The horror genre received a massive boost when it entered virtual reality. You thought the games on your TV were scary? Try putting on a headset and letting the horror surround you on all sides. It’s an entirely new level of terrifying when done correctly. The Persistence is here on PlayStation VR with the promise of procedurally generated horror with roguelike mechanics.

When we play horror games, we usually expect some sort of supernatural element. Whether it’s a monster chasing us, a ghost haunting our character, or our worst terrors made real, many horror games depend on this element to be scary. Sometimes, though, reality can be a whole lot scarier than even our worst nightmares.

Virtual Reality is a technology that is ripe for both gaming and cinema. Immersing yourself completely into a world is a profound experience that movies could absolutely benefit from. Restless Spirit is a short horror film in VR that allows you to look around each scene and interact with the events as they occur.

It’s not very often that you see a horror game with a relatively cute main character. Bulb Boy himself may seem like a little light bulb guy about to go on an exciting adventure, but this is not going to be a whimsical night for him. Bulb boy mashes up some adorable characters with a world straight out of Tim Burton’s nightmares.

Horror comes in a lot of flavors on the PS4, but the one I want to see more of, is the kind that tells a profound story while also being terrifying. Pinstripe piqued my interest for its Tim Burton-esque art style and a promising premise.
