Silent Hill 2, as a game released in 2001, stands the test of time as the best psychological horror in gaming, if not, all of fiction and media. James, Angela, and Eddie's depictions of their own separate ways of coping with their mental illness, along with the masterful art direction of Masahiro Ito, the symbolism, ambience, and emotion poured into this game leaves any player ragged and rough by the end. A narrative masterpiece, a tearjerker, and most importantly, one of the greatest games of all time.

Final Rating: 4.9/5
