When you think of the most frightening videogames, it's surely Resident Evil, Alien Isolation, and maybe the dreaded Ravenholm section from Half-Life 2 that first spring to mind. But SnowRunner, Saber Interactive's superbly detailed driving and industry sim from 2021, has them all beat. On the surface, it's a quiet, even pastoral game where you deliver pipes, bricks, and other building supplies from one side of a beautifully designed map to the other. In actuality, it's pure, unremitting terror and tension. Soon to hit Steam, SnowRunner's spiritual sequel RoadCraft looks even more intense. From the team behind Space Marine 2, if you want to take RoadCraft for a spin, you can already get it with a solid discount.
