The fog of Silent Hill swallows the town, and a letter from a dead woman draws you in.

Chosen on instinct, it edges out 97% of games. And the details explain why. What you'd dream of rediscovering untouched: nearly at the very top, ahead of 99% of titles. The art style ahead of 96%, the soundtrack ahead of 94%. You get attached, you lose yourself, well above average. Only one line collapses: the feel in your hands, right at the bottom, ahead of barely more than a third of games. That's the gap a 2001 classic carries: its handling has aged, those stiff controls weigh on it against today's standards, while its atmosphere hasn't wrinkled a day.

In psychological horror, few games leave as deep a mark through mood and unease. Here the discomfort is a work of art, not a cheap effect.

So, who's it for? For you if you want an experience that haunts you long after, a fog and a score that linger. A lot less if controller comfort and snappy movement come before everything else.
