FandomWire's list of underrated horror games

FandomWire has compiled a list of '5 More Underrated Horror Games That You Should Check Out Now!' Author Massimo Castelli

They decided they had missed many titles in their earlier list of '10 Underrated Horror Games Released In the Last Decade.' We were delighted to see a couple of Wired classics make this new list of FandomWire's list of underrated horror games.

The Town of Light.

"Town of Light is an interesting first-person psychological horror game that deals with themes surrounding mental illness and sexual abuse across mental health institutions in the early 20th century. The game carries a genuinely unnerving atmosphere with the setting of a derelict mental hospital in Tuscany, Italy maxing the creepiness out to 11 with each creaking door and flickering light."

Close To the Sun

"Looking for a taste of that haunting retrofuturism without having to play Bioshock for the tenth time? Well, Close to the Sun will give you that fix. Taking place aboard the city-sized ship known as Helios, you play as a journalist called Rose who has been invited aboard by her sister Ada via a cryptic letter."

Both of the games join Martha is Dead which made the original list.

"There is a lot about Martha Is Dead that makes it one of the most underrated horror games released in the last decade. From the engaging plotline, to the brilliant voice acting, to the brilliant graphics, Martha Is Dead presents itself as a rival to heavy hitters like Resident Evil Village, rather than just being yet another throwaway first-person horror title. It also contains an interesting camera mechanic and a number of cutscenes that use a creepy puppet show to provide a great deal of additional character depth."

Check out the full rundown of FandomWire's list of underrated horror games and check the games on Steam.

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is a chilled base builder, players can explore an unforgiving environment, manage the flow of resources as you help to breathe life into the land and provide asylum to those lost.
Meet and hire commanders and specialists that unlock new building options, units and stories.

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles requires a novel approach to building, something that isn’t about clicking over a screen but focusing on the world itself. In this sense, the game is one of experimental gameplay and controls, supported by a world and settlement that comes alive before your eyes.

Tin Hearts has launched on Steam!

Our friends at Rogue Sun have today launched Tin Hearts on Steam.

Step by step,
Heart to heart,
Left, right, left,
We all fall down.
Like toy soldiers.

To celebrate the launch of Tin Hearts, which last week saw an animated prequel story narrated by legend Stephen Fry, Artists Aisha Vaughan and Kieron Pepper collaborated with Black Razor Records, the indie music label founded by Wired Productions, to create a cover of iconic and classic Toy Soldiers by Martika. The devastating beautiful track perfectly encapsulates the emotion of Tin Hearts, winner of the ‘Most Anticipated Nintendo Switch Game’ accolade during Gamescom 2022.

Behind every brilliant invention, hides a magical story. Guide a troop of tin soldiers through a magical toy-filled world, in this immersive narrative puzzle adventure game from members of the team that brought you Fable.

March through 40+ levels of time-bending, soldier-routing riddles, using a variety of whimsical and inventive contraptions to bounce, shoot and glide them to their goal. Forge new paths for your toys to follow, and solve increasingly elaborate puzzles to unravel the emotional, thought-provoking story of love, loss and compromise centred around the family of Albert J. Butterworth, a genius inventor of Victorian times.

Tin Hearts is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, and the Xbox family of consoles.

PCVR, Meta Quest 2 and PSVR2 are set to be released later this year.
