I have no nostalgia nor reference point to Silent Hill or the PlayStation 1 in so I’m gonna have to take people’s word for it when they say this is the best ps1 horror game that was never made.
What I can reference is Madoka, and I kept thinking about Madoka as I played this. And man, it’s so fucking cool to play a game that knows exactly what it’s going for and basically nails it by all accounts. Yeah, most of the boss fights suck but it’s a testament to how well designed this is that I don’t care.
As for the story, it’s told in a way only video games as a medium can tell it. Go in blind, and interpret the events as you will. Boy, Madoka and Madoka Rebellion really are the best stories told in film and television, and SIGNALIS is up there with them. No better feeling than to play a video game that makes me love video games. A masterpiece.
