Experience a master-class in psychological horror―lauded as the best in the series―on the latest hardware with chilling visuals and visceral sounds.
High-end Graphics and Sound
With ray tracing and other cutting-edge technical enhancements, the world of SILENT HILL and its unsettling ambiance is even realer than before.
And with the inclusion of new, immersive soundscapes, you'll feel like you're standing in the thick of it.
Larger Environments
Explore locations and buildings that were once inaccessible, or are newly added in the remake.
Enjoy the same acclaimed story, even while you experience the town of Silent Hill with fresh eyes across an expanded map.
Over-the-shoulder Camera
The remake moves from the original's fixed-camera viewpoints to an over-the-shoulder perspective, putting you closer to what James sees, for a more thrilling, more immersive experience as you explore the town and come face-to-face with monsters.
Evolved Combat Gameplay
Familiar weapons like the steel pipe and handgun make their return, but now with an updated combat system.
Avoid attacks with carefully timed dodges, aim down sights, and more, making monster encounters more engaging and nerve-wracking than ever.
Do not buy this game. It is a stuttering nightmare and runs terribly. Many people including myself have tried reaching out to Konami for a patch or fix regarding the performance and sutter issues and the most they do is to tell you to lower your graphics settings. That is definitely not the issue and the fact that they are re-releasing this game this late after launch on multiple storefronts with no fixes is shameful. Save your money and don't buy this $70 cash grab.
I own this game on Playstation 5, not here on GOG or Steam because my computer can't handle it.
My main complaint about the game is the pacing. They took 7 hour game and stretched it to 20 hours without adding that enhanced the core experience of Silent Hill 2. Like - if you want longer "dungeons" and enemy combat that takes up both your time and your energy - this version is for you. I prefer the original where James auto-aims, combat is easy but also not the main point of the game. I am actually surprised this remake focused so much on combat since I know the devs have done walking simulators before. If there was any of the original SH-games that would've worked as a walking simulator - it's Silent Hill 2.
But yeah - 20 hours for one run and that made it so I skipped replaying the game. I just don't have the energy for it. Especially when combat is just dodge and normal attack. Like - even the original lets you do multiple types of attacks with the weapons - but here it is just the normal attack. Which is a bummer cuz the steel pipe has this spear attack in the original that keeps enemies at a distance. So weirdly enough combat has less strategy in the remake and is more about reflexes.
Mannequinns are overused in this game - giving the game a Dead Space-y vibe because they will jump out from anywhere in order to attempt scare jumps at you. The bossfights have improved - because the OG is just bosses walking in circles - but high adrenaline battles don't impress me...
The story is very much the same - but Lynchian vibes have been traded for naturalistic acting. I think remake Angela is the best version of Angela - but so much of the original vibe has gone lost. Also, otherworld is much SCREAMIER this time around. It looks more like Sh3 otherworld than SH2 otherworld that was very subtle and you barely noticed it
I am still gonna pop in my OG SH2 discs into the PS2 whenever I feel the need to replay it and forget about this remake...
