20 Most Critically Adored Horror Video Games Of All Time
17. Resident Evil
Rating: 91
This will come as a shock to no-one but the original Resident Evil received immense critical acclaim when it arrived way back in 1996 - it did birth the survival horror genre, after all.
The spine-tingling atmosphere, ingenious puzzle design and restrictive gameplay elements have turned Resident Evil into a gaming classic, voice acting aside, of course.
Funnily enough, the average score for the PlayStation original and the GameCube remake are identical, although the recent remastering of the REmake is probably the best way to experience this horrifying masterwork.
