Silent Hill 2

After my huge disappointment and even anger with Silent Hill f, I approached Silent Hill 2 Remake with some hesitation and even doubts, but my concerns quickly disappeared. From the very first hours, the atmosphere and gameplay completely drew me in and never let go. The gameplay reminded me of Resident Evil in some ways, and I genuinely enjoyed exploring every corner of the game and reading everything I could get my hands on. All of this, combined with the story and wonderful characters, gave me an unforgettable experience that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. This masterpiece is worth every penny. Bravo! This is how remakes should be made. The game also features an incredible soundtrack that can truly touch your soul and stay with you long after you hear it. Silent Hill 2 Remake deserves all the huge success it has received.

lowkey was terrified the whole time but no regrets. absolute masterpiece <3 the story, monsters, characters, every part of this town is peak 💜💜💜

Personal Rating: Very Positive (90%) I got Silent Hill 2 alongside Silent Hill f in a bundle, so I'm gonna compare this to Silent Hill f, as it's the closest thing to it. (I might expand this review as I progress further) Horror feels less prevalent and grotesque agaist SHf, but the tense scenes last longer on average here than in SHf. That being said, both games have their moments where they shine. The monsters are pretty wild by their design tho. The fog here REALLY makes you think what lurks in it. Both games could be described as ''Beautiful in Terror'' Upsides: The story here is much more linear and better grounded than SHf's story. The missions go well by themselves, but you can get stuck if you don't pay attention. The graphics look nice, but the game sometimes gets to 60 FPS, even with DLSS enabled. I know that this game has optimisation flaws with the lack of ANY Level of Detail. (Same problem is in Silent Hill f) Downside: The combat - Listen, I know Silent Hill franchise isn't supposed to have awe-inspiring combat, but this is quite annoying to play with. If there's a glass in front of James, and a monster like 4 meters away from him, he will try to hit the monster, and it was so annoying during one section. I recommend Silent Hill 2, but if you are in doubt, get it on sale, as it goes on 50% off pretty frequently.
