In the weeks leading up to PAX Prime, Penny Arcade’s premiere symposium in Seattle, the summertime drought had folks leaning hard into the sporadic releases of independent games. The term “drought” may be popular to describe the lull, however perhaps a bit hyperbolic. I’d compare that to someone who has already had breakfast and lunch and is “starving” come dinner. The indie games and surprise hits of this summer may not have been marquee titles, but left us happy and entertained. If you weren’t trying something new and or out of your comfort zone, maybe you loaded up Divinity:Original Sin, Shovel Knight, or Valiant Hearts to name a few. Whether you fancied what was on the plate or not, what was served undoubtedly scratched itches and kept most of us relatively calm.
The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.
I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.
Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.
Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.
silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.
for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.
No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.
These are some of the greatest games similar to Blasphemous to play while waiting for the much-anticipated Blasphemous 2.
The all-new Everyone is Here Again Bundle packs roguelikes Risk of Rain 2, Dead Cells, and more. All told, you will get all five games for 51 percent off their normal prices.
