10 Exceptional Horror Video Games That Deserve A Comeback

10. Blue Stinger

Blue Stinger is a survival horror game that doesn't play by any of your rules, it's a rude crude dude with an attitude and dropped on the Dreamcast way back in 1999. The standout feature of Blue Stinger was that instead of forcing the player to run from enemies at every given opportunity, here you were punching them in the face!

Take that evil! get back in my nightmares where you belong! It was kind of like if Nightmare Creatures went on a tropical holiday, featuring a blistering color pallette, cheesy dialogue, and MMM MM MM exceptional...ly terrible character designs.

Arguably there are two versions of this game in existence, the Japanese original, and the North American port, the latter of which removed the fixed camera angles that Resident Evil had popularised and gave things a traditional behind the character viewpoint. For many this completely changed the tone of the game, from a classic survival horror into something more resembling an action game. To be honest, the change is not something I like as the idea of running headlong into an enemy offscreen is always a nice little jumpscare, but considering the game's approach to combat, it arguably plays better in the port.

Either way for how unique it was to be able to batter mutated creatures, the ability to swap characters at any point, and for its over-the-top tone, this is a title that could make waves given the right care and attention.
