Im like you I did not really play many horror games because I was not that into them but The few I played I was supried that I really really liked. Dead space, and the evil within are some of my favroite games!
I did not like alien isolation at all. I found it was to tedious lol. I am very interested in outlast but I am afraid I wont like it since you have no way to defend yourself. I recently got RE 7 so I cant wait to try that. I have never played any RE game.
I have never played a RE game as well. You should try Outlast as well as Outlast 2, both are great in my opinion. But be prepared to shit bricks.
I heard RE 7 was a really good return to form so I got it for a deal. Yeah I might try outlast at some point.
