If you ever see an article listing the greatest horror games, and it doesn't feature Silent Hill 2 somewhere near the top, then that article is objectively wrong. Silent Hill 2 isn't just one of the best horror games ever made, but also one of gaming's greatest masterpieces. Silent Hill 2's horror isn't based around jump scares and cheap shock tactics. This is horror that gets under your skin, the kind of fear that doesn't quite come to surface but lingers in your memory for months to come. The game explored the deep, dark depths of the human psyche, tackling the kind of taboo subjects that games up until then had never looked at in a mature way before. Subtle but deeply terrifying, Silent Hill 2 is a work of narrative genius that far surpasses the majority of horror media in any form. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk7JkSArEdQ What's the scariest game you've ever played?
