The best time of the year has begun, and I need some recommendations myself of what to play this month to keep the Halloween spirit alive, what games you will all be playing?

Still haven't played Resident Evil VII.

Plus I've also got the original Luigi's Mansion on 3DS, but I mean, my heart can only handle so much

I bought Darkwood earlier this year and have been specifically waiting until this time of year to play it.

I'm also playing Dark Souls 3 and will likely buy Amnesia: Rebirth.

Gonna revisit & finish Luigi's Mansion 3!

Exactly the kind of Scooby Doo vibes I need this Halloween season.

I shall be undertaking my yearly visit to what should be the Anarch Free State in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

Then maybe some more horror games later.

I should actually finish Pathologic 2. Think I got to Day 5 before I just went onto other games. What a bleak game that is.

Just started a replay of Code Veronica X. Only my second time playing through it, and first in a really long time. Also going to start a replay of REmake (Chris' campaign this year) at lunch.

Silent Hill: Homecoming and Downpour after that, to finish off the mainline SH games.

And hopefully Amnesia: Rebirth closer to the end of the month.

Probably picking back up my run of Diablo (the first one) which I've yet to complete. Usually that's my go to. Although I'm strongly considering re-installing L4D2 because hey new update.

Just Dying Light and RE7 like last year, maybe I'll buy a horror game in a couple days. I lost my TLOU disk so I won't be playing that

I couldn't wait so I played The Evil Within 2 at the start of September, now I'm playing Deadly Premonition 2. I've got the Outlast Trinity collection for PS4 that I've yet to play too but I'm kind of on the look out for horror/paranormal themed Switch games at the moment.

Layers of Fear

Call of Cthulhu

The Sinking City

Amnesia: Machine for Pigs

Blair Witch

Resident Evil 3 Remake

Moons of Madness

Carrion

Man of Medan

World of Horror

I finally dove into dark souls 3. Not a traditional scary game, but I love that fall and gloomy atmosphere. It's hitting the spot!

Horror or horror adjacent games I'm planning to play:

RE3R, Dark Souls remaster, Dead By Daylight and then the new Amnesia.

Right now I'm half way through a Claire run in RE2R.

For those looking for a game I would recommend Soma.

I am probably going to finally get around to finishing luigi's mansion 3 myself. Maybe Resident Evil VII

I actually just beat Outlast last night after having not played it since 2015 lol. Didn't realize how close I was to the end as I finished it in about 30 minutes.

Started Blair Witch last night and I can already tell it's a bit of a mess but since it's short I'll power through. Going to check out Resident Evil 7 for the first time once I'm finished and I'm very excited for that one.

I began with Alien Isolation last week. That's been in my backlog for quite some time. Other than that: Dead by Daylight and Phasmophobia for shorter play sessions. Man of Medan and Until Dawn to play with my girlfriend. Then I'll probably improvise with Resident Evil HD, Amnesia Rebirth, or Outlast 2.

We should probably have a Spooktober / Halloween OT since this is like the third thread I've seen on the topic.

That being said, unlike previous years I'm actually planning to play some spooky games during October this year. Here's my tentative list:
  • Resident Evil 3 (currently playing on PS4, almost done I think - at the hospital with Carlos)
  • A Night in the Woods (Switch - started playing this last year but never beat it)
  • Alien Isolation (PC - started playing this last year but never beat it)
  • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PC Game Pass - just downloaded)
  • Bloodborne (PS4 - started a while ago, haven't finished yet - can you spot a pattern?)
  • Luigi's Mansion 3 (Switch - haven't bought it yet, waiting for a sale)
As you can see with ANitW and LM3, I'm trying to mix in some spooky-themed-but-not-spooky-at-all games since I don't think I can play actually scary games non-stop for a month.

I'm currently working my way up through the difficulties in the original Devil May Cry, so between the Resident Evil roots and the horrifying difficulty on DMD I'm counting that :P

Might run through P.T. again, and I've had Layers of Fear installed for a while, might give that a go.

Would love to hear your thoughts on Darkwood once you start it. Been considering picking it up myself for this month

I played the opening 20 minutes or so immediately after I bought it. I was impressed and intrigued enough by those 20 minutes to shelve it for a time where I'd appreciate it properly, so safe to say I'm really looking forward to digging into it.

It was one of this years early Steam sales where I picked it up super cheap, so I'd guess it's a shoe in for any Spooky SZN sales.

Maybe the new Amnesia if the word of mouth is great.

Should probably try Carrion on gamepass, I really enjoyed the demo back in the day.

Rogue-lites like Spelunky 2 or Undermine can get a bit scary and spooky too sometimes haha, will be playing those a lot

Like every year, I plan on Platinum'ing The Evil Within and getting the 100% for PS3 Resident Evil 4. I end up doing something else instead every year.
