I played the original silent hill for the first time without knowing anything about the series and i think i am missing something.

The gameplay was obviously clunky but still enjoyable using savestates. My problem comes from the fact that it wasn’t really scary (probably because i don’t get scared easily) and from the story. When i reached the ending i was very interested in knowing what was going to happen, only to be faced with a basic bossfight without much information about the story (bad ending).

Then i checked the wiki and apparently there are multiple endings whose requirements are not explained in game (or at least it seems so).

Is it worth replaying the game using a guide to see the other endings or should i just watch them on YouTube?

And why is it considered a masterpiece?

    Like with most games hailed as masterpieces of their time, you’d have to have experienced it when it was new and novel to really appreciate what it offered at the time. It wouldn’t seem new and novel years later when a ton of games took inspiration from it and duplicated much of what made the OG great.
