Ranking Every Silent Hill Video Game From Worst To Best

2012's Silent Hill: Downpour was the last major console release for the series and saw it bow out with a whimper, rather than the bowel-churning death rattle we'd hope for.

Downpour tells the story of Murphy Pendleton, a prisoner who manages to flee captivity after survive a nasty bus-crash whilst he was being transported to another penitentiary. As luck would have it, the bus just so happens to crash outside of Silent Hill, and Murphy is soon plunged into a waking nightmare that forces him to face many of his own repressed memories and reflect on the crimes he has committed.

Which as far as Silent Hill plots go, is a pretty darn good one.

However, despite a great premise, this game is pretty lousy all around. With bland combat, uninspired monsters, and a whole lot of aimless wandering, this title failed on all fronts to capture the spirit of Silent Hill and has since been forgotten.

It's certainly not as terrible as most claim it to be, as the story is fairly good and subsequent patches have fixed many of its glaring bugs, but Downpour is still a mere shell of what a Silent Hill game should be.
