✓ Both are first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and adventure storytelling
≠ Where it differs: brings horror tension, puzzle design and strong narrative focus, while skipping roguelike runs
The reset that pulled the series back to survival horror: first-person, confined to a single decaying Louisiana estate, with scarce ammo and a family that hunts you through it. The Baker house section is among the best horror the series has produced. After you leave it the game becomes far more scripted and linear, and the boss design is the weakest part of the package.
Released 5 years after ZombiU.

✓ Same family of first-person shooters: shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere
≠ Stands apart with horror tension, strong narrative focus and ranged combat, while skipping adventure storytelling
Wider environments and better lighting than the original, with the slow-motion shooting mostly intact and a mech section that breaks up the pacing. The AI is noticeably less sharp than in the first game, though, and the horror leans on jump scares rather than the dread the original built. Competent, rarely surprising.

✓ Fits the first-person shooters cluster, with shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere
≠ Where it differs: brings horror tension, strong narrative focus and ranged combat, while skipping adventure storytelling
A conventional military shooter wearing Quake's skin: corridor combat with heavy weapons, at its best in the mid-game once the Strogg conversion sequence gives it a hook. Level design is repetitive metal hallways for long stretches, and the squadmates who accompany you do little beyond soaking damage and opening doors.

Its enemy AI is still the reference point twenty years on: soldiers flank, suppress and call out movements, so firefights unfold differently each time. Slow-motion makes that legible instead of trivial. The horror sections have not aged as well — the same office corridors repeat for hours, and the scares telegraph themselves long before they land.
