Which is the scariest horror game you have played till now on pc ? I have played Dying Light, Amnesia, Penumbra, Dead Island. Among all these, I found Penumbra as really scary game.

Dying light isnt even remotely scary
Try Silent Hill, Resident evil (old ones, especially 3), Clive Barker's Undying

I haven't played Metro 2033 yet, though I finished outlast in two nights. Will check its potential soon.

Its graphical potential is immense to say the least.

+1 for F.E.A.R Great atmosphere and the a.i in this game was one of the best. Not played any others in the list.

The Evil Within is another decent game though its not the kind I like.

I played it on PC as Bioshock4
initial scene is scary but after that it becomes kind of easy especially when you get Ashley to babysit.

Undying was a really a great game, gothic n atmospheric, definitely scary, but the Prison level in Amnesia is what really scared me, especially I play alone in the dark with the headsets on.

Dead Space 1 and Dead Space 2/ The sudden onslaught of zombies really scares the crap out of you sometimes.

Honestly, Dead Space 1/2 stop being scary once you get your guns and ammunition.

In Amnesia, you don't have any form of weapon whatsoever for the whole game. That automatically makes it a 100 times scarier.

Not to mention that Amnesia developers (Frictional Games) were previously known for the Penumbra series with similar mechanics and are currently working on SOMA with similar mechanics as well.

That being said. True horror games are the ones that make the playing character as helpless as possible with their only true and trustworthy weapon being their wits.

- - - Updated - - -

Imagine being chased by a malevolent/horrifying entity, you unload your gun onto it but there is little effect. Your only best hope is to attempt to outrun it or hide and hope that it gives up the chase. You run frantically and hopelessly while the entity gains on you with surprisingly agility. Finally, you somehow manage to break its line of sight and hide in some closet, while the entity runs past you. You then sit there and sigh with sweet relief knowing that you have survived just one more encounter.

I haven't played it myself, but you pretty much described Alien:Isolation from what I've heard.

I have Alien: Isolation in my Steam library. Will install it someday.

But yes, from the gameplay videos I've watched, that's pretty much how it is.
