insane asylum with the full belief you are not insane. Doctors and nurses alike are continuously disregarding whatever you have to say to continue gaslighting you into thinking you're a patient. Can you remember who you are so you can escape the grips of the reality they're trying to force you in, or will you find yourself at the mercy of their whims?

In this psychological horror, you awake in a mysterious mansion without any of your sight. Despite having lost your vision to neurological trauma in an accident that happened just before you woke up, you've somehow mastered the art of echolocation. It's up to you to explore this mansion, discover the story of the people who live here, and remember what happened. Oh, and there's also some sort of a demon or ghost following you around. If you get caught, you're dead.

DYING: Reborn does have a psychological twist to it, but what really made it terrifying was the environment. This game is more of a surreal nightmare than heart-pounding horror, but the ambiance makes up for what it lacks in fear. If you're looking for a game that focuses less on messing with your morality and more on getting your heart racing, this is the one you want. The soundtrack and timed background sounds give it a perfectly eerie feel to it and there are plenty of puzzles to keep yourself entertained!

Chernobyl VR Project didn't make it to my list because it was particularly terrifying, but more so because of how interesting it was. Let's face it, we all have a dark looming interest over the events that happened at Chernobyl. This game gives you the chance to experience the grounds in a VR headset and it's filled with jumpscares, puzzles, and haunted events. Sure, it'll still scare you, but not quite as much as something like Killing Floor or Doom will. Regardless, for that price, it's well worth the experience.

Killing Floor is one of the best horror games for VR if you're looking for something to shoot. You find yourself in the middle of a zombie-infested world and you need to kill all the undead while also trying to figure out how to make it out alive. There are technologically advanced robot helpers, plenty of guns and melee weapons, and even the option to beat a zombie to death with the bloody end of its own arm. The best part? This game is just as visually pleasing as it is fun because the zombies spawn in hordes where most of them look different, as opposed to the generic zed that spawns 100 times.

Who doesn't love a good Resident Evil game? Here you get to shoot zombies, solve puzzles, and explore in an open-world VR simulator. There's nothing quite more thrilling than a horde of undead running at you. This game is set place in a mansion in modern-day Dulvey, Louisiana. You're tasked with learning dark secrets of this mansion and surviving. Solve the usual types of Resident Evil-style puzzles by combining items, searching for lost things, and killing enemies while you try and accomplish tasks.

DOOM VFR may not be described as a horror game for VR, but it sure gets the job done of getting any heart racing. It's meant to be a fast-paced shooter that takes place on an abandoned space station you're tasked with clearing out. What are infesting this station, you ask? Well, mutant aliens that want to eat your entire face, of course! This game made it to the list of the best horror games for VR because the pace of the game and visually terrifying monsters are more than enough to get your heart racing and your body sweating.
