«Mika, how was your mental health this year?» In the last half of 2021 I replayed SH2 nine times. My therapist could probably recite the plot to you from how much I talked about it. It honestly felt much more unsettling playing it now than when I first beat it as a kid, but it was also.. comforting? I somehow reawakened my obsession with Silent Hill so bad that I started having dreams about it. On a serious note, I think SH2 is still one of the best examples of video games as an artform and storytelling medium. If you only ever play a single horror game in your entire life it should be this one.
