✓ Both are first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and survival mechanics
≠ Where it differs: brings horror tension, adventure storytelling and puzzle design

≠ Stands apart with combat magic, melee combat and fantasy world
Released 4 years after Resident Evil: Dead Aim.

✓ Same family of first-person shooters: shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere
≠ Where it differs: brings adventure storytelling, puzzle design and strong narrative focus, while skipping survival mechanics
A short follow-up focused almost entirely on Alyx as a companion — the AI and dialogue work is what it was really testing, and it holds up. Roughly four hours. It is the slightest of the three: much of it is dark corridors and elevator sequences, and it functions more as a bridge than as a game in its own right.
Released 3 years after Resident Evil: Dead Aim.

✓ Same family of first-person shooters: shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere
≠ Where it differs: brings puzzle design, adventure storytelling and horror tension, while skipping survival mechanics
The strongest of the Half-Life 2 releases: open forest driving, the best encounter design in the series, and a Hunter fight that remains a high point of enemy AI. Roughly six hours. It ends on the cliffhanger that was never resolved, which for many is harder to sit with now than it was in 2007.
Released 4 years after Resident Evil: Dead Aim.

✓ Both are first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere

✓ Fits the first-person shooters cluster, with shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere
≠ Its own twist: ranged combat and melee combat, while skipping survival mechanics
Build-engine shooting from 1997 with the sprite work and level secrets that implies: dense, maze-like maps built for exploration rather than corridors. The weapon set is inventive. Its humour is dated and often crude in ways that land badly now, and the level design assumes patience for hunting switches most modern players lack.
Released 10 years after Resident Evil: Dead Aim.
