5 Horror Games that Inspired Resident Evil 7

Alien Isolation

The scariest thing about Alien Isolation is, of course, the titular alien. The thing that makes it more terrifying though is how it is completely AI driven, hunting you of its own accord. The same can be said for the Bakers, the unhinged family that serves as the major foil of Resident Evil 7. Not knowing how a sole, near-indestructible enemy will react adds a level of tension to proceedings.

No matter how many times you play Alien Isolation, it will still be terrifying. That’s thanks to the Alien itself. And, because Resident Evil’s Bakers stalk you in a similar manner, you never know when you’ll run into the deranged hillbillies.
