Though it seemed for a good decade or so that survival horror games were well and truly dead, the genre has enjoyed a resurgence the likes of which we couldn’t have imagined even in our wildest dreams these last few years.
The survival horror genre has entered a new golden age and has seen a string of excellent releases, with many more still to come. With so many great new additions having lifted the genre to higher highs than ever before, we felt it’s time to take of stock of where things stand right now and reassess the best of the best it has ever had to offer.
So here, that’s exactly what we’re going to do, as we count down the fifteen greatest survival horror games of all time in our estimation, as things stand right now.

GREAT LIST!
This guy has no idea what survival horror is
Also check out;Fatal Frame/Project ZeroHaunting groundClock tower 3CallingObscure
I think The Evil Within 2 was problematic in many ways. The first game wasn’t perfect, but it was definitely better than 2.
Resident evil 2 for PS1 is the best ever
Where is Fatal Frame II? Where is Clock Tower (SNES)? What is Dead Space doing on the list? It is not even remotely scary.
Shame, shame, shame 6:26 you used SH2 HD collection.
Dying Light 1 deserves a spot. Not that it’s particularly scary, but the zombies are so well designed, that no matter how threatening, they’re always scary and intimidating. Gets your heart rate up…
The Evil Within > The Evil Within 2
Sorry,I love TLOU2 to death but it's NOT a survival horror game by any definition.
If re2 remake had kept the zapping system and had a consistent story it would have been perfect. It's the only reason I think the deadspace remake is just above it.
Cool games, but Has anyone heard of Muller Powell's game? Little information about her.
Fatal Frame?
Alien Isolation was tedious garbage. Absolutely hated it.
Wtf? Tlou2 at #3 and Re4 at #4? What’s wrong with you?
Nice list of one of my favorite game genres if not my favorite but disagree with the top spots. I feel like the original RE2 remains the pinnacle of the series along with REmake. As great as RE2 remake is, it leans a liitle bit more towards action plus it's missing the true A and B paths the original had.
The thing on original Xbox and PS2 was a amazing survival horror game
Resident evil 2 better than 4? That's a joke
Resident Evil….
One reason….. that dam giant baby in the hallway
No Alan wake ?
In my opinion The Evil Within 2 isn’t even horror. That game was just a weird family drama with stealth-focused gameplay. The first game was a lot more challenging and tense than the sequel. Also the first game’s DLCs were way better than 2 in terms of story.
Videos like this is exactly why I miss being able to see dislikes
I preferred the 1st Evil Within tbh.
Silent Hill 2 in freaking SIXTH? Is this a joke?
People really need to learn a difference between:Survival horrrorAction horrorand a Horror game.Like i can't believe some1 still calls RE4 or Dead Space a "survival horror ". They are not and never will be survival horror. They are ACTION horror. And they are great, just call them for what they are. Not to mention some of the other titles on this list.
Not a single fatal frame game in this list? No Onimusha games?

When did Last of Us become a survival horror? That’s like calling Alan Wake 1 a survivor horror

Soma stays with you! Alien isolation is a great game, the first time I saw the alien I was terrified.

Condemned is a fantastic game, but it's definitely not survival horror. But I am one of 'those guys'
I'm playing Ghostwire tokyo now….. I'm so disappointed Tango didn't make Evil Within 3 instead. Great games, they need to bring it back
Remake, reamake and remake..
Not an impressive list choice frankly. Afew good picks in there though.
If you could only pick one entry per series to make the list more varied, id go, in no particular order,

SH2
Alien Isolation
The Suffering
Dead Space Remake
Outlast
Amnesia
Manhunt
FEAR
ZOMBI
Condemned
Dying Light
The Thing
