Also, I realize this pushes the definition of "retro" a bit, but I want some games from that era in the poll. You can omit them if it bothers you. 6th gen is a little different than most of the other games, but still wanted a few of them

The game's getting close to twenty years old (I know saying that is gonna freak some people out) & the sixth gen basically ended in 2006, which was twelve years ago; I'd say both the game & the sixth generation in general qualify as retro.

true. I guess it seems different since they remaster everything on new consoles and PC. Seems like a different era than 80s/90s for sure. I'm also getting older :(

One of the best games of all time. Not even close
---

one of the GOATs
---

I need to replay this
---

The HD remaster is considered worse, correct?
---

I'm gonna get a lot of flak for this, but I really wasn't too impressed by SH 2.
I thought that 1 and 3 were infinitely better, but I have been meaning to replay it.

this needs more votes

I didn't finish SH1, was too antiquated for me

Love this game tbqh
---

Everyone should play SH2.

One of the greatest games of all time

Kinda sad that it took 14 or so years for people to realize

Yes.

The HD Remaster is a glitchy mess with less fog and less details.

Reason being is for some reason they didn't have the source code for the finished game and so the HD remaster is actually a remaster of a late Beta version.

If you can, get it on the original PS2 or PC.

Solid 4/5. I don't love it as much as a lot of people do but still greatly enjoyed playing it. Great game, shame the remaster was bad.
---

4/5. Definitely a good game and a good Silent Hill.
