There's just not much you can do with it until you start repeating yourself because there is a low skill ceiling.

Silent Hill lived more from its storytelling. 1 being a metaphor for the occult transformation of oneself via (inner) alchemy, 2 with its nod to the Jungian archetypes and psychology.
Both are arguably not all that exciting in terms of game mechanics.

Take away a good story and atmosphere and you are left with fairly boring and sluggish games.

Adventure games are trash.

You're just salty because you never managed to beat any of the Humongous Entertainment games.

Let me put it like this: How many of the tank control, classic Survival Horror games during the genre's golden age were actually good?

RE1, 2, 3. Arguably CVX. Maybe Dino Crisis 1. REmake. Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3. I'm sure there must be a couple others but yeah, not a ton. Not a ton of good collectathon 3d platformers either. I'll buy that it's a hard genre to make work but not that the genre is shit or anything.

I think you forgot something, you heathen:

You're right, I forgot Parasite Eve 2.

Plus that Ring game that triggered Spoony with its Engrish.

Well, when you have to pull remakes to the list, you know it's bad. Cold Fear wasn't that bad, but Fear Effect, even if less horror, was somewhat better.
I didn't play The Evil Within 2, but some say it's better than 1. There's also Daymare, which at first was RE2 Remake, but when I first saw it, it looked like piece of shit and when it came out, it turned out it's just shit.

I only play autistic edgelord RE clones.

Galarians is such emo garbage.

All survival horror pales in comparison to Dreamland.

It's just some RPG Maker game, different from stuff like Ao Oni in that you actually have health and it's German.
