Since its formal introduction to the gaming world with the release of the 1996 classic, Resident Evil, the survival horror genre has transformed drastically. For better or for worse, modern horror games are rarely more than third person shooters with paper-thin horror trappings, peppered with jump scares in a cheap attempt to frighten the player. However, all is not lost. We have compiled a small list of recent games that put the horror back in survival horror.
Fortnite fans are begging for the return of OG mode while using the player count as proof that fans are not happy with the game's direction.
It's been revealed that Helldivers 2 is Sony's fastest-selling game ever, beating the record previously set by god of War: Ragnarok.
It's not a first-party game though. Is it really too much to expect these low-rate websites to have the bare minimum of knowledge about the topic that they write about?
This reminds me of the hoops that some diehard Nintendo fans would go through to claim a game (like Bayonetta 2) is first-party just to say Nintendo is pumping out games.
It’s a second party title, like Ratchet and Clank prior to the purchase of Insomniac, or like Sly Cooper before the purchase of Sucker Punch, or like Dead Nation before the purchase of Housemarque, etc.
The studio behind the popular Thief Simulator 2 has announced its next project, Crime Simulator, for PC and consoles.
dinn't Alone in the dark create survivor-horror genre ?
HowTF are you going to have a list of recent survival horror games and not include Outlast?
It's great seeing these new horror games popping up.
Personally a little less horror games in first person would be nice. Maybe more japanese inspired horror.
Really excited for Dreadout!
The revival of the genre is cool and all but it's getting alittle over saturated with the whole walking around in first person and suffering loads of loud jump scares over and over.
