Silent Hill, Resident Evil Town Settings are Perfect, But for Different Reasons

It’s easy to compare Silent Hill and Resident Evil based on how seminal both IPs are in their respective horror subgenres, and yet there are even larger distinctions between them that make them completely unalike in many ways. Original entries in either franchise were really only similar based on gameplay, and even then Resident Evil has always been more eager to let players wield firearms and combat the enemies they come across, while Silent Hill has always been more of an exploration of a protagonist’s psyche. Rather, Silent Hill and Resident Evil’s settings have also differed immensely.
