Silent Hill 2

I absolutely love the cinematography in this game, the dialogue & voice acting is so good, and the OG silent hill music during scenes hits you emotionally so hard

big props to the voice actress of Angela who I think absolutely carries any scene she's in, the perfect tone of voice innocent/lost, broken, confused.

I will say tho and I'm sorry for any OG fans that I may offend, but I do find that the exploration can kinda drag in some spots, so I was losing interest in some spots but it really doesnt stay like that for long.

The game is unbelievably eery, and silent hill is just the definition of a perfect environment for horror.

The game has a very good atmosphere and the environment gives the player a very good feeling. Everything that was expected from the city of Silent Hill is felt in the environment. Fortunately, the composition has not changed and this is much more acceptable than a new music. The faces of the characters, except for Angela, look very satisfactory, but the design of Marie's dress is not as good as the first version, and this dress design is seen as weak. The voice acting is really good, unlike the 2013 Collection game, which was a disaster.

The story of the game is designed exactly like the OG game and I hope this trend continues in other versions of Silent Hill.

I got the deluxe ps5 version and started playing 2 days early. This remake is incredible. It is beautiful, frightening, and emotionally impactful.

Bloober team has completely outdone all the naysayers. This gane is way scarier than the 2001 original and some scenes/segments truly gave my heart some trauma. The attention to detail and synergy of music, dialog, and visuals is simply amazing.

Any SH or survival horror fan should experience this new masterpiece. It believably pulls off the beauty, tragedy, and fever nightmare hellscape that the original strived for.

I can't wait to see all the endings.

I played this remake of the original 2001 one for the first time on Sony PS5 on the 8th October 2024 and I finished it yesterday (17th October 2024). It's a great remake and I love it! It's kinda very creepy especially the hospital but it's still worth playing.

I like both the original version and the remake version. They're both brilliant as well. I cannot prefer so who cares which one is better anyway?

I'm delighted that Konami has brought back Silent Hill and it's all thanks to the Polish team Bloober Team. Fair play to them.

It's probably one of the best video game remakes I've ever played in my life!

I always love Silent Hill. It's my favourite horror video game series of all time and Silent Hill 2 is my favourite one in the series too.

*Like many, when I saw the original trailer by Bloober Team I was like "this looks rough." Boy was I wrong. I mean I already pre-ordered the game already but still I went in with low expectations.

*This game is one of the greatest horror games I have ever played. It put Silent Hill back on the map (no pun intended). Survival Horror was in a rough place 10 years ago, with the release of RE5-6 being fun action games but there was no horror at all. Silent Hill hasn't had a decently good game since Silent Hill Origins. The whole survival horror genre had gone stale and old.

*This game is simply amazing, the graphics on PC MAX is absolutely stunning. The environments are some of the best I have ever seen, and Jame's face looks pretty photorealistic too. Unfortunately the female faces look kinda bad and scary.

*Anyways, this game has a great intro, and the final half of this game is nonstop edge of your seat thrills. I mean, I was completely glued to my screen from the mid way point when the story really started to take off.

*Pyramid Head is great, the characters have more cutscenes to flesh out the plot, and all of the boss fights are way way better than the original. The highlight is the Eddie boss fight, which is now this psychological "cat and mouse" battle.

-The only few negatives I have is that the female faces look pretty fugly, some of the classic scenes worked better with the original voice acting, and the last two stages were ridiculously dark, to the point where I was getting tired eyes from looking at all that darkness.

9.5/10.
