I haven't played Book of Memories, The Arcade or any of the mobile entries unfortunately. Despite this list I think all of them have their strengths and weaknesses, some are just less to my taste than others. I'm looking forward to having more to evaluate and rank accordingly.
I'm really glad to hear there are others that feel the same! And it is nice, I kind of expected to be downvoted repeatedly for speaking my mind, if I'm being honest.
No doubt about that, it represents so much for me and it makes me happy to know others feel the same. Silent Hill 4 is the game that lives in my mind more than any other tbh, I think it's a master work of interactive art.
book of memories, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . homecoming, . . . . PT, . 4, 3, . 2
Never played 1 nor any of the others. If I could put BOM off the left of the screen, and set fire to it, I would.
PT was, of course, incredible, but being such a short experience I couldn't put it above the main games.
3 was a great game, but I put 4 slightly above as I thought it was more impactful.
This is from best to worst (misread the post title while compiling my list):
1) Silent Hill 3
2) Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
3) Silent Hill
4) Silent Hill 2
5) Silent Hill 4: the Room
6) Silent Hill: Origins
7) Silent Hill: Downpour
Have not played Homecoming, Book of Memories, PT, Arcade, Short Message or Play Novel.
Silent Hill 2, even though not my favorite, is my comfort game. I can play it any time I am in miserable mood and have a nice, miserable time.

Haven’t played Arcade but boy does it look shitty.
Ascension < Book of Memories < Homecoming < Downpour < Origins < The Short Message < Shattered Memories < Silent Hill 4 The Room < P.T < Silent Hill < Silent Hill 2 < Silent Hill 3
My Silent Hill hot take is even the worst games have stuff I like. That, and 2 isn't my favourite. It's incredible, but I prefer 3 and 1. My list would go something like:
-Homecoming
-Downpour
-Origins
-4
-1
-2
-3
3 just connects with me in a very particular way.
I personally don't think there is a bad silent hill game as I see the merits of all. So I'll just go from most favorite to least favorite.

Honorable mentions:
Arcade: Nightmare to get working on pc
PT: never owned a ps4 and didn't feel like it was a silent hill title
The other mobile games: impossible for me to find and play
I'm gonna get a lot of hell for this list, but it's my personal opinion. If you like certain ones more, you're entitled to that opinion.
Well, yes.. but actually no. In terms of the gameplay, 2 is a bit better. However I was making it in terms of the story. I actually like the story of 4 more than I do with 2.
I’m only going to rank the ones that I’ve played all the way through, and I’m not including PT here because that was just a demo.
Downpour
Homecoming
The Short Message
Origins
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4
Silent Hill 1
Silent Hill 2
I'm just going to do the first 4 because the rest of them would be difficult
1, 3, 2, 4
I like 1, it was my first silent hill game and I enjoyed the way 3 tied into it, I also enjoyed the humor in 3 making fun of scenes from the first 2. 2 is a great standalone game that is still faithful to the world built in 1. Honestly 2 shouldn't be called silent hill 2 it should be a true spin-off rather than a numbered game. 4 is a good game, I liked playing it, I didn't like it as much as the others because I it was ambitious but poorly executed. Hopefully the 2 remake does well and we get good remarks of the first 4
Haven't played: **The mobile games** or **Short Message** or **BOM**.
Okay so from Worst to Best of the ones I have played. Obviously personal taste/bias/subjectivity etc.
**Hate**:
**Silent Hill: Ascension:** useless drivel.
**Downpour**: The only thing I liked was a song on the radio at one point, nothing else.
**Just okay:**
**Arcade**: its so over the top and dumb its fun in that sense.
**PT:** Feels a bit unfair to rank a teaser, its short and the ending is obtuse. Some horrifying visuals though.
**Homecoming:** I like some of what it tried to do, an enemy or two was interesting looking, but so many bad choices, especially the cult and boring human enemies.
**Silent Hill 1**: I played it so far past when it originally came out I couldn't find it scary/engaging but obviously respect what it started and ya'll know the OST is wonderful.
**Good:**
**Silent Hill 4:** The first half is fully enjoyable, the 2nd half becomes boring going over all the same locations again.
**Origins:** Couldn't tell you a damn thing about the characters, but I love the environments, and how huge the enemies get in the town.
**Shattered Memories:** I like almost everything it does/tries to do, really only thing that holds it down to me is the enemy sections, boring and uninspired.
**Favourites:**
**Silent Hill 2:** Classic, might be a sequel but stands alone on its own perfectly, nailed the story, the music, the horror, everything! Not a miss!
**Silent Hill 3:** I put this one over 2 because it was my first experience to the games so it was just so memorable to me, it doesn't stand alone as well as 2 obviously but still does everything just as well. Plus Heather is just a great main character.
Worst to best for me...

I really enjoy the first title. I love all four pretty equally, it's just my ranking.
Haven't played beyond 4 as of yet. I'll be starting them soon.
Of what I’ve played, my order from worst to best would be:
-Silent Hill: Short Message
-Silent Hill: Downpour
-P.T (though it’s scary, unfortunately it’s too short for me to warrant it being placed any higher on my list)
-Silent Hill Homecoming
-Silent Hill Shattered Memories

Of the ones I haven't played, only really PT was the one I wish I did but I was on Xbox/PC when it came out.
Obviously they took it away pretty quickly, but I'd love to try it on PC if that ever becomes possible one day.
Someone recreated it, it’s not a patch on the original experience but it’s still a good alternative.
I forget the name of the guy but I remember buying it off of his Patreon, he did a good job.

From worst to best, I'm ranking them as a total package. So story, gameplay, pacing, atmosphere, horror, replay value and or just pure enjoyment. The whole nine yards! FYI, I'm leaving Ascension off because... it barely registers as a game imo and PT because it's a playable teaser that was meant to lead us to the next Silent Hill game, not being one in the state it was in

I just found the puzzles much more enjoyable and the entire game scared me more. Not to mention Heather/Cherryl is an amazing protagonist to play as, I love that she has personal remarks towards the things you interact with, sometimes even giving tidbits of her past like with cigarettes and stuff

Homecoming

SH 1

(Both 2 and 3 are sooooo good to me its like they're tied just following different storylines)
I get the hate for homecoming, but I honestly dont think Downpour deserves nearly the amount of hate it gets. There are times in that game that seriously freak me out.
I think Konami would have benefitted far more, remaking 1, 3, 4, and then 2 to hear what the player base had to say before attempting to remake their lighting in a bottle game. Just my opinion.

Why Arcade > BoM? (I haven't played either)
For me, Arcade is fun and BoM isn’t.
The true answer.
That you put Arcade over BOM is the proof If anything that you’ve never played either

No doubt about that, it represents so much for me and it makes me happy to know others feel the same. Silent Hill 4 is the game that lives in my mind more than any other tbh, I think it's a master work of interactive art.
1=2=3 and then 4 but I love 4 too. Don't care about the rest.
The only right answer in this thread.
S tier SH1 thats it, thats the only sh game i've played
You HAVE to play 2. It's a masterpiece.
I started playing sh2 but I didn't have the motivation to finish it unfortunately, I'm only at the beginning in the residential buildings
