Manbat in Arkham Knight is integrated really smoothly into the level design, that's what makes that one particularly great.
Lisa from PT takes the cake though but mostly due to how well designed the environment and ambience is in that game. She's scary not just for her design and the scary sound effect but because of the tension leading up to those moments.

Lisa from PT or whatever the Alien in Alien Isolation did ars good ones, but
In Vr almost gave me a heart attack. For real.
Jack hammering through the wall

This one really got me. I backed up before turning around without thinking and thought, "wait why can't I-"
There is literally no question about this and it's triggering me that the first several posts basically ignore it
Paranormal activity had one hell of a good one in VR. Halfway into the game you get a flashlight that you can see message on wall. And there are one message were it's wrote, "She clearly see you" or something like that.... and if you see the message it trigger a event that you get attack when you turn the corner. I remember screaming and my girlfriend too (she was looking at the tv)
It's Lisa.
I dont get scared with games, but PT really made me feel uncomfortable.
Lisa spooked me but I was kind of expecting it. Man Bat, on the other hand, came out of nowhere and I saw my life flash before my eyes.
It's wild how many jumpscares are in Arkham Knight, and they're more intense than most jumpscares in actual horror games! Not to mention the shit with Joker suddenly appearing all over the place.
I was terrified throughout that game, when you're suppose to feel like a badass because you're the goddamn Batman. Just what was Rocksteady's deal with that, did they really wanna make a horror game but they had to make another Batman instead?

I think that's a big factor. If you're playing PT, you're expecting jumpscares. You're not expecting them in Arkham Knight.
I had friends over, about nine people, and I suggested they try P.T.
I asked one of my friends who was already familiar with it to play it while I sat in the back of the room because I wanted to have the best seat in the house for their reactions. It was totally worth it, everyone, including the guy with the controller jumped back and starting laughing really hard after. Definitely the best jump scare.

There's a house in Red Dead Redemption 2, in the wilderness, that looks like any other house where you'd fine collectibles..
Except this one has a bear inside of it
I literally threw my controller down

Jack in RE7 and Mr. X in RE2 hammering through a wall made me scream (and luckily I have both of these moments clipped on Twitch lol)
but...I think the best jumpscare of the gen is this one from P.T, from inside the menu. Shook me to the core (warning headphone users)

Not necessarily a jump scare, rather a series of jump scares built into the game mechanic.
Alien Isolation; especially the hospital section, just a prolonged terrifying game of hide and seek, never been more stressed playing a videogame. Particularly cool when the xenomorph hears you hiding in the lockers.

Literally the most tense and frightening moment in any video game or film, in my opinion. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I almost shat my pants.
The Nightmare in Prey terrified me, but I think the best jumpscare isn't even Mr. X or Lisa.
It's Jack Baker in RE7, in my opinion, because his jumpscare is entirely optional. The first time I played RE7, I was sneaky enough to get by him without any issues. On my second playthrough, however, he was chasing me and I was booking it for a door, knowing I was safe because he had to chase me through a long hallway and I could outrun him. All of a sudden, the wall in front of me smashes open with Jack and his shovel and I gasped, jumped so hard my knees smacked the bottom of my desk, and had to take a full three or four seconds to regain my finger placement on the keyboard and grab my mouse that had been slapped to the side.
Turns out if you're stealthy enough to hide from him, it's all good. Get chased through a certain part of the house, though, and surprise motherfucker. XD
Messed me up real good. Contextual jumpscares depending on how you approach a situation is a fantastic way to get people who think they have the game down.

I'd say 7 just for the first-person and the beginning act when you aren't as well-equipped to handle threats, but both can get your pulse rate up.
RE2 is creating a lot of organic spooks and tension with Mr. X and the lickers but RE7 has more scripted spooks and classic fpp horror sections where you sneak around with no weapons, especially at the first half of the game...
My brother who is a frequenter of horror movies and games played a VR horror game (can't remember the name) that actually made his legs give out and him. Jump scare in it made him fall over and he couldn't stand back up because his legs were shaking so bad.
