Top 10 Darkest Video Games Ever (5 of 6)

The Evil Within

In The Evil Within, you get to play as Detective Sebastian Castellanos, who’s investigating a sickening mass murder. While he’s at it, he gets ambushed, knocked out, and wakes up in a world filled with hideous creatures. Fighting for survival, Sebastian is set to uncover the evil force behind the chaos. You can really tell this game was made by the mind behind Resident Evil – Shinki Mikami. Everything from the plot to the action to the disgusting power-ups keeps you on your toes.

LIMBO

Remember INSIDE? Well, that wasn’t Playdead’s first game. Limbo is a simple black-and-white puzzle platformer, but it’s anything but lighthearted. You play as a boy who’s going through a shadowy world filled with deadly traps for some unspecified reason. If you’re not paying attention, you’re gonna get shanked, webbed up, and chomped on. But that’s just the regular platformer shenanigans. What really elevates LIMBO is the art style, the clever puzzles, and the very ambiguous ending, which sparked hundreds of theories.
