Comment on Could you explain to me why you like silent hill 1? (Spoilers)
atotayo@lemmy.zip 1 month agoI only recently started playing older titles with the original half life and i guess that put my bar for masterpiece a little too high. I still consider it a good game, probably i would have appreciated it more when it came out.

Half-Life arguably suffers from success more than any horror game. Everybody ripped it off, to the point its innovations can feel cliche. Like Aliens. Fortunately it’s put together well enough to remain viscerally engaging, and the ridiculous aspects are mostly deliberate. And, bitrates aside, it still sounds incredible. Sound design is more than half of what conveys atmosphere.
