The best horror games where you play a killer

Summary

• Play as a murderer in selected horror peas, including the killer of the princess and the dead in daylight.

• Bioshock 2 allows players to be a dreaded big daddy rather than fight him.

• Carrion provides a unique experience of a “reverse horror” where players become a monster.

In most horror games, the player is thrown into the role of an unfortunate survivor who finds himself in a really terrible situation, relying on his mind and anything that they can get hands to bounce a killer, rather than the killer himself.

But this is not true for all horror games, because there are several selected titles that turn the script over the head, allowing players to inhabit the murderer's body, be it the fact that they are aware of from the beginning, or shocking twists that arrive at the end.
