Survival Horror - Next in line?

[midnitecarnival]

Just finished Alisa and Res Evil 7

In my backlog I have

Silent Hill Homecoming
Silent Hill The Room
Fatal Frame Project Zero
Res Evil 5
Res Evil 8
Res Evil 2 recent remake (played original)
Res Evil 3 recent remake (played original)
Res Evil 4 recent remake (played 4 HD about three years back)

Getting the best stuff out of the way, what would you suggest next?

If you want some more indie Survival Horror, Signalis and Crow Country are very good options.

Deep Fear on the saturn is a cut and dry resident evil clone, but I like the setting and it's actually decent voice acting aside.

The music is good too and made by the guy who did ghost in the shell stand alone complexes soundtrack.

RE 3 Remake is short and fun, something you can get out of the way quickly. I won't comment on how it compares to the original, which I never played, but it's fun on its own merits.

RE 5 is mediocre in my opinion and a disappointing follow up to the legendary RE 4.

I have played some of Signalis and it's very good.

There's also Dead Space, which is classic.

If you're looking for something not quite survival horror but still a fun horror game there is Until Dawn (the original) which is one of my all time faves.

The Chant is decent, silly fun. I never did finish it though.

Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 are absolutely worth playing. DC 2 was basically RE 4 before we had RE 4.

From that backlog I'd recommend RE2 Remake next if you want to go from best to worst, followed by either RE4 Remake or maybe RE5, then Fatal Frame.

Have beaten RE2 Remake about 30 times, so I'm going to have to recommend that one

Turbo Kid is right, RE5 is mediocre at best and is only even remotely interesting with a friend in coop. Even then, just play RE4 (or even RE6, which is pretty awful, but still significantly more interesting than 5--AND it has coop).

Some people say RE8 is really underwhelming, but I think it's awesome. It wears its RE4 inspirations on its sleeve and all of the major villains are inspired by classic horror movie tropes (Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc...). You'd be forgiven for not noticing, since they're so disgusting and creepy that it's easy to miss.

I know it's not in your backlog, but the Silent Hill 2 remake is also excellent. If you get a chance, I'd say give that a go, too.
