It's going to be Halloween soon in 31st of October, so I'm going to discuss about the Survival Horror in gaming.
As you know Survival Horror are becoming the well known genres for gaming industry is due to popularity of the video game franchises like Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Project Zero, and among all others games that categorized as Survival Horror. It has supernatural, zombies, slasher, vampires, aliens, and many more types of awesome horror games out there with tons of scare factor.
I'm going to make my favourite Top 5 Survival Horror Games of all time.
5 - Resident Evil (Both original and remake)
One of the Shinji Makami's classics called "Resident Evil" is the most influential horror game in history. When the game was came out in 1996, it became classic horror game for PS1, Saturn, and PC that the game got much attention among with gaming fans enjoying the experience of the Survival Horror atmosphere. It has memorable characters, excellent story, great gameplay aspects with puzzle solving, collecting items, going to different rooms, shooting zombies, and awesome boss fights what makes this game so fun to play. Despite the game has received positive reviews for PS1 version, it is also criticized for silly voice dialogue and cheesy live action cutscenes which was later improved for the 2002 remake of the game on Gamecube allowing to have better cutscenes, decent voice cast with fixed dialogue, and has much more scare factor than the original version. I love the original version of the game and so with the remake for Gamecube.
4 - The Last of Us
One of the best PS3 games ever made by Naughty Dog have stepped up into right positions of the horror game like this. The Last of Us is the magnificent game that offers the best story development with excellent made plot, awesome characters with great voice cast, nicely made cinematic cutscenes, fantastic graphics with brilliant visuals and animation, and it has the best gameplay mechanics in the game with brutal combat controls, stealthy levels, and the atmosphere of the game makes the game look wonderful for PS3 systems.
When the game was came out last year, it received much critical acclaim reviews by video game critics and won several awards winning in 2013. It is later re-released for PS4 as the remastered version with better graphics, runs the game in 60 Frame-Per-Seconds, and adding extra DLC chapters called "The Last of Us: Left Behind".
This game is definitely must play for PS3 and PS4.
3 - Clock Tower: The First Fear
Clock Tower: The First Fear is the Point and Click Horror game for SNES, PS1, and PC. It never got released outside of Japan, but it has reached gamers internationally by using the SNES emulator with fan-made translations. Clock Tower: The First Fear is well known slasher horror game for SNES that you have to play as the Girl named Jennifer has the mission to find friends in darkest mansion called Clock Tower.
The game have share the influences by the 1985 Italian horror movie "Phenomena" (AKA "Creepers" in US) that both has similar plot.
The game is pretty scary because of the whole game is dark and creepy, so I say the Scissor man is probably the best villain in the game that chases you around in the level what makes the game so challenging, but damn it's frigging nightmare in the game.
What I like about the game is to collect items, find something useful in the levels, and find place to hide that the creepy scissor man won't find you in the room makes it fun to play.
If you wanted to try this game out, I dare you to play this game because IT'S FRICKEN SCARY WITH SCISSOR MAN IN THE GAME!!!
2 - Dead Space
This details down below contains manly dialogue and badass humor:-
Hell yeah, Dead Space is the badass Sci-fi horror game by EA. You are playing as the awesome engineer called Issac Clarke are ready to kick some ass in the game. It has tons of deadly monsters are coming to chase you and you are ready to shoot the crap of them with brutal weapons like plasma cutter with three bullet shots that shoots the arms off, Motorised Pulse Rifle that rapidly shoots on the enemies, RC-DS Remote Control Disc Ripper that tears the monsters aparts, Handheld Gravition Accelerator that blows them up like a shotgun, and finally PFM-100 Hydrazine Torch Flamethrower that burns the hell out of them.
You can upgrade weapons and your armor with nodes to improve your weapons accuracy and player's abilities.
You can also beat the crap of them by using brutal melee attack with your hand and stomp them with your boot.
You have abilities to use Kinesis module to drag and throw the objects, and Stasis module that allowing to slow down the objects and enemies.
This game has tons of scare factor with loads of scary atmosphere that going to scare your pants off, lots of violence with blood and gore spreading all over the place, and it is going to excite you with brilliant made levels, intense boss fights, and great puzzle solving with higher challenge.
If you're manly enough ready to play this game, then get this game on PS3, X360, and PC and ready to kick some asssssssssssss!!!
1 - Silent Hill
Silent hill is one of my favourite survival horror game for PS1. Konami did a fabulous job on this game, so there are reasons to like this game is because it is psychological horror game with disturbing ambient soundtrack, deadly imagery with gory looking levels, creepy looking zombies, and some mysterious ghost in the game that takes place between real life and nightmare. It has well written story because this game is about the guy Harry Mason have to search his lost daughter name Cheryl since it happened in the car accident, so he have to explore the mysterious town called Silent Hill.
This game has really intense horror schemes making the game more fearful and disturbing.
It has well made gameplay with dramatic third person view, great combat controls with precised melee weapons and fire arms, and some nicely made puzzles in the levels.
It has the best graphics ever made on PS1 because it has fantastic 3D enviroment with stunning character models, and foggy visuals effects that fits the game well,
It does have the amazing sound effects with perfectly made ambient sounds making it sound scarier and the atmosphere of the game is somewhat the most terrifying things in the game with deadly monsters and lot of disturbing content in the game by far the scariest game of all time.
