Silent Hill 2 (2001 Video Game)
10/10
Had to put my thoughts into words...
23 January 2019
Wow, I adore this game. I just recently finished this game, but I think it may be my favorite game of all time. Whether it be through emulation, the PC edition with the enhanced mod, an old ps2, (anything but the HD Collection, really) I urge EVERYONE to play this game. A game that, on the surface, is an effective atmospheric horror game, has one of the best stories I've ever experienced. Filled to the brim with symbolism, as you walk through the town of Silent Hill, you begin to empathize with James, the main character, unsure if what you're seeing is actually real or a product of the imagination, while also becoming more and more detached as more is revealed. James is one of the most tragic characters I've ever seen, and as you continue through this story of pain, depression, and guilt, what originally was thought of as an ordinary man becomes increasingly dark and bleak. The ability to tell this depressing and complex tale so effectively with such a little amount of words is nothing short of an accomplishment. A story of pain, guilt, depression, and pain. Please pick this one up anyway you can, as long as it isn't the HD collection.
