PS1-PS2 dönemine yetişememeden dolayı, kaçırdığım pek çok büyük isimden biriydi Silent Hill. Nihayet, yıllardır aklımda olan bu seriye de giriş yapabildim. Ve bu oldukça da güzel bir giriş oldu.

Harika ses dizaynı, harita görselliğini dinamik ve tutarlı bir şekilde değiştiren muazzam atmosfer, çözmesi hiç de fena olmayan bulmacalar ile oynaması gerici ve eğlenceliydi. Takdiri hak ediyor.

Tabi, özellikle tank kontrolleri sağolsun; oyunu oynaması tek döktürdü. Teknolojinin canı sağolsun, özellikle de save state'in. Ayriyeten 2. oyunun övgülerini düşününce bundan da bir sürpriz beklesem de, maalesef hikayeden kayda değer bir şeyler çıkaramadım. Arka planda ilgi çekici bir şeyler var gibi sanki, ama oyunda olmadığı kesin.

Neyse, siftahı yaptık sonunda. Bakalım daha neler göreceğiz.

Dancing on the ashes of the world,
I behold the stars.
Heavy gale is blowing to my face,
Rising up the dust...
Barren lands are desperate to blossom,
Dark stars strive to shine;
Still remember blue ocean,

In this dying world...

"This is the story of a man named Stanley.

Stanley work in a company in a big building, where he was employee, number: 427. Employee 427's job was simple; he sat at his desk in Room: 427 and he pushed buttons on the keyboard. Orders came to him through the monitor at his desk; telling him what buttons to push, how long the push them and in what order. This is what employee 427 did every day of every month of every year. And although others might have considered it soul-winning, Stanley relished every moment that the orders came in. As though he have been made exactly for this job. And Stanley... was happy.

And then one day, something very peculiar happened. Something that would forever change Stanley. Something he would never quite forget. He had been at his desk for nearly an hour, when he realized that not single order had arrived on the monitor for him to follow. No one had showed up to given him instructions, call a meeting or even say: "Hi." Never in all his years of the company had this happened; this complete isolation.
Something was very clearly wrong. Shocked, frozen solid Stanley found himself unable to move for the longest time. But as he came to his wits and regained his senses, he got from his desk and stepped out of his office."
