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.
The Epic Games Store is giving away two Styx games this week.
Today, Bungie premiered its “Developer Insights | Runner Shells” video of their PvPvE survival extraction FPS Marathon.
The Outerhaven writes: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Visions of Four Heroes lets you try four different What If paths from the main game.
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.
