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.

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.

10/10. Great sound, gameplay, visuals and scares. One of the scariest experiences I have had in gaming maybe ever! I played the original 3 times over the years and this remake is exactly what I hoped for!

I played Silent Hill 2 briefly on PlayStation 2 when it was new. This is one of the best remastered games I've seen. It retains the story and spirit of the original version, combined with the technical advances of graphics, sound, and gameplay of current generation console, PlayStation 5.

An excellent remake of one of the best games of the older era of survival horror games. The updated visuals are amazing and the remastered sound is unreal. Do yourself a favor and play with headphones!

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.

I'm a die-hard fan of the original which was gifted to me when I was 13. This released exactly on my 33rd birthday so it was a no brainer to pick this up. I've been following the development of this game since the announcement and had to withstand the amount of hate this remake was getting as more info was released. I had my hopes that it would be good and show the haters up and I'm so happy that's exactly what it did. This remake is up there with the likes of RE2 and Dead Space remakes. It's terrifying, looks and plays amazing and is totally faithful to the original while adding so much new content. I love this remake and hope others pick this up as well.

I never got the chance to play the classic version of Silent Hill 2, after hearing how Great this game is with its bone-chilling and tragic story. But when Konami announced a trailer for the Silent Hill 2 Remake, I was so excited for its release date so that I can play this masterpiece for the first time. After this remake was released, I was stunned at how amazing, terrifying, and Eerie this remake was. It's a must play for classic and newcomer Silent Hill fans.

I’m old enough to have played the original SH2 and it’s still stayed with me all this time. The Remake honors that but deepens the story and characters and playing in 3rd person now is perfection. There’s so many nods to the original even though this game stands on its own and you can tell a lot of love and care into it. Walk, don’t run, to fully enjoy it.

We all had our doubts. I mean remaking one of history's greatest games was going to be impossible, right? Well, it turns out that the crew at Bloober Team had exactly the right skillset and reverence for the source material. Silent Hill 2 (Remake) is an absolute masterpiece. Aside from a few technical hiccups around visuals, there isn't a single thing to complain about here.
If you enjoy psychological horror, do yourself a favor. Buy this game. Play it. Soak in the greatness!

No need to play the other silent hill games before this one. This game stands all on its own with good story, amazing visuals, and solid gameplay
