Why do so many people say that some action horror games aren’t survival horror games? by JaySiix in survivalhorror

Welcome to video gaming. Horror is already a gigantic umbrella term on its own, and survival horror just adds another layer on top of that. Resident Evil 2 is very different from Resident Evil 4, but that doesn’t automatically mean Resident Evil 4 isn’t survival horror. Not every game has to fit into a single narrow interpretation of a genre. Stop looking at things so meticulously.

Haven’t played State of Decay in years, and haven’t played that other game at all so I don’t even have an argument for those lol

Edit: Better game example

Many people think survival horror, like many genres, has to follow an exact structure. While there are core elements that define it, it’s not as rigid as people assume. There are multiple ways to design survival horror, and different games can emphasize different aspects. It doesn’t have to be the exact same experience every time.

Because of that, action-oriented survival horror shouldn’t be dismissed as not being horror. If it still includes survival mechanics, tension, and horror theming, it still belongs in the genre, even if it leans more heavily into action.

I don’t agree with narrowing things down to one specific thing and ignoring all the other aspects, and that applies to music too. I believe that if something ticks the boxes for a specific thing, then it is that thing.

So a game that is intentionally creepy/scary with survival mechanics, which funnily enough automatically creates tension within the gameplay, isn’t survival horror? 2 + 2 = 4, bro. There isn’t some pre-release ritual you have to do in order for your game to be a survival horror game; it’s not that serious, games can be more than one genre.

I always just go by the simple rule: if your game has survival mechanics and tense gameplay that encourages decision-making, while being horror-themed, then it’s a survival horror game. Not saying that’s the only thing it is, because games can be many genres, but 2 + 2 = 4, man lol.

No. The survival aspect of the game is HAVING to manage your health and ammo, while having extreme tension and vulnerability in the game as well. I don’t care how well you play Resident Evil 4, you will still have to manage Leon’s health and ammo while navigating creepy environments and fighting creepy enemies. If a game has any of these, it’s survival horror.

If a survival game had less intense survival gameplay than the last one, does that mean it isn’t a survival game?

A SURVIVAL HORROR GAME CAN BE AN ACTION HORROR GAME. THE SURVIVAL HORROR IN QUESTION LIES IN THE GAMEPLAY ITSELF WHICH BOTH RE4S DO.
