Spook-tacular Games to Play With Your Friends This Weekend 

Read on to unearth some devilishly great games that you and your friends can enjoy together this weekend, as well as a range of spook-tacular gaming PCs to play them on. 


Phasmophobia

Looking for some ghoulish thrills to ready you for Halloween? Then Phasmophobia is the game you’ve been searching for. In this psychological horror game, you and three friends form a team of paranormal investigators. Tasked with entering haunted locations to gather evidence of the otherworldly, you must use your ghost-hunting equipment to seek out the specter making its home there. 

Everyone can play a different role depending on how steely your nerves are. From hiding out in the truck and monitoring things via CCTV, to getting your hands dirty by directly tackling hostile ghosts. There’s a part for everyone to play. The game also supports VR for extra up close and personal shivers. Best of all, you don’t need everyone to be playing in virtual reality to still enjoy the hunt together!

Dying Light 2 

What better way to get into the Halloween spirit than free-running your way through the zombie apocalypse with your buddies? Dying Light 2: Stay Human is a game we’ve been very excited about since it came out earlier this year. With new DLC on its way next month, that’s even more reason for you to join together and parkour around Villedor

Alongside three of your friends, you can run around the city as you see fit or join up to tackle quests with one of you taking online hosting duties. While only the host player can proceed with quests, it’s worth everyone’s time. All the loot drops and the contents of searchable containers will be localised for each player. That means everyone gets their own XP, crafting materials, consumables, and gear without any fighting amongst yourselves.

Fueled Up 

What’s spookier than a giant evil space octopus? Nothing, that’s what. Fueled Up is a chaotic couch co-op perfect for playing with your pals. Especially if any of you scare too easily for the other titles in this list. You and your crewmates must fuel up, fix up, and ultimately rescue damaged spaceships that have gone adrift before the aforementioned giant evil space octopus gets its interstellar tentacles on it. 

With fires breaking out, hull breaches threatening to sink your ship, and unexpected dangers like asteroid showers popping up, there’s no rest for your spaceship recovery engineers. Teamwork is of course key, but you’ll have to juggle that alongside a rapid pace, multitasking, and a heavy dose of chaos if you want to succeed!
