The 2000s were an iconic era for games, especially those within the horror genre. Despite having little to no resources, the horror genre thrived during this period, producing some of the most unsettling games. From Silent Hill to Resident Evil, each of these horror games had players screaming at the top of their lungs in fear.

While Silent Hill 2’s eerie atmosphere and psychological horror earned it a remake almost two decades later, not all great 2000s horror games got the same treatment. In fact, a lot of these masterpieces got lost in the hallways of time. So, here’s a look at some of the best horror games from the 2000s that badly need a remake.

F.E.A.R., or First Encounter Assault Recon, was revolutionary. It played like a tight first-person shooter, with intense action segments comprising the majority of the game. However, these segments were stretched thin by paranormal cutscenes and unexpected jump scares. By doing so, F.E.A.R. became one of the earliest video games that blurred the lines between two different genres.

F.E.A.R. had many great things about it, from the atmosphere and story to the innovative enemy AI that would adapt to how you play. Enemies would flank you, take cover, and respond intelligently. On top of that, there were quality jump scares littered throughout, like when you’re climbing up a ladder and your camera meets the feet of a bloodied-up ghost. Overall, F.E.A.R. was one of the best horror experiences of the 2000s. It did a lot of things right, and with a remake, it could only get better.
