Only one I can think of is Bioshock tbh.

There are some RPGs that trump it imo, but obviously the scope in those games is much larger. Xenogears, for example. timeline is over 10k years, insane political, philosophical, sociological themes and twists and turns and JRPG-isms.



But on a personal, psychological level, the plot in SH2 is fucking unrivaled.

Bioshock really might be the best video game story. Not only does it have a remarkable story, characters, and setting, it manages to tie it into the gameplay so tightly I think it's legitimately perfect. Infinite is really good too. I wish there were more story games that had satisfying gameplay too but companies like telltale and walking Sims seem to be the only games recently that can have a worthwhile story.

I looooove Bioshock, but I think the setting is so powerful that it covers up some typical tropes in the Bioshock story. Its still top tier, obviously, but this and a few others just nudge it imo.

My perfect remedy makes a return. I can’t but long for this when shit plagues my brain.

They restocked it recently. Better than the second hand prices I've been seeing

its not that expensive tbh. I got the standard black version for £22 I think. I prefer it on cd though

It’s staring me in the face but £40 on a vinyl is marginally worrying spending behaviour.

Not to say that the album doesn’t deserve it though, my review for it has been rewritten and deleted at least 10 times..

Instrumental reviews are hard to write for me. I know I love this but it'd be hard to me to pinpoint why this works so well. Its unique, experimental, atmospheric, and unnerving.

The right combination of words simply elude me when describing an album that lays *this* close to my heart. Silent Hill 2 has always been and always will be a safe space I can retreat to.
