Plants vs. Zombies isn’t new, but it’s still really good. A classic and colorful strategy game about building flowers and other plants to stop a zombie invasion. It’s not scary at all, but it’s a perfect game to play during a cool October night, especially if you have young kids who don’t want to or aren’t old enough to watch horror movies or play scary games. Plants vs. Zombies is still worth booting up and playing all these Halloweens later. A true classic.
That’s the end of the list! But if you’re still looking for games to play this October and you enjoy some scarier titles, you can check out this list of the best horror games on Xbox Game Pass.
