For Competitive Gaming, Look for Multiplayer Horror Games

Horror games are like fingerprints, no two are exactly alike. In today's world of online gaming, there is no better way to get into the genre than to jump right into some competitive gameplay. By playing multiplayer horror games, you'll be able to see which horror games are popular among the thriller community. In 2019 alone, there were 1,000s of new apps uploaded to the app store designed to scare the socks off of you. Looking for competitive multilayer apps keeps you from getting lost in the crazy number of apps available for download. Another advantage of finding a competitive game is once you find a game you like, the competitive edge will keep you playing again and again. Unlike other apps, a competitive horror game has a lot of replay potential, as the game will be different each time you play.

Find Your Niche & Try Different Types of Horror Games

Another nice thing about horror games is there are so many different kinds to select. Whether you like adventure,  slashers, or just about everything in between, you can be sure you'll find a game that fits your taste. When you are first trying to figure out what type of frightening app fits your personality, stick to free apps. By downloading free apps, you can try a lot of different games before investing money in a game you end up not liking. If you like jump scares mixed with a little bit of strategy, then a game like Case Smile might be the one for you. If jump scares aren't your thing, and you are more into the thriller or suspense side of things, don't worry, there are plenty of games available for you as well. Once you find your horror game niche, don't be afraid to start spending a little bit of money for the games you enjoy because, after all, the best developers usually don't offer their work for free. Even if the app is available for free, ads can get annoying after a while. If you are nervous about spending money on a game you're not sure is good or not, most paid apps have a free trial version. Be sure to play the free version for a little bit first to get a feel if you'll like the app.

Try Several Platforms to Decide Which One Has the Best Games

Unfortunately, all the different gaming platforms aren't the same. Some horror games work much better on pc or ps4 than they do on mobile phones, and some of the older traditional horror survival games like DOOM are only supported on older platforms like Nintendo. However, if you only have a smartphone, not to worry, you can download a pc or Nintendo emulator that lets you play the top 25 Nintendo horror game right on your mobile phone. While downloading an emulator probably won't give you access to new upcoming horror games that were just released, it will let you see which games are available for different platforms. Using an emulator is perfect for someone who is exploring the idea of expanding their gaming system to a console or PC. By playing different horror games made for Xbox or PlayStation on your phone, you can see which console has the best games before shelling out hundreds of dollars on an expensive gaming system. 

If you are still having trouble trying to find a horror game you like, try playing a few of the more popular titles. When you play popular games, you'll get a feel for what a good horror adventure game or strategy game plays like. Then you can venture out and try playing a few more elusive games. If you like physiological thrillers, check of Cry of Fear, a game developed in Sweden, it takes place in an old Scandinavian town. If you are looking for more of an RPG style gameplay from a popular indie developer, try a game like Stay Close, which can be played solo or with friends. If you like competitive, age-friendly games, check out hide and shriek. No matter what your taste, you're sure to find a game that you enjoy if you spend a little bit of time searching.

Look for Games Everyone Will Enjoy Regardless of Their Age
