I was thinking this while playing the new system shock remake.

Any game where you can counter or kill even like 50% of your enemies isn't going to be horror, just an action game with creepy enemies.

I think weapons can work in horror games, they just have to be last resort. Only useful in certain situations, not a garuntee to get you out. Think stealth games like MGS, but without the option quiet takedowns.
