Establishing an immediately fun and engaging world of mystery and intrigue, Alan Wake wove a mind-bending tale that traveled the far reaches of an author’s imagination come to haunt him that immediately captured the hearts of horror enthusiasts.
A mere two years later Alan Wake was released by developer Remedy Entertainment, showcasing a master-class mix of Resident Evil 4, Twin Peaks, and Stephen King inspirations that it wore on its sleeve with pride.

These are our picks for the best horror games of the last decade, along with runner-ups that are good fallbacks in case you’ve already played the top pick! 2010: Alan Wake (Xbox 360/Xbox One/PC)Īs Resident Evil began to drift further and further away from survival horror, its genre of over-the-shoulder horror games still hadn’t quite cracked the AAA market. As such, it’s worth taking the time to gaze back upon the very best of what we’ve gotten to enjoy over the past ten years and hope that the next ten will be able to grant us as bountiful a supply of memories and scares. We went from what could have arguably been called a horror game drought in the late 00s-early teens to the greatest horror game revolution the industry has seen since the PlayStation 2.

Our lives have all changed pretty drastically in that time, whether it’s a new job, graduating from school, a relationship - who knows. Now that the decade has drawn to a close, we all have a lot to look back on.
