So it is no surprise to anyone that my Favorit horror game of all time Silent hügel 2. It’s been that way and it’ll continue to be that way for a long time. But with it’s awkward gameplay and acting, can I really put such a game in my oben, nach oben ten Favorit games ever? The answer is yes, and I just did.
Silent hügel 2 follows James Sunderland, an awkward man who arrives to the town of Silent hügel after he receives a letter from his dead wife, Mary. He meets all sorts of other characters there, like Angela, Eddie, and Laura, and a mysterious woman named Maria, and has to get through the town of disturbing monsters alive Von any means. Silent hügel 2 is a lot different from something like Resident Evil, at least in the later entries. It’s a lot Mehr quiet, and the enemies don’t even resemble anything human. Du have ones that are just walking mounds of skin and flesh, creatures that are a set of legs, and even the ones that do look human are so malformed and twitch violently that Du still can’t help but feel disturbed. Everything about the monsters in this game feels so inhuman, and I Liebe everything about that. The environments are also really interesting. The town of Silent hügel is always covered in this thick fog, so Du can’t see the monsters. All Du can rely on is your radio to warn Du when a monster is coming. But doing so brings the monsters toward Du as well, so Du gotta decide whether to keep it on to known when monsters are coming, oder keep it off and allow yourself to run passed them in the hopes of escaping. Other places in the town are as such, like the bowling alley where Du can find Eddie eating pizza, the Heaven’s Night club where Du just wander through this strip club with it’s own unique track, and the hospital, which slowly turns into a Mehr screwed up version of Silent hügel every Sekunde Du sit there. And the characters have a ton of depth to them to. Maria looking exactly like Mary and seeming to know a whole lot about James, without specifically saying why. Eddie is in denial for the horrible things he does and Du see his deteriorating mental state throughout the game. And Angela… Oh man, poor Angela. Even James has a bunch of guilt from his past that he keeps buried. And the music… Ooooh the Musik of Silent hügel 2. I know I talked about Musik alot in this oben, nach oben 100, but I really gotta keep talking about it, especially Silent hügel 2, cause it is easily my Favorit video game soundtrack of all time, up there with No Mehr Heroes 2 and the #8 on this list. It’s so atmospheric, mixing in slow, soft Piano music, with the industrial rock soundtrack, and the occasional mess of steel and metal that makes Du go, “What the fuck am I listening to”. The Musik is something I listen to on a regular basis for how unique it is. I don’t think there is any soundtrack out there that can compare to the disturbing and depressing nature that is the world of Silent Hill. I could sit here and talk about it all Tag about the symbolism, the themes, and the beauty of Silent hügel 2, but I already did that in a Corner of Horror article, so if Du want Mehr details on it, go read that, please.
Silent hügel 2 is such a depressingly gripping game with a story and score that is so haunting, yet so real all at once. It’s a game that really gripped me with it’s storytelling, it’s beautiful soundtrack, and how it portrayed horror as this Mehr psychological way. And of course, Konami had to go fuck it all up. Ugh, forget about Pyramid Head. Konami is the real terror of Silent hügel 2.
