4. Resident Evil 2
Another Resident Evil game adaptation on the list. Resident Evil 2 is the modified version, both graphically and also story-wise, of the initial Resident Evil. The game focuses on the deadly battles of Claire and Leon with the undead of the Raccoon City.

This is one of the initial horror games that set the bar for the horror survival game development community.
To quote GameSpot’s 2019 review “Resident Evil 2 is not only a stellar remake of the original, but it’s also simply a strong horror game that delivers anxiety-inducing and grotesque situations, topping some of the series’ finest entries.”
5. The Last of Us: Remastered
The number in this list and the highest-rated game in the horror survival series is The Last of Us: Remastered. This game is loved for the powerful story of Ellie and Joel but the great attraction is the realistic display of the post-apocalyptic survival adventures.
US Gamer has said, “The Last of Us is about refinement, not innovation, and this version takes the art of refinement another step forward.”
Some honorable mentions are The Forest, SOMA, The Evil Within 2, Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: help wanted and Alien: isolation. Each one of the games in this list has what it takes to increase you pump up your heart rate.
