The genres these 5 picks have in common, straight from their store data.

Ranked by player rating, Metacritic breaks ties.

1
Resident Evil 2
ActionAdventure
The remake that got the balance right: tighter, more frightening, and Mr X never stops walking.
4.5/5Player ratingMC91View game
2
Resident Evil Village
ActionAdventure
The direct sequel in spirit: a village, a merchant, and a set of houses that each try a different way to scare you.
4.4/5Player ratingMC83View game
3
Dead Space
ActionAdventure
Same over-the-shoulder tension in space, with dismemberment as the core mechanic rather than a flourish.
4.3/5Player ratingView game
4
The Evil Within 2
ActionShooterAdventure
From RE4's own director. Semi-open areas, scavenged ammo, and a monster or two you won't forget.
4.1/5Player ratingMC82View game
5
The Callisto Protocol
ActionAdventure
The most brutal of the lot — melee-led, gory, and best played with the lights off and expectations set to spectacle.
