  Playing SH2 as a kid, I was always intrigued by the numerous references to Walter Sullivan, so I was delighted to see him made as the main antagonist in this game. I feel that there’s more than one link between James Sunderland and Walter Sullivan that will sadly never be expanded on or explored further due to the fan’s dismissal of SH4 and their obsession with James’s story and the overall psychological themes of SH2

  A thing I like about Henry is that he doesn’t have an emotional connection to the machinations of the plot; he’s just someone who got caught up in someone else’s plan. His presence is a hinderance to the antagonist that they didn’t account for. That even makes Walter feel more realistic to me, as he is only interested in meeting his mother, and this mistake is understandable for someone so single minded. <br><br>Henry reminds me of Harry from SH1 in a way b/c of his “wrong man at the right time” role.

  I&apos;ll never forget those floating ghosts in SH4. The fact they come out of the wall really scared me as a kid. This game really brought so much memories, and I still appreciate this game. Despite its flaws SH4 has.

  You perfectly illustrated how SH4 is indeed a Silent Hill game, through on through! We are just exploring the psychology of another victim of the order in an environment that is familiar to them. It would have been an interesting premise if we can explore the psyche of other order victims.<br>In a way, SH4 is probably the most terrifying, you don&apos;t go to Silent Hill, Silent Hill come to you.

  The ghosts gave me nightmares as a kid. Few games have captured that sense of dread from not knowing how to deal with the threat.<br><br>They turn up with little fanfair or explanation. Unlike other monsters, they seem unbound by rules when they phase through walls or by refusing to die. The ghosts even damage you by their proximity. Just when you think you&apos;re figuring them out, Cynthia and Richard&apos;s ghosts surprise you with their unnatural, fast movement.

  This game was absolutely horrifying. I’ve never played a game that scared me as much as this one. Really loved it. It’s one of my favorites of all time.<br><br>This game is a metaphor of birth. The room is a safe haven for the entire first half. It’s like the room is the uterus. The holes are a path and connections to the worlds accessible outside of the room. The umbilical chord. Then Walter’s realities outside of the room.. the cruel world outside of the room.. you feel safe in the apartment. Maybe even take time to relax in there and feel safe from everything dangerous outside of it. Then the reality of the outside world starts to set into the room. Slowly turning it into a nightmare. The hatred and cruelty becomes the apartment, thus, the nightmare begins to spread everywhere. <br><br>It’s a horrifying experience indeed. I have a lot more I could say about this game, but I would be typing forever.
