Survival Horror

13 stories
Survival horror combines threatening environments with restricted resources, vulnerable protagonists and decisions about when to fight, flee or conserve supplies. Exploration, locked routes, puzzle solving and carefully controlled save or inventory systems often create pressure that ordinary action games do not seek.

The tag covers fixed-camera classics, modern over-the-shoulder releases, first-person interpretations and multiplayer variants while keeping their mechanical differences visible. Articles can examine enemy design, ammunition economy, difficulty, level structure, performance, remakes, preservation and whether each game sustains tension through systems rather than relying only on visual shock.
