SURVIVAL HORROR (RESIDENT EVIL)
We know, we know- Resident Evil is not the first survival horror game. It took a lot of cues from Sweet Home and Alone in the Dark. But though it was not technically the first of its kind, it was the game responsible for popularizing the survival horror genre. Because what it did with the elements that it brought together to craft its unique experience was unlike anything else any other game had done before. Atmosphere, horror, level design, puzzles, exploration, and more combined in a momentous package that single-handedly helped coin the term “survival horror” and pushed the genre itself into the mainstream.
