What great survival horror games have I missed in the last decade or so? (lemmy.world)

I used to play quite a few of them in the ps1/ps2 era, but sort of dropped out after Resident Evil 4.

Now I've picked up Resident Evil 7 and it's clear I'm about at endgame, and I've been enjoying it pretty well.

So aside from other RE games (I have Village ready to install when I finish 7), what are some more good ones from say the last 10 years-ish?

I find the superscience bullshit of RE is usually easier to follow than supernatural survival horror games, I prefer to have some combat and not be purely hiding like I think it's Amnesia? And I enjoy RE7's shift to first person. Tank controls are hard for me to go back to.

So to answer your question, I'm afraid resident evil has cornered the market. I think the evil within might be a close second.

However

Amnesia: The dark descent is the granddaddy of basically every indie horror game you see. Also, I believe, the best one.

I see you said you prefer combat, but if you ever get curious, take heed of the message before the game starts "don't try to win, do your best to immerse yourself in the world" because if you do, you'll be taken for a psychological terror-ride.

The recent Silent Hill 2 remake was pretty good, and a good mix of combat/horror. I'd recommend that to anyone that likes modern RE.

I've had Amnesia in my Steam library for ages, so I could definitely give it another go sometime. I think I got the Evil Within games free on Epic at some point too, so if those are roughly in the RE-style sphere, that might be good to check out next.
