I'm playing through the Silent Hill 2 remake and I think I like it better than the OG.
It has a real sense of heaviness that I think the original...well, not lacked, but didn't pull off this well. I find myself turning the game off just because it's so unrelentingly oppressive. I'm not just using that as a synonym for difficult (it's kinda easy actually) or scary (I don't scare much when playing games). They really excelled at just....making the player feel like you are in a bad, upsetting place.
