Silent Hill 2

I'll say it, Silent Hill 2: Remake is the best horror game in years. It's terrifying, punishing, and an absolutely nail-biting experience pristinely paced to wring every chill and cry from the player it can. Bloober absolutely excelled in creating a masterpiece from a masterpiece, learning from the wonderful work of Team Silent while coding in their own DNA to create an instant modern classic.

From the foreboding fog to the crunchy combat, Silent Hill fans the world over should rejoice because the series is back and back with a voracious vengeance. It's gorgeous and narratively timeless, showing an incredibly raw look at mental health issues that, while not the most hopeful, contain painful lessons with uncomfortable truths that might just leave you with a level of compassion to your fellow man you otherwise wouldn't have experienced.

And all from a video game...take that naysayers.

I played so many games in my life, specially survival horror games. There is no game that affected me like silent hill 2 did. Remaking this game was like impossible job to do. I still cant believe how Bloober Team recreated it that professionally.

Positives:

• One of the best stories in gaming history
• THE BEST MUSIC in gaming history
• very good acting/voice-acting
• the graphics are amazing
• the puzzles are solid
• the combat is designed accurately to make you helpless
• Boss fights are awesome

Negatives:

• I dont know, may be personally i wished it a little bit shorter. I like games around 10 hours and it was about 16 hours. But ist not really a negative.

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.

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.

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.
