18 Best Survival Horror Video Games Of All Time

11. Until Dawn

An out-of-left field release back in 2015, Until Dawn was transformed from a gimmicky PlayStation Move title into a full-blown game, delivering an exceptional horror experience that nobody expected to be worthwhile.

Tapping into the teen horror sub-genre - one not seen in video games since high-school slashing PS2 gem, Obscure - chances are your first playthrough will be completely different to anybody else's. It's built for replayability as you attempt to make every character survive the slasher flick-esque ordeal, and with the narrative also being framed as a set of flashbacks, there are a number of ways you can 'customise' various elements depending on how you describe they took place.

A really innovative take on the genre; one more cinematic than most, but one that perfectly encapsulates the stereotype-fuelled fun of teen horror.
