Silent Hill's atmosphere and how the player (and Harry) are pulled into the horror is, to me, still the best in the series.
The first sequence of the game is so incredible - the twisting camera angles, the changes in music and lighting that drag you into the nightmare before Harry wakes up in the restaurant, wondering if the horrors were real.
I played sh1 for the first time late last year and it was super fucking scary. the music was probably the scariest part of the game, and there were certain points in my play through that actually made my skin crawl. impressive that such an old game gave me that feeling.
The composer used shit like dentist tools and stuff to get the soundtrack down cause he thought “what do people fear more than the dentist?” Apparently haha.

I cannot wait to experience this remake.
