For a game released in 2001, Silent Hill 2 is one of the earliest video games to have a thought-provoking, complex, and emotional story. I've played this game more times than any other game to the point where I longer feel scared of it. When I first played it, it was definitely terrifying having monsters that have a tragic symbolism relating to the playable character and his late wife.
The game not only looks good to this day, but it's controls never aged badly. It's riddles are complex and it's difficulty can be challenging. The music is also the heart of the game with Akira Yamaoka composing the entirety of the game's soundtrack.
To this day, I can play this game without getting bored of playing. It's not just one of my favorite video games on the PS2, but one of the greatest games I ever played. Silent Hill 2 is also the most important game in video game history that brought the survival horror genre to the mainstream. Many other horror gaming franchises look to this game as an inspiration and it's no doubt that this game will become timeless for years to come.
