Always searching, looking for her

Silent Hill 2 might be one of the few games that has mentally screwed me up for months at a time. The first time I played it was a few days before my birthday and after beating it, I was more depressed to the point that I didn't eat for 2 days after beating it. After replaying it again during yet another possibly dark time in my life with health problems, I can see why this game made me feel the way I did.

Everything about this game is disturbing but not in traditional horror sense. The enemies take from body horror extremely well and the whole games envelops you in such a dread that tugs at the state of your actual mental being. The soundtrack is also one of the best gaming has to offer with an ambient and drone that further entrances you in the world of Silent Hill. The story is well written and extremely emotional which is something you'd never expect in a video game like this that I wish not to elaborate further on.

Only possible complaint is tank controls for some people but it doesn't do anything at all to detract from the experience.

Silent Hill 2 is a mastercraft of video game horror and the gaming space in general. I sound like I'm singing its praises a lot but it's honestly one of the few media related things that has made me cry in the end even when I feel like I've seen and heard it all at this point.

In my restless dreams,
I see that town
Silent Hill.
