The available evidence supports four first-person horror candidates from the 2020s, not a defensible ranked list of ten. Amnesia: The Bunker and The Guest are directly described as first-person horror games with 2020s release dates; Amnesia: Rebirth and Resident Evil Village appear in a first-person-horror roundup, but the available information does not establish a 2020s release date for both or support a comparative top-ten ranking.
How this shortlist is ranked
This is an editorial shortlist, not a consensus ranking or the result of comparative playtesting. The order weighs how directly the available descriptions establish a game’s first-person horror identity and its fit within the 2020s. Where the evidence does not settle a detail, that uncertainty is noted rather than filled with assumptions.

Amnesia: The Bunker
Steam describes Amnesia: The Bunker as a first-person horror game set in a World War I bunker and gives its release date as June 6, 2023. PC Gamer’s horror roundup characterizes its exploration as nonlinear and its design as tense survival horror. That combination makes it the clearest all-around fit among these four: the available descriptions connect its perspective, setting, and survival design directly to the horror experience.

The Guest
Steam describes The Guest as a first-person psychological horror game and lists its release date as October 24, 2023. Its perspective, horror subgenre, and release-window fit are explicit in that description. The available information does not establish its broader critical standing or provide enough detail to compare its gameplay with the other titles, so its second-place position reflects documentary clarity rather than a measured quality score.

Amnesia: Rebirth
Gameranx’s first-person-horror roundup identifies Amnesia: Rebirth as a 2020 release. That makes it a plausible entry for a 2020s list, but the available source material does not establish a comparative rank against the other games here or document its design in enough detail for a like-for-like assessment. Its placement is therefore provisional.
-
Resident Evil Village
Gameranx includes Resident Evil Village in a first-person-horror roundup, supporting its consideration as a candidate. The available information does not establish its relative rank or document a comparison within a 2020s-only set. Because the evidence here also does not independently confirm its release-window eligibility, treat it as a candidate rather than a fully verified inclusion.

Why this is not a top ten
A ranking of ten requires ten eligible games and a consistent basis for comparing them. The available source material directly confirms both first-person horror framing and 2020s release dates for only Amnesia: The Bunker and The Guest. It identifies Amnesia: Rebirth as a 2020 release and includes Resident Evil Village in a genre roundup, but does not provide enough evidence to verify and compare ten titles. Expanding this list with unsupported entries would make its apparent precision misleading.
“First-person horror” also covers different kinds of play. A fair comparison should distinguish survival systems, psychological tension, action, stealth, exploration, and resource management, while asking whether the first-person view meaningfully contributes to tension or immersion. The available descriptions point to overlapping labels, not a single shared formula or a published scoring method.
