>>62874The best horror game of all time is the original Silent Hill - this might sound dumb, but it's a genuinely underrated game due to being so overshadowed by the (barely) inferior Silent Hill 2.
<Silent Hill 2 is absolutely incredible as well, and deserves all the praise it gets. Do NOT play the new Silent Hill 2 remake. It is so much shittier and objectively worse than the original game in every possible way. In my opinion, it's actually a good IQ litmus test. I've never seen an intelligent person with good taste who's liked, let alone preferred the remake.
<Silent Hill 3 is worth playing, but it is drastically inferior to the first two games. The story is beyond shit, it's actually mind-bogglingly bad. It's a "sequel" to the first game the same way that Tumblr fanfiction is a sequel to whatever works they're based on, that is, it's incompetently written and directly contradicts/retcons important plotpoints. The benefit is that it makes it very easy to not let it taint your perspective of Silent Hill 1 though. The gameplay and art direction is really great, just like the first two games.
