Silent Hill 2

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 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.

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.

Its here and its perfect.

As with all remakes i was very cautious and just hoped it would not be screwed up by some greedy fart face involved in its development.

It came out so much better than i could hope for.

I have been playing the original for years since it came out. Once a year at least. This new version is incredible. Its got everything from the old game and so much more. Its bigger, better and beautiful. The original was on pa2 so the backgrounds were always limited to look a bit plain but this new one takes all you loved and fleshes it out big time. I love exploring the town in the old fame but now you can really explore so much more. Some shops are open and you can explore those now too.

This new remake is everything i hoped it would be and so much more.

Compared to great remakes like RE2 and Dead Space, this one probably sits right next to them for being great. Well maybe a bit higher as it has always been a favourite game to go to.

I also hope the original gets cheaper and the scalpers dont get what they ask for a ps2 copy. You greedy scalpers charging over 200$

I hope we get more and GOOD silent hill games like this.

Because the ones that have come out in the past decade are mediocre.

Except for the Ascension. That was just terrible.

*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.
