Brings what grabs you about The Thing: Remastered: dread and tension, a dark atmosphere as well as good 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.

Dead Space

Sci-fi setting

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: Revelations

Dread and tension

A survival-horror shooter set aboard an eerie luxury liner, mixing claustrophobic exploration with scarce ammo and chapters that switch between characters. The HD version brings the handheld adventure to consoles and PC with improved visuals.

Doom 3

Sci-fi setting

A grim first-person shooter set on a Mars research base where hell breaks loose. Cramped, pitch-black corridors, jump scares and scarce resources make it feel more like survival horror than the fast-paced classic Doom.

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.

Dino Crisis

Sci-fi setting

Capcom's survival horror classic sends agent Regina into a research facility overrun by dinosaurs. Scarce ammo, puzzles and relentless raptors keep the tension high throughout.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

Dread and tension

An intense first-person shooter that pairs slow-motion gunfights against smart AI soldiers with unsettling supernatural horror centered on the vengeful Alma. Mech sequences and movable cover add variety to its tightly paced, linear scares.

F.E.A.R.

Dread and tension

A first-person shooter that pairs explosive slow-motion firefights against remarkably smart enemy AI with unsettling psychological horror built around the eerie girl Alma. Its destructible gunfights are still held up as a genre benchmark.

Resident Evil 0

Realistic visuals

This prequel to the original Resident Evil sends you through a train and a gloomy estate with two characters you can swap between at any time. Scarce ammo, puzzles and fixed camera angles deliver classic survival horror.

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.
