All I know is TLOU2 can't be it, because you have to actually empathize with the main character and want them to survive, and not go out of your way to intentionally kill them for laughs at every turn.

RE4 is still the goat, but dead space and re2r do horror better.
I didn't find last of us that great. *raises shield*

But the enemy types is what offers variety. Enemies in TLOU2 might offer variety in how they attack, but one might value enemy types over just two enemies that attack in multiple ways. Most of TLOU2's enemies can all be killed the same way. That's not the case with RE4R. Enemies have different weak points and optimal ways to defeat them without consuming too much ammo.

I never really found TLOU games scary at all. In terms of horror, RE4 destroys them IMO. What makes TLOU great games is their narrative strengths and character building, which RE4 doesn't do best.
For my personal tastes, I'm more of a gameplay guy, so I like RE4 better than TLOU games, but I love all of them.

On pure gameplay terms, on harder difficulties of course.
Control fluidity and animation - TLOU2
Mechanical Freedom - TLOU2
Encounter Design - TLOU2
Encounter Variety - RE4R
Gameplay Pacing - RE4R, TLOU2 has much high aspirations with it's story meaning it needs to take charge every once in a while
Peak Intensity during regular combat - TLOU2
Resource Balancing - RE4R slightly, TLOU2 very good here too on harder difficulties, it's also a harder game to balance because of less bullet sponges + stealth
Out of combat gameplay - RE4R
Bosses and Setpieces - RE4R, again TLOU2 very good here too, but RE4's wackiness allows it to do more without worrying about realism, same can be said about it's out of combat gameplay.

TLOU2 and it's not even close, all that sequence leading up to the Rat King is a horror masterpiece through and through.

For me, The Evil Within. Bullets feel limited, and one missed shot can spell the difference between life and death. The gunplay in it and The Evil Within 2 are still unmatched imo. Especially in the first game...the whole partial headshot/full headshot system is genius. Also, the game is dripping in atmosphere...visually and musically, which is important for a survival horror game

Horror tps ? RE6, gameplay is superb!
RE4r has great combat, but overall the Original is better
TLOU only fits in a "most woke" games poll, nothing more than that.
Looks like im trolling, but im NOT, it's the price to be yourself, just my opinion!

Nonsense. All you can do in RE4 is kick, shoot and parry. In the OG version, you cant even move and shoot at the same time lol.
How is that, in any way, more varied combat than TLOU 2? Ellie is a super soldier in comparison to Leon. And lets not even mention Abby. Again, all you can do with Leon is kick and duck.
Im shocked at how the "gameplay is king" types cant recognize how TLOU 2 combat is in a league of its own in this genre.
TLOU2 combat is way more free flowing, gives you way more options in encounters, has more verticality, and is just frankly better.

Survival Horror (most are TP anyway) the winner for me would be Silent Hill 3. Wanna talk about a dark, twisted, intelligent, concise, focused Sequel with great visuals and music/sound design that can be completed quickly and has replay value, fire up the original SH3. Probably my favorite horror title.

Re2 remake is still the best modern survival/action horror games of the last decade
EverydayBeast
thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Resident evil and last of us are two different things, the hbo show has been incredible for the game. The resident evil movies are absolute trash.

Because you are only facing a few different enemy types the whole game! You have a larger move set, but the amount of time spent actually using it is a fraction of the time compared to just wandering around. RE4 is virtually all combat, loads of enemy types, more weapons, loads of bosses and different areas that impact how you go about engaging them. its also more spooky. TLOU isn't even trying to be that is it? TLOU2 in pure gameplay terms wasn't much different from the first game. You could duck... I guess. I couldn't believe that lack of enemy's variety and how similar a lot of the combat situations were.
It's not "better" in any definable way. You just prefer it. And don't get me wrong, I still play factions and enjoyed both games, they're great. But RE4 takes it in terms of gameplay and atmosphere for me.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
RE4 is easily the best game on the list, 'horror' tag notwithstanding.

RE4 Remake
The enemy variety and bosses and pacing put it well above TLOU...not to mention even the looting is way better since you can see where it is and there's less of it that you have to scavenge
ND just doesn't have a whole lot of breadth when it comes to their gameplay variety and it brings their games down a bit. TLOU even has the opportunity for a wide variety of combat/enemies/bosses but they just stick with mostly the same tried and true outside of a few rare exceptions

I would love for Naughty Dog to heavily lean into their horror element and make a full blown horror game...they showed glimpses of what they can do in TLOU2
