As someone whose favorite Genre is Horror games, I gotta say this is a solid list with a lot of deep cuts. While mostly I'm sick of the Remakes and remasters that the games industry is all about, The exception to that is the Horror game remakes, SH2 was awesome, The RE remakes, Dead Space remake, and System shock have all been fantastic, I would love to see Condemned get that treatment, as well as some other Capcom Horror from PS2 era, and of course I want The Suffering, and Undying to get the remake treatment. Phasmophobia set off that Ghost hunting sub genre that there are a ton of on steam now, and in my opinion for as good as Phasmophobia is, there are games in the genre that do it better. Thanks ACG for the Video I always like seeing horror get more love.

Great list, gonna give Madison a try and RDR (somehow I missed out on the Undead DLC or thought it a storyless Horde-Shooter at the time). Best titles of the list to me are Alien Isolation (for recreating the full-on survival-horror of the 1st Alien movie and its immersion while still looking appealing in 2024) and the Dead Space Remake which I consider the paragon of what a remake should look like: true to the original, removing annoying parts, adding and improving some game elements, modern graphics and good performance (SH2 could have used some of that spice). Honorable mentions: Costume Quest 1&2 not exactly scary, but both in the spirit of Halloween, if you want a comic relief in between all these horror titles Indika - won't get weirder than that game

I absolutely adore The Last of Us. I've beaten the game 6 times and I still plan on doing another playthrough. It's my favorite video game of all-time. The PS5 remake takes an already solid experience and it makes it even better. Thanks to the PS5's hardware, the characters are able to convey emotions in a way that just wasn't possible when the game originally came out for the PS3. Dead Space is probably my favorite survival horror game of all-time. The game still holds up really well. Even at the time, the game's atmosphere, lighting, shadows, and audio design were top notch. They've been greatly improved upon with the remake. I remember playing the game for the first time and exploring the hallways and corridors of the USG Ishimura. It was eerie and creepy because I had no idea what was waiting for me around the next corner. I just recently picked up Alan Wake II, but I haven't played it yet. Control is another excellent game by Remedy Entertainment. The level design of The Oldest House itself is top notch with its brutalist architecture. The story is all sorts of weird, creepy, and eerie, but in a good way of course. The Ashtray Maze is easily one of the best levels in any video game. The cherry on top is the awesome music that plays while you're partaking in the game's intense and challenging combat. Thanks, Karak! As always, I really appreciate the hard work! Keep it up! God bless and stay safe!
