Dead Space is easily one of the best horror trilogies of all time, even after the somewhat disappointing release of the third game. The first two games in the series feature a perfect balance of horror and action, which — coupled with the amazing immersion in these titles — makes for a one-of-a-kind experience. Fans of clever horror titles count these games among their favorites.
Given the unique nature of these titles, it's only a given that players would seek out more horror titles in the same vein. Keeping this in mind, here are a few amazing horror titles like Dead Space that will scratch the itch most fans will feel after finishing off this incredible game.
10 The Evil Within 2
Shinji Mikami's legacy with the Resident Evil series is the stuff of legends. Players who want to see this revolutionary director at the helm of another great survival horror series should definitely check out The Evil Within.
While the first game had a lot of unfulfilled potential, the second game definitely ironed out most of these kinks. The end result is a surprisingly fun survival horror title that will keep players on the edge of their seats throughout.
9 Resident Evil 2 Remake
The Resident Evil series took a dip in quality around this time, with Resident Evil 6 serving as perhaps the lowest point of this once-critically acclaimed series. However, Capcom realized their faults and have strived to improve the latest titles in the Resident Evil series.
One need only check out the quality of the most recent Resident Evil games to understand just how impactful the resurgence of this franchise has been. Resident Evil 2 Remake is perhaps one of the best examples in this regard, and the perfect game to try out for fans of Dead Space.
8 Alien: Isolation
For a long time, the Alien franchise was woefully underrepresented in terms of good video games. Thankfully, Alien: Isolation changed this in the most resounding fashion.
It might not feature any shooting gameplay, but fans of Dead Space's creeping horror will feel right at home with Alien: Isolation. The Xenomorph that chases Amanda Ripley features an advanced AI that molds itself based on player behavior, which is perhaps the most chilling part of the overall experience.
7 BioShock
While BioShock might be a more action-heavy game, there's no denying the horror chops that this title boasts as well. The isolated and haunting locale of Rapture is easily one of the scariest places ever featured in a video game.
Roaming around these halls and uncovering the mystery is easily the biggest appeal of BioShock. Players should just be wary of the various scares that can haunt them at every step of the way.
6 Prey
Most gamers consider Prey to be a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, which speaks volumes of just how brilliant of a title this really is. The isolated halls of the Talos I spaceship will make Dead Space fans reminisce on the times when they roamed the halls of USG Ishimura as Isaac Clarke.
While Prey might be a bit too reliant on jumpscares at times, it's still a great immersive sim that's worth anyone's time. Any fan of science-fiction horror titles with a fair bit of action should definitely give Prey a shot.
5 SOMA
While this title might not feature action-heavy gameplay, SOMA's setting and atmosphere will make fans of Dead Space feel right at home. Frictional Games has constantly been at the forefront of delivering immersive horror experiences, and SOMA is no exception.
The story of this game is easily its strongest — and most surprising — aspect. This mind-bending tale about identity and consciousness is bound to generate discussion.
4 Bloodborne
Bloodborne might not be the first game that comes to find when talking about games like Dead Space. However, one can't deny that the horror-inducing atmosphere of this game is executed brilliantly.
Of course, it helps that Bloodborne's gameplay is brilliant and makes for a massive highlight of the overall experience. Players who get used to the fast-paced combat of this title will find themselves enjoying one of the greatest video games ever made.
3 System Shock 2
System Shock 2 is a classic title, and one of the best immersive sims ever made. The sci-fi horror present in this game is in a class of its own, and it's easy to see how Ken Levine was inspired by this title while creating BioShock.
SHODAN is easily one of the most iconic video game antagonists of all time. She hounds the player at every step of the way through this unnerving experience, and is one of the major reasons people still remember this title to this day.
2 Metro Exodus
The Metro franchise was one of the most underappreciated horror FPS titles ever made. The first two games in the series are notorious for their tough gameplay, scary encounters, and chilling atmosphere that fans will remember long after they finish this title.
The third game in the series, Metro Exodus, finally brought some much-needed mainstream attention towards this series. Now, fans can finally try out this trilogy, and understand why so many people count it among the best horror-action titles ever made.
1 The Last Of Us
Most gamers consider The Last of Us to be a pure horror title, but there are certainly elements of survival horror in this title. The emotionally charged tale of Joel and Ellie has its fair share of scares peppered along the way, which will catch any unassuming gamer by surprise.
The tight gameplay of this series is one of the major reasons why most gamers adore this title. Dead Space fans will feel right at home with this over-the-shoulder shooting gameplay, coupled with limited ammunition and resources that make each encounter a nail-biting experience.
