I have never played any of these and I need to rectify that. I started Elder Scrolls with Oblivion. I even own RDR2.
Comment on How Silent Hill 2 Changed Horror Gaming For The 21st Century

Silent Hill 2 is, in my opinion, in fierce contention for the best video game ever made. At the moment I’d say the top three are Silent Hill 2, Morrowind, and Red Dead Redemption 2.
I was overjoyed to hear the remake received overwhelmingly positive acclaim. Having played it myself I think they did a phenomenal job remaking it. Bloober perfectly balanced keeping what was great with what needed updating (fucking tank controls), and the stuff they added and expanded felt very well done and very reverent to the original.
Nothing short of an artistic masterpiece.

The first last of us is my first, IMHO. But Silent Hill 2 really is a very close second.

I don’t think I could just limit my candidates to three. One of my personal criteria is that the game was awesome when released (one of those games I kept obsessing about, outside gaming time), but is also good now when replayed (discounting the typical gameplay QoL improvements since then). Several really good games do that for me (in no particular order):
Most of them are old, mainly because I don’t know if my modern favorites will pass the test of time in 10 years (games like Crimson Desert, Control, Lies of P or Wuchang).
