This version of Silent Hill 2 is a remaster included in the Silent Hill HD Collection. The graphics have been re-mastered to 720p, the in-game voice-over was updated along with a re-mastering of the soundtrack and achievements/trophies were added.
James Sunderland has arrived in the town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his wife Mary, telling him to meet her in their special place in Silent Hill. However his wife died three years ago, and has kept the secrets surrounding her death. James decides to honor the letter's request, wondering if this is a sick joke or if there is more to this. As he reaches the outskirts of the town, James finds that the road is blocked, and parks at an abandoned restroom. Little does he realize that this is the first step forward into the mystery of Silent Hill and his own past.

I love Silent Hill 2, it's like the cherry on top of that perfectly crafted chocolate sundae. Not too sweet it's overwhelming but it's balanced just right so that everything in it leaves that little speck of an impression.
It's a masterpiece of psychological horror where the themes of the game are still being explored and questioned twenty years later. Despite a lot of Misinfo out there due to constant YouTube videos I think it's interesting how a gaming as a medium can be mature enough to allow these types of discussions to take place.
Whilst I'm not going to be talking about Born From A Wish (I've not finished it yet) the main narrative is what's important and it's very hard to talk about without spoilers, I know it's been spoiled like Darth Vader is Luke's dad, but honestly it's better to go in blind.
All you need to know is James Sunderland gets a letter from his dead wife asking him to come back to Silent Hill and that kicks off the narrative.
It's short, can be beaten in six hours and everything is just *chefs kiss* excellent in its design, from puzzles (you might need a walkthrough for the orange juice one) to the creatures and the characters
Combat again is a bit clunky but that's a characteristic of the series overall.
It's worth playing, especially the free Enhanced Edition.
