14 Incredible Video Game Stories You'll Never Stop Discussing

9. Silent Hill 2

The main reason Silent Hill 2 is always met with great adoration and love from fans is down to the multitude of theories that reside around the internet as to what happened with character James Sutherland's wife. A slow-burn tale rife with mystery, the signature trait the first two games did better than all was that palpable sense of isolation - the notion of needing answers from an unknown place, and having to fumble through the fog to find them. Today although the HD re-releases of the older Silent Hill games don't do them justice thanks to some shoddy work in updating their textures, the story itself is still a devilishly dark one where nothing is as it seems, and the plot itself is expertly delivered before whacking you over the head with some gargantuan reveals near the end.
