I'm in the mood for these kind of games now. Just finished Doom 3 and it's addons. Have played Dead space, just havent gotten around to the third yet. Alien Isolation is finished.

Any recommendations? I've probably played most though. Outlast 2 was one i couldnt stomach as it just seemed boring and... boring.

Also, was there recently released a scifi horror game? think it was made in russia if im not mistaken, but searching has yielded little results so i might be wrong.

Negative Atmosphere? Is that the Russian game? It's not out yet, they're still stuck in alpha it seems and no recent updates.

Play Dead Space 3 already, its fucking great.
Except for those 3 locked sections you can only enter in coop
And don't forget about the DLC, which is ok gameplay wise but completely ruins the story. Mad
But the main game is really great, its my favorite Dead Space I dare say.

There's also Pollen, Tacoma and Adrift but they're more scifi exploration adventures with little horror and action and you probably won't like them. (especially Tacoma Laughing )

You probably played Soma already, it is amazing but its underwater and not in space, still feels a bit scifi-y though.

You mad ? That game is totally broken even with patches. For example, The hangar, where you have to hold the massive xenomorphs attack until your team opens the fooking door ! Besides, nobody helps you. Died there couple of hundreds times. So, I gave up and binned it forever.

I was about to insta-suggest the mandatory SOMA, Alien Isolation, Dead Space 1, System Shock 2 and Prey 2017 but I see that they've already been taken care of.

When it comes to sci-fi another recent-ish addition that I found interesting and surprisingly captivating is Observation, though it's rather peculiar gameplay-wise. STASIS is quality as well if you like the isometric point 'n click adventure genre.

Narcosis is another sci-fi game that's under water, similar to SOMA, I guess. Controls are a bit awkward tho

A good reminder to always skip or swashbuckle gearbox games, Randy had his way with Sega, spent all the money on boredomlands and seemingly got away with no fucks given.

Nah, safe mode is just fine Very Happy hide & seek sequences are never fun anyway, and they kind of ruin the pace of the story.

Not space but subs, Barotrauma. They actually have an Aliens mod where those damn things break into your sub.

I'd also recommend Sunless Sea on that note. While not in space, obviously Razz , it's not that different from the sequel in gameplay. I personally enjoyed Sea a lot more too.

Well, I couldn't think of any other proper scifi+horror games that haven't already been listed besides Prey, Subnautica (although it's a survival game it's scifi and it's got horror elements as you progress deeper into the sea), Metro games (post-apocalyptic with some horror elements), Bioshock (plenty of horror although perhaps not in ordinary way) so I listed games that had sci fi elements and a dark atmosphere as well which includes Deus Ex, Riddick... Control is.. I love the game but it's difficult to categorize (which I like actually, it's different).
