A bit surprised by the middling score here. Granted, it’s not the most accessible game (you probably want to play it on DOS through GOG if you can), and its nature can leave you going back and forth on the train trying to find out what to do a good amount. Still, there isn’t much else like this, and I continue to vividly remember nearly every character. Artistically, it was and remains a treat. I find something new every time I play it.

My GOAT. To paraphrase Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw’s Silent Hill 2 review: This isn’t just a game I think is good. This is a game I replay periodically to remind myself why gaming is my favorite medium of art. Also has the single most affecting button press of any game, ever, at the end.
