Oh man. I played that like back to back with the first season of The Walking Dead a couple years ago. Fucked me up for a week.

I think it qualifies as a horror game because it's a major deconstruction/savage critique of tacticool manshooters like Battlefield. Whereas other games downplay the horrors of, or even outright glorify war or play up the America, Fuck Yeah! aspect (and even Call of Duty, which has always had a seething anti-war sentiment just below the surface, tends to hide it beyond a very sanitized approach to the actual combat) Spec Ops rubs your nose in it.

I debated on recommending it but I found it really…disturbing and unsettling. I'm not a big horror game fan admittedly -- the only "horror" game I've played is Resident Evil 4 and the only time I can close to being even mildly frightened in that game was with the Regenerators.

I feel like Spec Ops is almost more psychological horror, in a way. Which might not work for OP, but it REALLY got to me.

I think it's a different approach compared to the Silent Hills and Resident Evils we're all familiar with. And that's fine by me, because if nothing else at least it's not another first person simper like Amnesia.
