An 89 score from 375 devoted raters — the math of a game with a real following. Horror that commits, from Blizzard — fantasy atmosphere, real dread, and scares that aren't cheap. A full single-player game with a multiplayer side that refuses to die. A 2001 original that still holds up — they don't make them like this anymore, literally.
