As another year draws to a close, we reflect back on the variety of horror titles that were released in 2021. In addition to sequels and follow-ups to established franchises, we also got a number of original titles. After internal discussions and votes based on our own favorite titles, the Rely on Horror staff is excited to announce our five 2021 Game of the Year Nominees.
Here’s the list, in no particular order:
Resident Evil Village – Capcom
The Medium – Bloober Team
Back 4 Blood – Turtle Rock Studios
Tormented Souls – Dual Effect, Abstract Digital
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes – Supermassive Games
