In the right hands, Parasite Eve could possible be one of the best horror games ever.Īn old-school survival horror that long faded into obscurity. Parasite Eve is one of those games that I wish would either a reboot, remake, or reimagining as I thought that it’s one of those games that are just too good to remain in the history books. The 3rd Birthday completely forgoed the horror elements of the franchise and turned it into a third-person shooter action game which was probably the final nail in the coffin for the franchise. Both installments have their own fans that get into heated arguments on which game was better. The first game was an interesting blend of survival horror and JRPG elements while the second was more inspired by Resident Evil’s fixed camera action while retaining some elements from its predecessor. Parasite Eve went through a number of reconfigurations after each installment.
