Shinji Mikami, director of the acclaimed Resident Evil 4, promises to bring back old-school Survival Horror with The Evil Within. To be honest however, I don’t think the genre has ever left. Survival Horror continues to thrive in the indie gaming scene where consumers can find games that replicate the classics such as Lone Survivor or try something different like Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Even the recently released Alien: Isolation is a genuine Survival Horror experience that eschews the annoyances of classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill titles. These games have already beaten The Evil Within to the punch, even if the genre admittedly continues to struggle to compete with the mainstream console success of, say, the first-person shooter.
Xbox Game Pass continues to bring quality titles for gamers no matter the genre, but this time we here at CGMagazine have compiled a list of spine-tingling titles to celebrate the spooky season with.
The Dead Space Remake gets added to GamePass 10/26, definitely worth playing through.
The Epic Game Store's weekly freebies includes a game to give you nightmares.
Enter a world of terror and darkness with this list comprising the best horror games of all time, featuring old and new titles.
Was playing Alien: Isolation again a few weeks ago, still holds up and the AI is incredible.
F.E.A.R. was another amazing game, shame the series went downhill with 2 and then fell off entirely with F3AR.
Couldn’t get into Fatal Frame, bought the remaster on PS5 and just…couldn’t.
Looking forward to reading this and seeing how the game turns out. I've been hearing a lot about this game over the past 2 years.
I held my expectations in check for this and I'm glad I did. The horror indie scene is much more entertaining at the moment.
Great review. I've always found horror games where you can pretty much just kill anything to lack that scare factor.
I'm genuinely disappointed that this isn't as scary as advertised. If you play a "survival horror" game and you feel as though you always hold an advantage due to an abundance of weapons, how is that ever perceived as being scary? I still think PT Silent Hills blows this out the water and this will be proven once the game hit stores next year.
don't scary doesn't mean bad game look RE 4
