This list is always going to be under construction (Stalker is a good call), but I’m on the fence about Silent Hill. There’s a specific vibe to this I’m trying to curate that’s hard to articulate, but Silent Hill and Gears of War for example are gory but don’t fit. They’re almost too pleasing? In a way?
Oh yeah I get what you are saying. I too find Silent Hill visuals calming at points, I just mentioned it for the type of series it is ans certain moments it has, but if we are talking about games that are plain disgusting as a whole yet that adds to the experience, Silent Hill doesn't entirely fall in there. Stalker tho, is so goddam oppressive and scary at points, I love it.
