We are at the threshold of one of the perfect times for lovers of horror and all things supernatural, Halloween, and one of the video game genres that are becoming the most popular are survival horror. Today we want to focus on examples something less knowngames of this genre that, for one reason or another, were not as popular as they really deserved, because many were really good games.
Surely when we tell you to think of survival horror, most of you will think of some of the multiple resident Evil that we have received over the years. While these are great, we think it’s time for something more little ones are under the spotlight this time.
Survival horror with scares, good… but underrated
So since we love Halloween, we thought that today is the perfect occasion to revisit five games in the survival horror genre that we think are they deserve a second chance to become the successes they should have been at the time. This time we will take as a reference those that over the years have acquired a certain following. And once the introductions are made, we can begin.
SOMA
We inaugurate the list with SOMAa title that, although in recent times it has acquired cult status, we believe that more people need to give it a chance. Having a premise that tells us about the artificial intelligencein our opinion is more topical than ever, not to mention its gloomy atmosphereperfect for these dates.
Cold Fear
Being the victim of an advertising campaign that left much to be desired, Cold Fear takes elements from resident Evilbut combining them with a setting on a Soviet fishing boat that makes the bravest hair stand on end, thanks to the multiple enemies and the movements of the ship itself, which will give us more than one heart attack.
Rule of Rose
One of the most survival horror difficult to get Nowadays, it is also one that, if you have it, is very worth giving a chance. Combining elements of psychological horror With truly nightmarish monsters, it is a perfect gaming experience to put on your best headphones, turn off the lights and feel the terror.
Haunting Ground
The case of this game is somewhat sad, since in its original release it was eclipsed for the revolutionary Resident Evil 4. Taking as its location an enchanted castle, what stood out most about this title is one of its mechanics, the constant presence of a stalker that follows us at all times. The hair on end.
Siren
This video game seems tailor-made for those who love having a bad time with a game. Added to his extremely high difficultywe find its setting in a Japanese town full of strange creatures and its innovative mechanics that allow you to see the environment through the eyes of enemies. A classic that we recommend you try.
And you? What is your survival horror favorite?
