Survival Horror

 

Although classed as survival horror, a few of these have migrated over from my first-person shooter section. Apart from the obvious inclusion of aliens, zombies and the undead, this would be down to the inclusion of that mechanic where a severe lack of ammo and an acute sense of the unknown pushes the tension up to 11.  The Resident Evil series clearly does this extremely well but so too does the outstanding Evil Within 2. Dying Light is more about knocking skulls with a blunt instrument whereas Metro Exodus could be considered a straight-up first-person shooter in some circles.
