Survival Horror· 21 Jun 20268.3

Survival Horror· 20 Jun 20269.0

Silent Hill 2

You were the studio nobody trusted with this, and you walked out of the fog with a near-flawless remake instead.

You dropped the sanity meter, handed me a noisy generator, and built the scariest thing in years out of silence.

Survival Horror· 20 Jun 20269.5

Resident Evil 4

You took the game everyone already called perfect and somehow gave the perfectionists a reason to apologize.

Survival Horror· 20 Jun 20269.0

You took a corpse EA left floating in space and reanimated it better than the Necromorphs ever managed.

Survival Horror· 20 Jun 20266.5

The Callisto Protocol

You had the co-creator of Dead Space, a prison moon, and a gorgeous engine, then handed players combat that fights back the wrong way.

Survival Horror· 20 Jun 20268.5

Survival Horror· 20 Jun 20268.0

SOMA

You wrote a horror game that haunts you with questions about consciousness long after the monsters stopped being scary, which is exactly the problem and exactly the point.

Survival Horror· 20 Jun 20267.0

The Evil Within

The father of Resident Evil came back to teach the genre a lesson, then spent half of it teaching you to hate the letterbox bars.

Sally roasts more than monsters. Drop yours.
