Good game, but some gripes.

Very nice game that replicates the ambience and horror from the original, especially within the sound department. Every noise, creak, and room have their own unique sounds that contribute to the overall horror. Only gripe I have is the voice acting is giving off indications that they were trying a little too hard to be impactful, like (Spoilers) James falling down to his knees in a yelling manner when the upside down Maria scene occurs instead of allowing James to breathe in shocking silence like the original. Angela in the room with her knife also needed more creepiness/bleakness associated with her voicing. Game also suffers from animation lag, where James’s character model will occasionally stutter when you run in a straight line in places such as the hospital or the main town. However, I appreciate the small details that were added in certain places that made the environments much more interesting.

I was definitely skeptical when I heard Bloober Team (the Medium, Layers of Fear) was going to be remaking SH2 due to their largely mediocre output. However, I’ve never been more pleased to be wrong about a game or a developer. SH2 is not only a brilliant remake for its modern over the shoulder gameplay perspective and drastically overhauled graphics and cutscenes but mainly for how well it simply captures the haunting and twistedly dark atmosphere of the original. This game is creepy! If you play this alone in the dark with some good headphones it will get to you for sure! It’s a perfect play for Halloween and spooky season.

I wasn't fortunate enough to play the original release on the PS2, but I picked it up on the 360 when it was released. Playing through Silent Hill 2, was one of the most singular gaming experiences - straddling the line between gameplay and story in a way that I had never experienced before. This remaster, remake, whatever, elevates every aspect of the story in a deep and meaningful way. Once again this experience has been powerful and moving - somehow even more haunting and impactful than when I first played it over a decade ago.

This game was notjing short of incredible, when I initially heard about this remake I was skeptical. After playing this game I was more annoyed that it took me so long to get to it. Im glad Bloober Team proved everyone wrong, and i hope they get a shot on working on the first Silent Hill and its sequel Silent Hill 3.

I've been a massive Silent Hill fan for years and when I heard this remake was coming, I was both excited and skeptical. The previews didn't look the best, but after playing, I can tell you it's an amazing experience. While it has some minor hiccups, this is the perfect way bring Silent Hill back from the grave.

I love Silent Hill and I'm so happy that Konami is finally bringing back this amazing series. This remake is amazing, very well done and sticks to the original very closely while adding extra lore to the already awesome story it has. I can't wait till they remake Silent Hill!

Really great remake! Bloober Team did an outstanding job with this. A great survival horror game that gives that slow burn feeling with tense exploring. And also has good action and puzzles. Really a fun game if your nerves can handle these type of games!

I thought this was a pretty awesome remake of the original. Its faithful while adding new content that doesn’t deviate at all from the original source material. The combat was surprisingly good and the story was really great. This is a must play for any horror fan

This game definitely builds up tension with eeriness - when originally ordered I thought it was similar to a resident evil game (which are a lot of fun in their own right) but this one definitely has a lot more of a horror vibe than a horror action vibe. Only a couple hours in, but am intrigued to finish the game.

Great remake of a great game. The graphics are fantastic, although, they do have some weird problems with the reflections in the puddles no matter if in Performance or Fidelity. But the characters, the monsters, the effects, they are all top notch. The only caveat is that there do not seem to be a whole lot of Shadow/Dark areas as in the original. But at least the game is still creepy.
The controls are good and they work fine, but the combat is simplistic, with an added Evade mechanic that mostly works and it ad at least a way to have more control over the combat situations.
Some things are expanded upon and other things are as they were. Regardless, this is a great way to experience this classic game.
