20 Most Critically Adored Horror Video Games Of All Time
9. Silent Hill
Rating: 86
Constantly linked and compared with Resident Evil, Silent Hill actually offers a remarkably different brand of survival horror to Capcom's premier series.
Loaded with psychological terror and disturbing moments, Silent Hill is far more effective at getting in the player's head and scaring them from the inside out. Visceral shocks and jump scares are common in Resident Evil but Silent Hill prefers to leave the player in a constant state of dread and unknown.
It works beautifully and it's why the series is so highly acclaimed; the foggy, desolate streets of Silent Hill are not easily forgotten.
