Excellent story, excellent graphics, excellent setting, excellent sound, excellent music, excellent characters, excellent puzzles.
Few games deal with horror so intimately, and know how to tap into sexuality without displaying mindless obscenities. Silent Hill 2 doesn't need jump scares to scare, excessive gore, or sex to be called "adult." It simply manages to reach the depths of the player, conveying feelings of loneliness, nostalgia, melancholy and of course, intrigue. It is a horror game, but the most vulnerable side attacks us: that of our hearts with a pulverizing story; and that of our psyche, presenting us with a constant intrigue that will keep us glued to the game.
