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.

    Lost in Vivo is great. It’s all about claustrophobia and psychological horror. Plenty of secrets too!

    Of games that aren’t pure survival horrors (as in, they aren’t shooters): NO-SKIN, Infra Arcana and House of Necrosis.

    NO-SKIN is a very weird, moody turn-based roguelite focused on resource management and figuring out secret interactions. It leans heavily into psychological horror side of genre.

    Infra Arcana is a mix of survival horror and traditional roguelike. It’s lovecraftian horror with weird cults and things from distant stars and all that vibe. Unlike everything else I recommended this game is BRUTAL!

    House of Necrosis is a roguelike that takes ‘survival horror’ more literally: aesthetically, it’s pretty much just Resident Evil. Zombies, labs, evil plants, Jill… it’s much easier than IA too.
