10 Landmark PlayStation Games That Changed Your Life

4. Resident Evil 2

Although it pillaged Alone in the Dark for all it was worth, Resident Evil raised the bar for survival-horror gaming and its sequel went a step further by unleashing its true potential.

Striking an effective balance between thrills, chills and shooting zombies in the face, Resident Evil 2 ditched the claustrophobic mansion and pitted players against a t-Virus-ravaged world.

Everything from the puzzles to the pacing was an improvement on the first game - Capcom rewrote the manual on how to craft an effective sequel with this one and kickstarted the survival-horror pandemic.
