1. Silent Hill 2
Starting things off we have Silent Hill 2, the second installment of the Silent Hill franchise and by many considered to be one of the best survival horror games ever created. Silent Hill 2 was developed by Team Silent and published by Konami. The game was originally released back in September 2001 for PlayStation 2 but was ported to Xbox and Microsoft Windows a year later. Later in October 2022, a remake of the game was announced to be in development.
The events of the game take place in the titular town of Silent Hill located in Maine and mostly focuses on exploring the town’s backstory and the mysteries that the town is hiding. The player assumes the role of James Sunderland who is tasked with exploring the town while encountering various monsters and meeting some of the town’s residents.
When it comes to similarities with The Quarry, both games share the horror setting and the aerie environment, and scary monestrous creatures. However, The Quarry puts a larger emphasis on the story and player choices compared to Silent Hill 2.

2. Resident Evil: Village
Next up, we have Resident Evil: Village, a survival horror game that was released in May 2021 and a sequel to the 2017’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard game. The game was developed and published by Capcom and is available across multiple platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
The game takes place three years after the events of Resident Evil 7 and the player assumes control of Ethan Winters who is tasked with finding and rescuing his daughter amidst the village overrun by mutant creatures, ghosts, and other paranormal phenomena.
Resident Evil: Village brings most of the franchise’s key gameplay elements such as the creepy atmosphere, players being able to explore and scavenge their surroundings for ammunition and supplies, and resource management. However, unlike the Quarry, Resident Evil: Village is a lot more heavily focused on action and combat sequences which has left the Resident Evil fandom somewhat divided.

3. Resident Evil 4
While we are on the topic of Resident Evil games, we wouldn’t feel like this list is complete without mentioning Resident Evil 4. Released back in January 2005, Resident Evil 4 this survival horror game is by many considered to be the best entry in the franchise and one of the best games of its genre out there. Developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 and published by Capcom, the game was released on every major platform available, and due to its popularity, a remake of the game was released in March 2023.
Resident Evil 4 is set in a remote location in Spain with the player assuming the role of special agent Leon S. Kennedy.

While searching for Ashley, Leon discovers that humans in the region are infected by a mind-controlling parasite which only further raises the stakes of your mission.
Like the Quary and most other Resident Evil entries, Resident Evil 4 features a mysterious environment, full of dread and grotesque creatures, however, unlike the Quary, Resident Evil 4 comes with a heavier emphasis on combat and action and environment interaction instead of story choices.
