Harry Mason wakes after a car crash to find his daughter gone and the town of Silent Hill swallowed by fog and snow. As he searches, the world peels away into a rusted nightmare version of itself. It turned survival horror toward the psychological and the strange.
Kit's verdict · 8.4/10
The blueprint for psychological horror, still creepy under its PS1 roughness.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- The Otherworld is unforgettable

Not so much

Play it if horror fans who can look past old graphics for atmosphere.
Skip it if players who can't stand PS1-era controls.

Tips
Play it better
- Keep the radio on; its static tells you when monsters are close even in the fog.
- Turn the flashlight off to slip past enemies when you don't need to fight.
- Most monsters aren't worth killing; run past them in the streets to save ammo.
- Check the map constantly, since Harry marks blocked roads and locked doors on it.
- Save whenever you see a notebook save point; it's a long way between them.
