There’s something about seeing the Game Over screen in Silent Hill 3 that makes me dread continuing more than any other game. Many years later and now I’ve finally got to it and beaten it.
SH3 is mostly excellent horror with that unmatched oppressive atmosphere and deep dark symbolism only really found in the first 3 Team Silent games. The Otherworld Hospital and The Chapel can be grouped amongst the most eerie and unsettling areas of gaming. Akira’s soundtrack and sound design is incredible, and its OST is just as good as SH2. So impressive visually running on the PS2. I’ve learned that selecting hard mode is no joke, especially in the later half against bosses if running low on resources. (41 long hard minutes to kill the final one). I would strongly recommend normal or lower difficulty unless you know what you’re doing.
