So long story short, I'm a Survival Horror amateur. And a horror amateur. I'm the kind of guy who cowered in a corner while my wife played P.T., and the kind of guy who opted out of going to see IT in theaters with the rest of my friends. Needless to say I don't do horror so well.
But with Evil Within 2 out now, my interest in the genre is piqued. Stranger Things is one of my favorite shows and it has introduced me to some horror elements. But survival horror is a genre of game I've largely avoided, and I feel like I want to get into it and see what the fuss is about.
Is there a survival horror game I can try out that is an easy introduction to the genre? I guessed that the crappier visuals in the original PS1 RE games and Silent Hill games might make it easier for me to ease into it, as opposed to hyper-realistic stuff that immediately scares the hell out of me, like REVII.
Help me out ERA. I want to like horror!
