It’s a whole lot harder to laugh at on-screen characters making stupid and clichéd decisions when you’re the one making them. When you’re the one holding the controller and making choices that could mean life or death, every moment is tense and significant – especially thanks to the haptic feedback in your controller or gaming headset.

Halloween is just around the corner, so what better time to scare yourself silly?
