It's Halloween weekend, and the games press is leaning into the season. Both Rock Paper Shotgun and Eurogamer published their regular what-we're-playing roundups Friday, and horror unsurprisingly dominates the picks.

Eurogamer's edition highlights Tenebris Somnia, with one contributor writing they'd been "intrigued by horrible images of live-action sequences for weeks" — the game blends traditional play with unsettling live-action footage. The roundup also touches on Moonlight Peaks and Amnesia, offering a mix of the genuinely frightening and the cozy for players who'd rather skip the scares.

Rock Paper Shotgun's weekend thread keeps its usual community-driven format, inviting readers to share their own queues alongside staff picks. One writer confessed their real fright arrived early — on Thursday rather than All Hallows' Eve itself.

For anyone building a weekend playlist, the two features make a solid starting point: seasonal horror for those who want it, and plenty of alternatives for those who don't. Both roundups are live now.
