Silent Hill 2

Could be one of the best remakes of all time. Silent Hill is back.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the lord my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the lord my soul to take.

The story of James Sunderland has always been one that deeply impacted me on an emotional and psychological level. It changed how I see many things in life, how I see myself, and my own personality. And now, with the remake, it brought all those feelings back in a truly amazing way.

Even though there were many issues with the remake—like engine problems, frequent stutters, and strange glitches—I'm grateful to Bloober Team for their courage to take on the challenge of remaking a game that’s been almost sacred and untouchable for the gaming community for 20 years. For a long time, many of us believed that a masterpiece like this shouldn’t be altered, and I was one of those people, honestly. I had a lot of worries about this point, but Bloober Team proved me wrong. They added so many beautiful touches to the story, like new endings and small tweaks to some plot points, all while showing great respect for the original content. The scene direction is so well-done, probably some of the best in video game history, from the animation down to the facial expressions that tell their own stories if you pay attention. And then there’s the music—Akira’s original soundtrack was already a masterpiece, and this remake gave him the chance to revive it with new additions that made the music even better.

Thank you, Team Silent, for this masterpiece again, this time through Bloober Team, who I’m sure has a lot more to offer as an independent studio.

in my restless creams… i see that pound…… gyatt hill……..

This game could've been a 10 out of 10 but first I've got something to say,

The story is purely philosophical.
This game isn't about the protagonist who is walking and killing monsters along the way looking for his wifo no, you really need to deeply understand what's happening and the story behind every character especially james Sunderland its darker than you think, and you also need to pay attention to every detail in that game to solve your puzzles + believe me you don't wanna miss something cuz it's gonna make a difference in your ending, i dived into the game and got addicted to it, spent hours everyday on it because of the atmosphere and the city, they really did an amazing job writing the story and the characters Which made me didn't care at all about the flaws, the game actually have many flaws like aiming and controls aren't smooth, optimization is terrible and buggy .. despite that, The game ia immersive, i underestimated this remake when i watched the first gameplay trailer, but once it's released and i tried it, i completely changed my mind, ngl every time i spent on this game i burn most of my calories because of how damn scary the jump scares are, the ascending music makes you very nervous with the footsteps and the noises you hear everywhere you go i was actually scared all the time so The level of horror is very high.
I really hope we can get more remakes like this with more improvements

Yikes!

Where do I start here? Bloober team have never been my favourite developer and boy did they prove why once more.

If you're looking for a remake of the quality of Resident Evil 2/4 or Dead Space, then look elsewhere.

The controls are janky, for example you have to position James meticulously to pick things up and prepare to get stuck in the environment. The combat is a poor mix of Callisto Protocol and Alan Wake, the shooting is OK at times and woeful at others.

The narrative...oh boy. The original was about half the length and it worked. There's a lot of padding for an already thin story and now it's overly stretched to breaking point.

The critic reviews have landed on the softer side for this one in my view!

A TRUE MASTAPEECE
