Platforms: Xbox Series X, PC, PS5Kicking off our list of games like Resident Evil is Dead Space Remake, a third-person survival-horror game set in… well… space. Creepy monsters are scary enough, but when you have to deal with them in the blackness of space, the horror is amplified.

It updated the fixed camera angles and tank controls as popularized Resi while offering a distinctly horrific, tense atmosphere of its own, making it an instant classic. The remake pushes these factors further still, turning the necromorphs into the stuff of true nightmare fuel but never deviating from the harrowing heart of what Dead Space is. The Ishimura is as iconic as the RCPD, the plasma cutter as beloved as Leon’s Matilda pistol…we could go on, but I’d rather you just play the thing and see what makes it so great.9.
