have you never played the original silent hill games? some of the songs off the soundtrack are enough alone to put you on edge. to this day no game has managed to beat those first 4 games in terms of sheer dread for me.
if you've never played either series you're in for a wild ride dude. altho i recommend you skip everything after silent hill 4 and maybe don't pay too much attention to Resi 5 and 6 but outside of those two mainline resident evil is entirely worth playing.
silent hill 1-3 are masterpieces. half of 4 is as well.
the good resident evils are as follows:
RE 0
resident evil (remake)
RE2
RE3: Nemesis
RE: Code Veronica
RE 4
and
RE 7
RE 5 and 6 aren't very good.
Thing is, resident evil is usually a bit more than serviceable. hell most of the series is comprised of certified classics so when they released two mediocre game in succession they felt a lot worse than they were. plus 5 makes you play with tank controls with the analog sticks. it won't let you use the D-pad which is fucking disgusting.
