It’s a good time to be a fan of the genre. Remakes and reboots abound, and the indie sector is churning out new IP at quite a pace. The last few years have seen both new and old survival horror games succeed critically and commercially. A greater emphasis on action and multiplayer in the late 2000s (with games like Left 4 Dead and Dead Space 2), saw the genre begin to decline.įortunately, this was only a temporary state of affairs. A slew of “Resident Evil Clones” cemented survival horror’s place in the hearts of gamers worldwide. The genre’s golden age was during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Survival horror games have seen their fair share of ups and downs over the years.
