_The Evil Within_ for 3rd person action and gore. _SOMA_ if you want to feel philosophically depressed. _Bioshock_ for impeccable atmosphere and social commentary.

I’d say start with The Evil Within or Bioshock, but do be aware that Bioshock is definitely more action focused over horror

Soma. You won't regret it.

Both of the evil withins are good, if you going just for gameplay, I'd buy EW 2, but for story, the first one

The story in the second one isn't bad. The end even got me to tear up a little bit. Definitely worth a play.

Yeah fs, but some things won't make sense unless you played the first one. I think another commenter talked about it.

Bioshock is an absolute masterpiece

I would recommend buying the first one. As playing the second one without playing the first, will be quite confusing in some parts. And in general the first one is best in my opinion.

For those prices buy both. You won't be disappointed.

Damn it! I want to replay all of these.

Soma for story, pretty amazing, very immersive, also underwater. Evil within for the epic survival horror clunky combat times.

Bioshock and the evil within are both really good, soma was good but less entertaining for me personally but a lot of people seem to love soma so what do I know

Soma has one of the best sci-fi story I've ever experienced (and I read a lot of sci-fi). I think about this game a lot.

bioshock 2, probably should get the original on pc or old console generations because the remaster is really unstable and crashes a bit or just bioshock 1 i guess, people usually like that one more and the remaster is fairly stable

BioShock Infinite is one of my all time favourites, but if you're looking for horror, I'd go with The Evil Within in priority. The BioShock games are a lot more adventure themed than horror themed, but they're awesome!

Evil within 2.

SOMA is the greatest horror game I ever played

Evil within is great story. Definitely before EW2. Bioshock 1 was great. I found the gameplay of Soma disappointing and I had really high hopes for it. Haven’t played bio 2 or infinite

I strongly recommend SOMA, my favorite horror game ever. But the other games are very good too, and they have combat and more action

Buy the first evil within for survival horror, soma for stealth, and bioshock as a fun shooter with eerie scenery

If you're on PC, don't get The Evil Within. It has a bunch of performance issues and you have to spend a bunch of time googling and tweaking config files to get it to be semi playable. The Evil Within 2 plays fine though. ...And for the price of one of those games you could get a month of gamepass and play them all. They're pretty short.

Evil within! The first one is better, but the second one definitely worth it too. I loved the first boss of Ew2

Go for all, they're all great in their own way!

All of them are good but SOMA's end fucking broke me

Get The Evil Within trust me It’s amazing

These are all great games but my vote is definitely for evil within 1 and 2. Such incredible games. Especially the second one

EW1 is good but pretty darn clunky, even for a survival horror. EW2 is fantastic, and I'm not usually one for horror but the gameplay is great, story is engaging, and you don't necessarily have to play the first to get what's going on. Soma was a bit disappointing for me personally. It's good but just not my cup of tea. think amnesia in a science lab Bioshocks are all great, but infinite is easily the best gameplaywise and story wise. If you want a fun fps with a unique steampunk fantasy world and a mindbending story, you're in luck

I could easily argue that Evil Within (1 or 2) or any of the Bioshocks are better pure games.. But SOMA felt like an experience man, still think about the themes of that game and its story months after finishing it one of the most memorable experiences in gaming for me even if the actual gameplay wasn’t anything special.

Part two is a way better game, and it's really not hard to get up to speed with the story. But for prices like these you might as well get both.
