Resident Evil 4
HORROR CENTRALITY
79 /100

Resident Evil 4 is built around survival horror: scarce resources, tense encounters, and player vulnerability are integral to progress. While it contains action and shooter gameplay, the core experience relies on fear, suspense, and survival pressure rather than being an action game with horror as flavor.
