So it is no surprise to anyone that my পছন্দ horror game of all time Silent পাহাড় 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 শীর্ষ ten পছন্দ games ever? The answer is yes, and I just did.
Silent পাহাড় 2 follows James Sunderland, an awkward man who arrives to the town of Silent পাহাড় 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 দ্বারা any means. Silent পাহাড় 2 is a lot different from something like Resident Evil, at least in the later entries. It’s a lot আরো quiet, and the enemies don’t even resemble anything human. আপনি 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 আপনি still can’t help but feel disturbed. Everything about the monsters in this game feels so inhuman, and I প্রণয় everything about that. The environments are also really interesting. The town of Silent পাহাড় is always covered in this thick fog, so আপনি can’t see the monsters. All আপনি can rely on is your radio to warn আপনি when a monster is coming. But doing so brings the monsters toward আপনি as well, so আপনি gotta decide whether to keep it on to known when monsters are coming, অথবা 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 আপনি can find Eddie eating pizza, the Heaven’s Night club where আপনি just wander through this strip club with it’s own unique track, and the hospital, which slowly turns into a আরো screwed up version of Silent পাহাড় every সেকেন্ড আপনি 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 আপনি 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 সঙ্গীত of Silent পাহাড় 2. I know I talked about সঙ্গীত alot in this শীর্ষ 100, but I really gotta keep talking about it, especially Silent পাহাড় 2, cause it is easily my পছন্দ video game soundtrack of all time, up there with No আরো নায়ক 2 and the #8 on this list. It’s so atmospheric, mixing in slow, soft পিয়ানো music, with the industrial rock soundtrack, and the occasional mess of steel and metal that makes আপনি go, “What the fuck am I listening to”. The সঙ্গীত 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 দিন about the symbolism, the themes, and the beauty of Silent পাহাড় 2, but I already did that in a Corner of Horror article, so if আপনি want আরো details on it, go read that, please.
Silent পাহাড় 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 আরো 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 পাহাড় 2.
