Action is a component that can be present in survival horror games. I mean, I don't know how you qualify it, but Resident Evil 4, for example, is widely-regarded as a survival horror game. There's plenty of action to be found in it, and the game isn't scary.

True, but for smaller or new studios its a good way to fund them just like you would give them money for a kickstarter lending money for games. For franchises who allready exist its a very stupid move in buying it, but new ips from new studios its a good way to support them for sequels and new games.

best horror games since dead space 2

I dont think so, it has all kinds of traps there and ammo is very limited. Its called survival horror after all and the evil within takes the survival apsect more than the horror one, thats what i can tell from what i have played so far

How this game even managed to pass 2 mil is a mystery to me.

I dont understand why it sold so well.....No offense, i just dont. Alien Isolation deserved so much more. Amazing game.  Really want a sequel

I remember when Dishonored sold 1m Bethesda was shouting its success and thanking its fans saying it just created a new franchise.  Now Evil Within supposedy tripled that and they don't say anything.  Definitely weird.

Alien isolation has many weakpoints, the characters for example are very boring and unintresting, you encounter countless people which will die 5 minutes later. Even the main characters, like the original crew arent easy to recognize during the game. The evil withins main characters are pretty clear and their character design all different.

Why not? It has good graphics, some of the best i would even say for multiplats

this game was being sold for $20 on amazon just over 1 month after release, then i saw other sales in stores and on steam. I don't know if that is over shipping or what but i rarely see a game fall that fast.
