Silent Hill 3 undoubtedly deserves its place among the greatest masterpieces in video game history.
Like its predecessor, Silent Hill 2, this game offers innovative and captivating gameplay mechanics. The player's 3/4 third-person view and original camera transitions give the impression of being watched by a surveillance camera, reinforcing a sense of insecurity throughout the game.
In addition, the non-intrusive puzzles and narration contribute to creating a singular atmosphere. As for the music, Silent Hill 3 leaves nothing to envy its predecessors; Akira Yamaoka, the soundtrack artist, has once again demonstrated his undeniable talent for reinforcing the game's exceptional atmosphere.
All this is built around a story that is rich in meaning, though difficult to grasp at first glance.
It's hard to rate this game anything other than the highest. 5/5.
