Most horror games I've seen either pile on so much gore that it stops being horrific and becomes almost comical, or they're so dark and overly shadowed that I can't see what I'm supposed to be afraid of in the first place. Or they rely too much on jump scares, which also gets old.

Pretty much this. Not a fan of Dead Space for that reason. Resident Evil, I'm fine with everything up to RE4. RE5 was...bleh. RE6 I really only liked Leon's side of the game. RE7 was a gigantic no from me, RE8 was the same. Though Silent Hill 2 is my personal favorite among horror games, but that's because it goes full psychological horror on you.

EDIT: On another note, you guys notice how suddenly a bunch of people came back outta nowhere on the forums? I went from seeing maybe 1 person on ignore every few days to suddenly seeing 7-8 people I had on ignore appearing again at the same time.

As for me, if Capcom ever made an action RE where you play as unarmed Wesker beating monster to death, it'd be the first and last game i ever preorder.
