I’ve been messing around with survival horror games lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started with Alan Wake 2, thinking it would be a good place to start. It’s got this heavy story, you know? Layers upon layers of narrative that just suck you in.
I spent hours exploring, solving puzzles, and trying not to get jumped by those creepy shadow creatures. The atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a knife. It really gets under your skin. I mean, the game fully embraces that survival horror vibe, which makes sense given its darker tone.
- The game’s inspiration from Resident Evil is pretty obvious, but it’s not a straight-up copy. It’s got its own thing going on.
After I finished Alan Wake 2, I moved on to Resident Evil. The games are totally different beasts.
- RE2, man, that one is tough. Navigating those areas is a real challenge. I got lost more times than I care to admit. And the enemies? Don’t even get me started. Let’s just say I used up a lot of ammo and healing items. It’s a solid horror game, full of unease and tension, exactly what I wanted.
- RE3, on the other hand, is more action-packed. It’s like they took the horror elements and dialed up the adrenaline. It’s a blast to play, but it’s not as scary as RE2, that’s for sure. RE3 is the one for pure action and adrenaline.
Honestly, I enjoyed both games, even RE3, but if I had to pick, I’d say RE2 just edges it out for the victory in my mind. As a videogame: R4 remake by far. I’ve heard people say that Alien Isolation is even scarier, so I might give that a shot next.
