Dead-Space-Remake-Co-Op-Multiplayer

When it comes to award shows, horror always seems to get the short end of the stick. Far too often, the genre’s films, television shows, and (most importantly) videogames have been frequently snubbed by mainstream critics, missing out on well-deserved accolades. However, one upcoming event is set to buck this trend, as The Horror Game Awards will honor the greatest spooky videogames of the past year on September 7, 2023. Here are the nominees of the first annual Horror Game Awards, along with related links to Prima Games’ reviews, analysis, and features on the scary contenders.
