This is probably one of the most impressive games I've played for the PS1. The atmosphere was as dense as the fog and created an amazing vibe. For a PS1 game, the actual town of Silent Hill felt like a real and familiar town I could visit. The puzzles were really fun to solve without a guide too, I had a notebook next to me the whole time.
The only thing that didn't super work for me was the story. It was, to me, a very generic cult plot that wasn't that well told. It also may be unfair to make this comparison since it's literally a later release but as someone who started with SH2 the story just didn't do anything for me. It's not a bad plot by any means, it just didn't stand out. For the record I finished the story with Good+ as I knew about the red fluid from a friend.
