This game is Phenomenal! I have never played the original but I have seen it as a playthrough. So when I first learned about the remake I was hesitant about it mainly because of the initial trailer, which did not look good. But HOLY! I played this game to completion. Its creepy, its fun, and the most important thing...It's depressing! Which is the one thing I have always known about the overall theme of the game. My girlfriend also loved going through this experience with me and I truly recommend this game for any person who love playing horror games.

"In my restfull dreams I see that place..." those words have haunted me for the 20 or so odd years since my teenage self picked the original Silent Hill 2 up for the PS2. This game defined horror and looks to reclaim its throne as creepiest game of all time. Silent Hill 2 remake is up to the task as it does not just retell the same story with the same beats. This game follows the blue print but takes it to horrifying new heights by creating a more seamless and modern take on this dystopian tale.

Are you a David Lynch fan???? Did you love Twin Peaks? Or Mulholland Drive? If you did… or have not ever watched! This game reaches into the mind of this man! Beautifully portrayed by Masashi Tsuboyama the director of this game! Please play this game! Turn off all the lights! If possible, put a head set on! And get immersed into a psyched out horror journey! I played this game years ago… and I can say that this remaster is probably my favorite! (RE2 being #1). You will not be disappointed! Beware of the nightmares that might come!!!! Lol

The game was fully wrapped and in great condition. No disc scratches or packaging problems. The game itself runs well so far with no issues. It's faithful to the original Silent Hill 2 while changing things up to keep it fresh. I'll always miss the campy dialogue, voice acting, and crunchy graphics of the original, but they preserved a lot that I wasn't expecting. Fans of the original and new fans alike will probably enjoy this. Don't expect an exact copy, but it doesn't stray TOO far. I'd recommend it for new and old fans of Silent Hill.

This game is so fun and pays homage to the original. Amazing story with better combat/gameplay. Worth the money. I hope they remake SH1 and 3.

The game is definitely polished and performs very nicely on my vanilla ps5. Lots of jump scares, and lots of cool and interesting puzzles. It’s a great remake.

Silent Hill was a classic back in the day and this remake brings back the nostalgia but remastered quality takes the cake. It's so much more engaging and easier to understand the story. The playthrough and puzzles are amazing and well thought out.

If you’re unfamiliar with this series and looking to dive into it - play the original, to learn how this was butchered. As a silent hill devotee, I knew from the beginning this was a doomed release. Despite its critical acclaim, I can’t see the appeal. Blinders maybe? Or willful ignorance of those who want -more- of the thing they love. Konami has done this exact thing before, and previously, they’d failed. (I have a two hour long video on the what, how and why - to be released after I’ve finished all the game has to offer : if you’re an editor email me, I’m moderately popular. Regardless; This time was a success because of people’s short memories, and true fans moving away from the series. I wish I could say this is an “A for effort”, but at its core this is fundamentally flawed. I can appreciate that Ito was able to bring his true designs to life, I can appreciate what the developers -thought- they were doing, but the story of James and Mary is not enhanced via learning about a depressed bartender. This detracts from the story, and shows those developing it think they’re more familiar with a story than the team that first brought it to life.
The graphics are beautiful, but at what cost?

A great remake of the original game. The ambient sounds, graphics and atmosphere are top tier.
