Silent Hill 2 is a very atmospheric survival horror. The plot of the game

I recommend it to all lovers of the classics!

Probably the best part of the series: excellent plot, thoroughly developed characters and a unique soundtrack. Despite the outdated graphics and awkward controls, the game still excites due to its unrivaled atmosphere.

A unique psychological horror, but not a masterpiece, as many people think.

Best psychological horror. At first, the graphics seem outdated because I replayed it this time on PS2, but the art design, cutscene direction and Yamaoka’s soundtrack create such an incredibly thick atmosphere that you forget about the graphics. Overall, it's a masterpiece.

Do you like quests? I love them! They have a special charm that is not available in other genres of games. It's always nice to play with one mouse and a mug of tea by your side. They do not require a reaction and do not punish for inaction.

I perceive Silent hill precisely as quests that have acquired a three-dimensional space.

Even outdated graphics and clumsy controls do not spoil the overall impression of the game.
