Ranking Every Silent Hill Video Game From Worst To Best

After three highly successful and critically acclaimed entries, the devs of the fourth Silent Hill game were under intense pressure to deliver yet another knockout product. They were faced with a dilemma: should they deliver more of what people loved, or throw caution to the wind and offer a brand new experience that could possibly alienate their fan-base?

Thankfully they chose the latter and this resulted in Silent Hill 4: The Room, a truly strange and nightmarish experience that stands apart from its predecessors, yet still embodies all of the hallmarks that make a Silent Hill game both terrifying and impossible to resist.

This does come with something of a caveat, however, in that The Room is a little bit sloppy in the gameplay department, offering up the clunkiest of clunky combat and an over-reliance on escort missions. These elements do make it one of the most divisive games in the series, but there's no denying how outright terrifying it is in places.

A much darker story and a heightened emphasis on the surreal make this the most 'out-there' game in the series, which given how incredibly strange Silent Hill is in general, makes this one well worth playing through in spite of its flaws.
