Silent Hill 2

Never in my life have I played the silent hill saga for a reason that at the time that silent hill 2 came out on PS1 I was a child and at that age it was not common to play horror games, now when analyzing this work of art I have to admit that it is the best horror game I have ever played in my life, I have never played any SH before, I am amazed, from the exquisite story, its graphic quality, but most importantly the psychological terror and stress that this game generates is not for everyone It's brilliant, its music hits the mark in every moment of tension, the game doesn't give you a chance to relax. Masterpiece 10/10.

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.

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.

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.
