Horror video game franchises don’t get much better than Silent Hill. The survival horror game burst onto the scene in 1999 taking the scares in video games up a notch while maintaining the fun action-survival style players had come to expect for games in the genre.
Set in the titular New England town of Silent Hill, in its first rendition the player controlled Harry Mason, a man searching for his missing daughter before stumbling upon an Asceticist cult. As the franchise would grow players would take on the role of new characters but one consistent thread would be the spooky town where strange occurrences have taken place.
There hasn’t been a new Silent Hill game in quite a while with the latest coming for the PlayStation Vita handheld console back in 2012. Despite this lack of new content, there is still plenty for players to explore and try out for themselves.
