The Nintendo Switch has earned praise over the years for being a perfect bridge between handheld gaming and a more traditional home console experience. It's also the best console for ensuring that you'll never get a good night's sleep, as not even the usually impregnable fortress of your bedsheets can save you from the monsters contained within that console once a few horror games have been downloaded. With the recent release of the Nintendo Switch OLED Model also visually amplifying those handheld terrors and Halloween around the corner, now's a great time to look at the games that are worth having on that device in the spookiest of all months.
Starting this list off with a killer compilation, you can't go wrong with the Amnesia: Collection that bundles the genre-defining horror games into a stomach-churning digestion of its greatest hits. The Dark Descent, the expansion Justine and the sequel, A Machine for Pigs, are all included here in case you missed out on them the first time, all brought up to a more modern standard of graphical gore. A triple-threat benchmark in horror game storytelling for its era, this blast from the past is still capable of making you jump.
