I’m on the hunt for games that evoke the same disgusting, oppressive feelings as Silent Hill 3. I’m not strictly focusing on psychological horror, but I guess that’s kind of inevitable! I’ve already played Bloodborne and the other Silent Hills, so I’d love some fresh suggestions.

You should definitely check out both The Evil Within games! The first one has held up pretty well, even if it’s been outpaced by some newer titles. But The Evil Within 2 really takes things to the next level with its semi-open world and brutal difficulty.
You can’t forget about Scorn—it has a unique creepy vibe that’s hard to shake off. Also, check out Resident Evil 7 and 8 for some modern horror with a gut-wrenching feel!
I’d also suggest giving Claire a shot. It’s an indie horror game that’s really emotional and atmospheric, fitting right in with that oppressive vibe.
I’d recommend Silent Hill 2 as well as Silent Hill 1 and 4! While I think 2 and 3 are the standout games, other solid options include Condemned, which is really underrated, and Dark Souls for that eerie atmosphere. And even though it’s a bit of a tonal shift, The Last of Us has some pretty oppressive moments too, especially the second game. It’s super depressing!
Right? TLOU2 really hits you in the feels, it’s incredibly heavy!
Totally agree! The Evil Within 2 is a fantastic game, really manages to mix horror with some interesting gameplay.
