269Who knew open-world exploration and tightly crafted horror could go together so well? Apparently the studios of the 15 games on this list. These games offer expansive, explorable worlds while delivering the same pulse-pounding dread typically reserved for more linear, enclosed settings.
The oldest game on this list hails from 2006, while the latest game, Stalker 2, just released in 2024, demonstrating how far we’ve come and how long this fusion has been tried.
It’s worth noting that some games on this list aren’t fully open-world, but feature segmented regions that are large and explorable. But one common denominator is just how scary or spooky these games are, regardless of sheer surface area.
