Never played any of the silent hill games and this one looked amazing. The atmosphere is so spooky to play with the lights off. I really enjoy the game and had a blast trying to figure out what was going on.

The Silent Hill 2 remake really hits. Atmosphere’s heavy, graphics are wild, and the sound design keeps you on edge the whole time. They smoothed out the combat but kept that survival horror vibe alive. It feels true to the original but fresh enough to stand on its own.

Amazing, simply amazing. I was very skeptical when I first saw game play footage months before release on IGN. I really did think this game would disappoint because SH fans would have their rose colored glasses on. But this game delivers and then some. Now remake SH3!

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.

It a totally great game. If you've ever played any of the previous games, or have played the original, or are a first time player. You are going to enjoy it. The graphics, the story, and the environment have been redone but for the better. The only fault that I have is that the combat can be clunky at times.

I started playing this game with my gf and we were both getting creepy vibes. The game is really good at that lol. Haven't played too much but were both loving it. Best part is that it was only 30 bucks! Gotta keep an eye out for the deals!

Silent Hill 2 is a classic in the survival horror genre, and the remake breathes a new life into the 2001 PS2 classic, remixing many of its iconic moments without losing what made the game a fixture in many horror fans collections.
Combat, while a bit clunky, has just the right mix of new and old without making things too reliant on action. Ammo is scarce and takes a long time to stockpile, and sometimes fleeing is a better option than risking wasted ammo or drained health restoratives.
Puzzles, depending on the difficulty chosen, can take some effort to solve, requiring some outside of the box thinking, or be easily spelled out, allowing for players to enjoy the challenge of the brainteasers at their own pace. The same applies to combat, with three levels of challenge that will test old and new horror fans.
The remake has all six endings from the original releases of SH2, along with two new endings exclusive to the remake, allowing for a ton of replayability through James' journey through the foggy town

The protagonist faces an enemy wearing a giant steel pyramid mask with his torso bare and unloads a full clip into the solid steel. Horror games rule.

Great remaster of a classic horror game. You will definitely want to play this game with a good set of headphones or a good spund system the atmosphere sounds definitely intensifies the horror. Hopefully we will get the original remake in the jear future

An Excellent Remake to the Original

A game that will stick with you for a long time after playing. Great combat, wonderful sound design and a meaningful story. This is a psychological horror game, not much of a survival horror. I never felt like I had to ration out my supplies since the game provides you so much if you take your time to explore.
My only negative about the game is that there are parts that really drag out. I personally like horror games that are shorter and though I loved the 18 hours I spent in the game, there were areas where I just couldn't wait to get out.
The remake is fantastic, but I also recommend playing the original (just look up Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition online). I hope Bloober remakes 1, 3 and 4 as well!
This is a must buy for any horror fan or anyone who wants an impactful story that will stick with them.

Excellent remake of a PS2 classic. True contender for greatest remake of ALL time. It doesn't take away anything from the original in fact it does the exact opposite and adds a ton of new content increasing the length of the game overall.
