In a year that was so packed full of great releases for the horror genre, including Days Gone and even a new addition to the iconic Resident Evil series, it was easy for other games to fly right under the radar. While that might have been less than ideal for the developers, it's left gamers with a lot of new content to pick up once they've finally exhausted themselves with the more well-known titles! RELATED: 10 Games To Remake After Resident Evil 3 Despite the lack of coverage for them, there were several really solid horror games released in 2019, and this list will cover a handful of them.

Silver Chains (51% Metascore)

Silver Chains takes place in an abandoned manor with a mystery that's waiting to be solved. Through first person exploration, players will search for clues and try to figure out the truth of what happened years ago. It seems to embrace itself for exactly what it is: a simple, familiar horror game. It doesn't deliver much in terms of actually being scary, but it has an immersive atmosphere and players will find themselves more focused on the increasingly unnerving predicament they're in. Since it doesn't bring much to the table that's actually new and fresh, it's easy to see how it landed at 51% on Metacritic.

Daymare 1998 (62% Metascore)

Daymare 1998 takes place in a small town that has been overtaken by deadly creatures, and there's limited time to discover the truth and try to save the day. Does that sound familiar? It should! This game is an homage to classic survival horror, particularly Resident Evil. It has everything that a game from the 90s would have - mid-level graphics, inventory management, cheesy dialogue, survivalist mechanics, and clunky controls. That last one may be a bug, or it may be a feature, but either way, it's definitely the reason that it has a 61% score on Metacritic.

 Blair Witch (69% Metascore)

Based off of the mother of found footage horror movies, Blair Witch takes it back to the year 1996. A child has disappeared into the woods of a small town in Maryland and Ellis, a former police officer, has joined the search party that's looking for him along with his loyal canine companion, Bullet. However, the deeper he gets into the forest, the more he realizes that this isn't just a normal investigation at all.

The graphics are beautiful and the storyline is immersive, however, it seems as if trying to revitalize such a treasured chunk of nostalgia can be a hit or miss, which is why it's wound up with a 69% score on Metacritic.

Layers Of Fear 2 (70% Metascore)

Layers of Fear 2 is the sequel to the 2016 Layers Of Fear. Stepping into the perspective of an actor whose lead role in an unpredictable directors movie has landed them on board a luxurious ship, players will quickly begin to realize that something isn't quite right. The game plays with elements of psychological horror, mixing them with traditional chase scenes and an unsettling atmosphere with a subtle underlying message of existentialism. With a dynamic environment and a solid story, it's easy to see how it landed a Metascore of 70%.

Man Of Medan (70% Metascore)

Man Of Medan (actually called The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan) is the first of eight installments in the The Dark Pictures Anthology series. Players take of a handful of different characters: brothers Alex and Brad, Alex's girlfriend Julia and her brother Conrad, and the captain of their ship, Fliss. They are on a diving expedition that quickly takes a turn for the worse after they're captured by a group of hostile pirates and taken aboard a ghost ship where horrors they'd only dreamed of begin to unfold around them. Similar to Until Dawn, Man Of Medan calls on players to make decisions that impact the way the story plays out. In fact, with an online multiplayer mode, players' choices can even impact another person's game as well. However, some of the endings are absurdly easy to fall into, and when a story builds itself up only to end abruptly, it leaves something to be desired. That's probably how it wound up with a 70% score on Metacritic.

The Sinking City (71% Metascore)

Like so many other video games on the market, The Sinking City takes inspiration from the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The story is set in the 1920s and takes place in the city of Oakmont, which is partially underwater. There are supernatural forces at play, possessing much of the city and its citizens, leaving a private investigator with the task of trying to figure out the truth. Each situation can be approached a number of different ways, whether it's a mystery or simply the exploration of the city itself. It has received some mixed reviews, however, with some criticizing just how open the world it offers is, landing it at 71% on Metacritic.

The Blackout Club (72% Metascore)

The Blackout Club follows a group of teenagers as they work to figure out exactly what is lurking beneath the surface of the small town they call home. Each night, the inhabitants of the town rise and roam the town, only to return back to their beds before the morning comes. None of them ever have any recollection of what took place during the night. Visually, the game brings a stealth system that's similar to the one found in The Last Of Us, giving an enthralling experience to players as they try to navigate the town undetected. It's best experienced with at least three other players, preferably ones that you actually know, and because of its somewhat mediocre single-player system, it's landed itself at 72% on Metacritic.

1 Close To The Sun (76% Metascore)

Set in 1897, Close To The Sun puts players into the shoes of Rose Archer, a journalist who has boarded the Helios, a Nikola Tesla-inspired scientific paradise found in international waters. She's looking for her sister, Ada, but instead she finds an ominous warning waiting for her at the entrance in the form of a single word: Quarantine.

The game has been compared to BioShock and complimented for its beautiful art style, as well as its clever use of Nikola Tesla's theories. There's a lack of steampunk titles overall, and Close To The Sun's ability to deliver one with compelling gameplay is probably how it got a 76% Metascore.

Yuppie Psycho (81% Metascore)

Yuppie Psycho is a unique take on a corporate horror story with pixelated graphics and layered gameplay. It follows Brian Pasternack, a man who has just been hired at Sintracorp, as he navigates through his first day on the job. Unfortunately for him, he's far from a good fit for his position... In other words, he's actually horribly unqualified and equally unprepared. His first assignment is a heavy one that will determine whether or not he's good enough to stand out among the rest at Sintracorp - and whether or not he'll even be able to survive it. With a clever but surreal take on the survival horror genre, Yuppie Psycho may not be the easiest for all players to be immersed into, which is how its found itself with an 81% Metascore.

Devotion (85% Metascore)

Devotion takes place in the 1980s, with its story unfolding in a Taiwanese apartment that's slowly beginning to fall into a nightmarish version of reality. It brings a seldom seen culture into the light by expanding upon Taiwanese mythology and traditions, fully immersing even players who have never set foot in Taiwan. It's a psychological horror game that manages to pack quite a punch into a relatively short length of three hours - but unfortunately, the length is largely the reason that it's clocked in at 85% on Metacritic.
