At least we got some indie games still keeping the fixed cam horror genre alive, there are some very nice ones last 4-5 years. Tormented Souls, Crow Country, Signalis, Heartworm, etc.
Signalis scratched the void in my heart that Silent Hill 2 left. I love how, similar to Silent Hill, Signalis understands the value of silence and how sometimes less is more in creating atmosphere and tension.
Played it a year ago and its a criminally under-the-radar game. More people should defo experience the game.
I loved this game. I dont know why that's in past tense, maybe because I likely wont play through it again, despite the run-time. Near everything is so immaculately intentional and that clears comes through to you as the player. I loved the "mystery", I love the heartfelt moments, I enjoyed the PS1 aesthetic, I adored the sound design.
Parent context: Signalis is dope. The PS1 art style made me feel like a kid again. Reply: Yeah the exploration and finding your way around annoyed me but the atmosphere was peak.

Unfortunately, I didn’t like Silent Hill 2. ... In terms of gameplay, I thought it was bland. ... Nevertheless, I thought they really nailed the Fog and the disturbing atmosphere. ... However, like I said, this game just wasn’t for me. (7/10)

Worth checking out the original as well! I think it's better (but I also grew up with that).
Silent Hill 2 is one of the best horror games ever created. I'm playing through the remake for the first time but the OG is so good.
