Resident Evil

Lots to discover

The survival horror blueprint: scarce ammo, tight inventory and interlocking puzzles in a zombie-infested mansion, with fixed camera angles building constant dread and a campy charm.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Dark, serious atmosphere

A claustrophobic first-person reboot of the series that traps you in the rotting Baker family estate in Louisiana, scraping by on scarce ammo while stalked by relentless hosts and solving puzzles. It trades action spectacle for intimate, grimy dread.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Lots to discover

An atmospheric survival shooter set in the Zone around Pripyat, where you dodge anomalies, hunt artifacts and fight mutants and rival stalker factions. Its open hubs, consequential side quests and oppressive mood make it a cult classic.

Athanasia

Dense, handcrafted world

Syndrome

Sci-fi setting

Dead Space

Sci-fi setting

As engineer Isaac Clarke, you fight through the derelict mining ship USG Ishimura, strategically dismembering grotesque Necromorphs limb by limb. Its diegetic HUD-free interface, scarce ammo and oppressive sound design make it a landmark of sci-fi horror.

Dead Space 2

Sci-fi setting

Isaac Clarke carves through a Necromorph-infested space station with strategic dismemberment while battling his own haunting hallucinations. It is a faster, more cinematic sequel that keeps the original's oppressive sci-fi horror intact.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
