Mine would probably be Silent Hill 2. The reason why I found it so terrifying is the balance they struck between the combat and the atmosphere. I don't know how to put it. Okay, I think I got it.
Silent Hill 2 is a good horror game for the same reasons that F3AR is such a piece of shit.
If that makes any sense to anyone at all. Okay, let me try again. You can't be scared if you're a walking death machine. Did that make even slightly more sense?
Probably not.
Look, in Silent Hill 2, you're weak. You're a human lost in a world of nightmares and terror. You're a squishy bag of blood that's quintessentially defenceless. Combine that idea with what is probably the most unsettling soundtrack I've ever heard, and you've got a damn good horror game on your hands.
In F3AR (*twich* why the three instead of an E *twich*), you're probably the best-equipped soldier this side of MARSOC. Even though I walk through the Valley of Death, I fear no evil, for I am the meanest motherf***** in the valley.
