There are just so many great horror games some of which were quite revolutionary for gaming as a whole too but most of them aren't commonly thought of as being horror because of one particular franchise.

I love Resident Evil and without it I don't think horror in gaming would've been considered a thing at all, but I also dislike how 'survival horror' has completely muddied the waters and has skewed people's understanding of what it actually means, particularly the fixed camera tank control ones. I remember coming across some Reddit thread a few years ago asking if people considered Bloodborne a horror game and some of the answers said no because 'you're too powerful' but other posts correctly pointed out how they were obviously confusing horror with survival horror and I've seen that happen a lot myself over the years. Many people use the two terms completely interchangeably. For some gamers they also thoroughly believe that good action gameplay is antithetical to horror and it's primarily because of Resident Evil and Silent Hill too.
