Silent Hill 1 is a great game that manages to evoke a deep sense of terror and desolation. It is able to achieve this through the atmosphere it creates with the visuals and its phenomenal soundtrack. The Fog that veils the town makes you give into the fear of the unknowing as you monsters can attack you from any direction, with only the radio being the only help for you to deduce where they’re coming from, making you use your senses to defend yourself against them. The Otherworld is a grimy, blood-rusted dimension that makes you feel uneasy as you traverse through it. The riddles in the game are great fun to solve as they are challenging. The story of the game is one of tragedy and not much is revealed to you til the end of the game which makes you really feel like you’re in the shoes of the Main Character. The Bosses in the game are quite short but disturbing design wise. Overall, the game is really impressive considering it was developed for the PS1 and really Is something special.

Good Ending achieved
