The Forest
The Forest is one that you should definitely play with other people unless you are an incredibly brave soul. It’s a survival game where you get stranded on an island full of violent cannibals who are out to get you. The thing that makes it so creepy is that the islanders can sometimes stalk you to find out where your hideout is or just watch you instead of attacking you. For that reason, this is definitely best enjoyed with more than one person.

Honk at people, steal their things, break their things, there’s no limit to your terror here.
Plants vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville
3rd person shooters tend to be underappreciated and they really don’t deserve it, as they are good for people who get motion sick from 1st person games. In Plants vs. Zombies, play as an adorable but ferocious sapling who must destroy zombies invading your home. It’s much too campy to be creepy, so it’s perfect for those who scare easily in regular zombie themed games.
Ark: Survival Evolved
For the dinosaur nerds that can’t stop watching Prehistoric Planet, Ark is the game for you. Here, you’ll end up in a land full of trainable dinosaurs and have to build up your survival skills from scratch. There’s so many different dinosaurs you can tame, from ones that swim to ones that fly and of course your classics like tyrannosaurus rex. This is great to play with others so that you can divide up the tasks, someone collect food, another gets materials for a shelter, etc. You’ll work together and bond with cute dinosaurs, win-win.
The Quarry

Diablo 3
Diablo 3 is an older game, but it still somehow holds up pretty well. You’ll team up with other players to defeat hordes of monsters which have risen from the depth of hell. It’s great if you enjoy an MMO style game, but you’re not the biggest fan of MMO gaming culture. There are different character classes to choose from such as a demon hunter, monk, crusader, etc, each with different powers.
