As Silent Hill 2 celebrates its 25th birthday, we look at what makes it such a standout in horror and why we're still talking about it today.

For whatever reason Silent Hill 2 is the only one that appealed to me (even thought there were gameplay elements I thought were distracting), I haven't played Silent Hill 1 though.

Did you play 3? If so, what did you think of it?

I will be honest, I haven't played it, but it didn't seem like my cup of tea from what I've seen.

Fair enough. It's certainly a bit of a departure from 2, and the story is not as strong IMO.

To be honest, I like horror games mostly for the themes, atmosphere and storyline (with some exceptions), I don't mind "classic" survival horror mechanics, but I prefer if it's more of a survival horror x RPG hybrid or there is big focus on the story.
