Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Realistic visuals

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.

Soma

Dread and tension

A harrowing combat-free horror journey through a ruined deep-sea research station that confronts you with unsettling questions about consciousness and identity. Its philosophical story lingers long after the credits roll.

Penumbra: Black Plague

Dread and tension

A claustrophobic first-person horror game set in an underground research facility, where you survive through physics-based puzzles and hiding rather than weapons. Atmosphere and fear of the unknown matter far more than combat.

Fobia: St. Dinfna Hotel

Lots to discover

A first-person psychological horror game in which you explore a haunted hotel, solve puzzles and manage scarce resources. It blends classic survival horror with an eerie mystery story, made by a Brazilian indie studio.

Moons of Madness

Dread and tension

A first-person horror adventure set on a Mars research base, where you play an engineer solving puzzles while facing Lovecraftian cosmic dread. It focuses on atmosphere, isolation and story rather than combat.

Cold Fear

Shooting and gunplay

A survival-horror shooter set on an abandoned Russian whaling ship in a raging storm. As a Coast Guard sailor, you fight through tight, shifting corridors against mutated creatures.

The Thing

Dread and tension

As a squad leader in Antarctica, you fight a shape-shifting alien while deciding which teammates you can still trust. The trust and paranoia mechanics give this third-person horror shooter its tense, claustrophobic character.

Dead Space

Dread and tension

As engineer Isaac Clarke you fight through an infested starship, dismembering monsters limb by limb. The remake stands out with dense atmosphere, striking visuals and oppressive sound design.

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.
