A great horror game that mostly holds up to this day. Took me some time to get used to the tank controls, but it eventually became second nature. The game doesn't rely too much on jumpscares and lets the atmosphere do the work. However, it tends to pull some cheap shots on you with the enemy placements towards the later parts.
I prefer the second game in terms of story, but the very first outing in the town of Silent Hill still managed to impress me with its masterfully composed spooky vibes.
