Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're taking a look at the 10 scariest, most terrifyingly
00:13
terrific horror games to play on PlayStation 5.
00:24
Before we begin, we publish new videos all week long, so be sure to subscribe to Mojo

00:33
The Last of Us Part II Remastered
00:43
Some would argue that The Last of Us is less of a horror and more of a drama.
00:48
You could say that about the first game, but for Part II it's a bit of a different story.
00:52
The Last of Us Part II is gruesome and intense to the point where so much of it makes you
00:57
feel uncomfortable.
01:06
From its visceral visuals to the seemingly never-ending violence, you rarely ever get
01:11
a chance to breathe and just process everything.
01:14
It almost makes it hard to play, to be honest.
01:23
Alan Wake 2
01:33
Alan Wake 2 is not for the faint of heart.
01:36
Really, this game can go a little too hard at times and make you want to take a break
01:40
for a day or two.
01:42
Playing as Alan and Saga alternatively, you will investigate a mysterious cult while experiencing
01:47
bizarre phenomena like the Dark Place.
01:57
Thankfully there are moments where you'll get to calm down with some puzzles and deductions,
02:02
but sometimes even the cutscenes can become visually overstimulating with its graphic
02:07
imagery and tense music.
02:09
Play at your own risk, please.
02:20
Tormented Souls
02:29
Tormented Souls is unique in how it plays a lot like the classic survival horror games
02:33
of the late 90s and early 2000s.
02:36
You know, the fixed camera angles, the tank controls, the whole nine yards.
02:40
However, it does utilize more modern controls while implementing a better camera for the
02:45
player.
02:46
Not only that, it does tell a frighteningly original story about a young woman finding
02:50
herself trapped in an abandoned hospital while searching for two lost girls.
03:02
If you didn't have a fear of hospitals and doctors before playing this, Tormented Souls
03:07
will make sure you walk away with more paranoia than you ever had before.
03:29
While competitive players can quickly make this game less scary, and sometimes less fun,
03:34
those who just want a good time will find plenty of scares and laughs in Dead by Daylight.
03:39
With more than 40 playable survivors and more than 30 killers to play as or against, it's
03:44
rare for any game to feel the same as the previous.
03:53
Maps randomly generate tiles before each game, thus making you adapt to your surroundings,
03:58
and perks can change up the way you play between repairing generators and trying to escape
04:02
the killer.
04:03
Think you truly have what it takes to go up against the likes of Chucky or a mad doctor
04:07
with the power to fry your brain with electricity?
04:14
Amnesia the Bunker
04:23
Read about Germany during World War I and World War II and you'll find that many of
04:27
their leaders were obsessed with mad science and supernatural artifacts.
04:31
Amnesia the Bunker taps into this facet and almost makes it feel like this all could have
04:37
actually happened.
04:38
You play as French soldier Henri Clement, who finds himself trapped in a bunker once
04:42
run by the Germans.
04:44
It isn't long until you figure out you aren't the only one down here.
04:54
The product of a horrible experiment gone wrong stalks the corridors, sticking mostly
04:59
to areas with little to no lighting.
05:01
Explore the bunker for resources and find your way out before you can even get a glimpse
05:05
of what this beast looks like.
05:20
Dredge
05:28
If you ever want to grab eyes, just put fishing in your game.
05:32
If you want to grab eyes and scare players, you make something like Dredge.
05:37
Developed by Black Salt Games, you'll captain your own little fishing tugboat.
05:42
Set sail to go out, catch different sea creatures, and then sell them to towns for a little bit
05:46
of money to upgrade your equipment.
05:48
Thing is that if you want to make any real progress, you will have to venture out into
05:52
the night where the most dangerous of ocean life is lurking beneath the surface.
06:03
These beasts can do anything from infect your cargo to straight up damaging your boat and
06:07
possibly sinking it.
06:09
Play for just an hour and you'll understand that humans were never meant to be in the
06:13
ocean, ever.
06:20
Inscription
06:32
Whereas most of our entries focus on terrifying imagery and actual threats, Inscription exudes
06:37
frightening tones in a different manner.
06:39
You are forced to play a card game against a mysterious character named Leshy, and in
06:44
order to beat him, you'll have to play and sacrifice cards until you've accrued more
06:48
tokens than him.
06:58
Between Leshy's piercing gaze and creepy masks, and the fact that the cards speak to
07:03
you, Inscription is a game that will give you that sick feeling in your stomach until
07:07
the very end, and when it's finally all over, you'll be left questioning what in
07:11
the absolute hell just happened.
07:20
Darkwood
07:29
When you hear the term "survival horror", your mind probably goes immediately to Resident
07:33
Evil or Silent Hill.
07:35
But what if it was literally a survival horror?
07:40
What you get is Darkwood.
07:42
Like most survival games, you will have to craft various objects, tools, and weapons
07:46
to survive the brutal world.
07:48
However, the night cycle is where things can get harrowing.
07:51
You will be unable to leave your hideout, not that you would probably want to, and must
07:55
brave whatever threats try to come for you.
08:05
You can lay down whatever traps you want, but you will always be left wondering if it's
08:08
enough.
08:09
So hunker down and pray that you don't see anything moving in your purview.
08:19
Resident Evil 4
08:30
If you're wanting a game that can get scary but also reel back on the terror every once
08:34
in a while, Resident Evil 4 is the perfect choice.
08:37
For every frightening fight with crazed villagers or zombie dogs, there's a lighthearted moment
08:42
between Leon and Ashley that kind of reassures you everything is going to be okay.
08:47
It's like a haunted house at a theme park.
08:55
You'll get scared left and right in ways you won't expect, but it's all in good
08:59
fun.
09:00
Plus, the puzzles can offer some respite between the grotesque imagery and intense combat.
09:15
Dead Space
09:23
Without a doubt, Dead Space is the scariest game you could possibly play on PlayStation
09:27
5.
09:28
But it isn't just because of the horrifying designs of the necromorphs either.
09:31
It's how the game forces you out of your comfort space and how you must absolutely
09:35
sacrifice safety for the sake of progress.
09:45
Dead Space will keep you on your toes as you divert power between rooms, having to choose
09:50
between lighting and access to secret areas.
09:53
It's not even safe to read codex entries sometimes as it leaves you open to be ambushed.
09:57
Yeah, Dead Space will quickly teach you to be on your toes at all times, and even hearing
10:03
just one little weird sound will put you on red alert.
10:15
But what's your favorite horror game to play on PS5?
