18 Best Survival Horror Video Games Of All Time

2. Resident Evil 2

Despite the various advancements Resident Evil would make over the years - the over-shoulder camera, going first-person - the quintessential ingredients of survival horror were perfected way back in its first sequel.

Taking the characterful charm of the original and bolstering it with far better graphics, a perfected balance of terror and action, iconic monster designs and exemplary environmental puzzles that require just the right amount of contemplation, there's a reason RE2 has been a firm fan-favourite ever since launch.

Luckily, Capcom are finally applying the remake treatment in 2017 too, hopefully meaning the revamped version will solve the 'issue' of outdated graphics, whilst upping playability all-round with better movement and aiming options.
