New data has revealed the highest-rated free-to-play horror games on the Steam platfom.
Counter-Strike 2 experts at CSDB.gg filtered the library of the gaming platform for those with the ‘horror’, “’psychological horror’, and ‘survival horror’ tags, then ranked them by their player ratings.
Corey Sims, of CSDB.gg, commented on the findings, saying: “Sometimes, the crowd favorites aren't the most expensive games on the market. Instead, they're often the simple, streamlined games that deliver a good scare.
“It is important to note that gamers are often more generous with their rating of free games as they do not have the element of value-for-money to consider.“
Here are the games that you won’t have to empty your wallet for to enjoy a solid scare.
