One of the most well-known horror titles on the PS3 is the Dead Space series. Here, players find themselves in the role of engineer Isaac Clark, who must fight his way through hordes of alien mutants called Necromorphs. This game combines elements of action, shooting and survival horror with an emphasis on atmosphere and fear.
Another popular horror franchise on the PS3 is Resident Evil, an iconic brand in the survival horror genre. Games such as Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 offer a cooperative experience in which players battle hordes of zombies and other biological threats. The emphasis here is on resupply and solving various challenges in an environment fraught with danger.
The Silent Hill series is another significant contribution to the PS3 horror games section. Silent Hill: Homecoming and Silent Hill: Downpour focus on psychological horror and atmosphere, where players explore a seemingly abandoned town full of dark secrets and sinister creatures.
The PS3 also offers several horror games with action-adventure elements, such as The Last of Us. Here, players follow the story of Joel and Ellie as they must fight their way together through a post-apocalyptic world full of infected and dangerous people. The game emphasises the story, the characters and the emotional connection between them.
In addition to these titles, the PlayStation 3 horror section also includes a number of other indie and smaller games for players to enjoy.
