Top 8 Best Horror Games for PC in Malaysia 2025

Horror can be terrifying, yet electrifying and entertaining for some people. As a form of entertainment, you are able to enjoy the jumpscares, and gory scenes that will make your heartbeat a thousand times faster while sweaty hands smashing the keys to run in the game.

However, we feel that a good horror game must be more than tons of jumpscares and gore, as it has to carry few other elements that will make the gaming experience something impactful and memorable. As players, you might want to choose a horror game carefully, rather than only listening to internet hype and attractive game cover.

What is a good horror game?

To judge the worth of a horror game, it has to be more than making you run and hide from the monsters and enemies. Surely it will make you feel all sorts of adrenaline rushing through your body, but the production of the game such as affordability, storyline, and graphics are as important.

  1. Affordability

It is important to buy a game that is available within your budget. If the game that you like is slightly over, then it is only wise to wait for a sale but worry not, as sales are common on online stores. 

  1. Storyline

Other than sudden jumpscares, the story has to be effective in delivering the true purpose of the game. A storyline will let players immerse in the game universe, and feel the build-up of fear.

  1. Graphics

Typically, most games will have a darker setting or tone throughout the entire game and this is to be expected by most players in order to fully deliver the horror element. So, graphics are important in horror games as if the aspect is ignored, the players might not be able to see what is going on.
