In recent years the genre of horror games It has had a very good resurgence. Titles like the great Alan Wake IIthe remakes of resident Evil and Dead Space They show that there is still room for survival horror in today’s market.
Now that we are facing the possible return of Silent Hill with the remake of its second installment, we started thinking about other forgotten series that made our hair stand on end at the time. This is why we bring you this top 5 horror sagas that deserve their return in any way possible.
The horror games that must return
Dino Crisis Give us more prehistoric horror games, Capcom!
Maybe Capcom says that we already look like a broken record but it’s the truth. Dino Crisis is a game that definitely deserves a comeback. Whether with a remake in the style of those of resident Evil or with a completely new delivery. We also know that we are not alone, because in a recent survey conducted by the company, fans indicated that it was the series they most wanted to see back. Although for now there is no information about a possible return outside of its addition to the PS Plus classics.
This game was like a resident Evil but with dinosaurs instead of zombies and other monsters. The result was a fairly unique survival horror that even became two sequels. Although the last one practically killed the franchise because of its crazy idea of going into space. It’s just not higher on this list because, although it had horror game elements, The reality is that it was an experience that leaned a little more towards action. Even so, we do not stop asking Capcom to take it out of its prehistoric tomb for the love of its gods.
The Evil Within
Although the first The Evil Within fell short in several aspects, its sequel became one of the best horror games in recent years. In addition to giving us really scary and creative enemies, it put us in a fairly explorable environment with scares around every corner. Of course, these deviations were always worth your time.
For years, fans have been waiting for The Evil Within 3. However, this return seems somewhat difficult after the closure of Tango Gameworks by Microsoft and its subsequent acquisition by Krafton. Although Tango was revived, the rights to this horror IP remained with Microsoft. So it will depend on them if Sebastián Castellanos receives another memorable adventure or if he only remains in our memory.
Clock Tower was one of the first horror games and it’s time for it to return
Clock Tower is one of the older horror game series on this list, but no less worthy. From a beginning as point and click adventures it evolved into a survival horror title with quite innovative ideas that other titles adopted with great success. Its gameplay always focused more on fleeing from its fearsome enemies rather than facing them. We could even say that it was a precursor to titles like Outlast and in a way Alien: Isolation.
Our protagonist did not have any weapon and could only flee from the different nightmares that roam around. Besides, Clock Tower 3 introduced a panic meter mechanic which, when filled, caused your characters to behave erratically, which also stressed you out as a player.
Since 2002 this series has not had a new installment and as we mentioned, there are already several horror games with similar mechanics that worked very well. So with the trend of bringing the dead back to life, perhaps it’s Clock Tower’s turn to get a new chance to shine.
Parasite Eve
With Parasite Eve we once again found a quite unique horror title, as it very well combined typical survival horror elements of the time with RPG characteristics. In them we take control of agent Aya Brea who faces various creatures mutated by something called neo-mithochondria in an experience that the media of the time considered a great combination between resident Evil and final fantasy.
The first title was followed by a couple of sequels. In fact Parasite Eve II It is considered the best delivery since it refined all the details of its unique gaming experience. Unfortunately the third game was not as well received when it came out in 2010 as it went entirely into a third-person shooter.
Some critics at that time claimed that Parasite Eve It feels very cinematic and was also quite terrifying. So a return of this series on the current generation of consoles could be a great success. Especially after seeing the excellent remakes of resident Evil and Final Fantasy VII. Can you imagine a horror title that combines both gameplays.
Fatal Frame
Fatal Frame is another of the great horror game series that emerged at the time of the PS2 and that also gave us a very peculiar way to confront its demons and specters: a camera. In these video games we do not have firearms or melee weapons, but rather the camera obscura which has the power to harm all aspects of the game. But it doesn’t all stop there.
The angle, the framing and the proximity we have to the ghosts when we take the photographs greatly influences the damage we inflict on them. The most brutal attack is the Fatal Frame which forces us to take photos of the specters right at the moment they attack us. So be prepared for a lot of jump scares if you want to get out alive.
The atmosphere and its gameplay make the Fatal Frame very terrifying games that would greatly benefit from current technology. Unfortunately since 2014 they seem missing outside of some remasters. So go buy them for a chance to see them shine again.
Yes ok Silent Hill and resident Evil They monopolize the attention when it comes to horror sagas of yesteryear, this list is a sign that there were other equally worthy experiences at the time and that they must return.
