Silent Hill’s fogginess is synonymous with PlayStation to us. From the blocky terror of the original on PS1 to the more sinister and complete designs of Silent Hill 2 on PS2 – these consoles can immerse us in our worst nightmares as much as delight us.
And we're not alone. Silent Hill 2’s mature story and truly psychological horror were for many the introduction to how deep games could go. So well-judged is it, that even revisiting it now – wrangling tanky controls – the trick still works. It’s great.
