Few games will ever be as adept at making you feel how it wants you to feel. From the true eeriness of the town and the abandoned locales, to the depths of emotions you get walked through as James descends further towards the truth of what is happening here. The final section invokes such strong emotions I don't think I could ever forget it for the rest of my life. While this review isn't nearly as eloquent as I want it to be, there will never be enough words to encapsulate this type of experience, and I find a certain beauty to that. A true survival horror triumph, an unequivocal masterpiece, Silent Hill 2 is firmly placed as one of the greatest games of all time.

Silent Hill is without question one of the most incredibly immersive games i’ve ever played, with its mix of a horrifying atmosphere supported by a brilliant soundtrack to back it up and classic untouchable survival horror gameplay the game is a struggle to put down as you try and unravel what is exactly happening in this town. Even with its flaws like the emotional beats marred by the wooden voice acting, and puzzles that feel a little too abstract for my pea sized brain, I felt the general experience was, unsurprisingly, an incredible time. Truly a beyond special video game that I feel everyone should experience.
