15 Overlooked PS4 & Xbox Games You Need To Stop Ignoring

11. The Evil Within 1 & 2

The current horror landscape is enamoured with first-person perspectives and in-your-eyes jump-scares, but to be honest... Resident Evil 4 was onto something timeless with its over-shoulder camera and action-based setup.

The Evil Within is RE4 Director Shinji Mikami's first shot at horror since then, and the game's chainsaw-wielding goons and mist-caked villages are emblematic of it being a spiritual successor. From here though, the Matrix-esque "everybody's connected to a shared dreamscape of nightmares and memories" setup allows for the craziest creatures Mikami and his team have ever devised.

They're all great fun bringing down with a shotgun that kicks like a cage fighter, but its the sequel that up-ends horror design as we know it.

Taking an open-world design template and making gaming's first "open world horror", though it only happens in two specific spots, having jump-scares, secrets and set-pieces spread across a world of stealth and contemplation makes for one hell of a change of pace.

Come for the old-school controls and creature-feature enemies, but stay for the playful expansion of what horror as a genre can do.
