Having received a letter from his deceased wife,
James heads to where they shared so many memories,
in the hope of seeing her one more time: Silent Hill.

"My name… is Maria," the woman smiles. Her face, her voice... She's just like her.
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.
I never got the chance to play the original so I can't comment om how faithful it is to that. However, I will say that the game is absolutley beautiful. With great story and characters aswell as certified spooky™
I highly recommend playing with a high quality controller. (Xbox Series X controller, PS5 controller or 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 for example) The game makes very good use of the controller, especially the vibration/haptic feedback.
If you like horror that's more than just lazy jumpscares, then this is for you.
Silent Hill 2 Remake Is really worthy of the name. Near perfect. Breathtaking graphics, the eerie atmosphere, the characters, all of it. My only complaints are the controls in combat and monsters reacting to getting hit with a melee weapon. I understand you're not some GI Joe but he barely runs. When you strike an enemy it seems random if they react or not. Sometimes they stumble back while other times it's like nothing happens so they get a free shot on you.
Before SH2 Remake, Bloober was more known for their walking simulator style games like Layers of Fear 1-2, The Medium, Observer, and Blair Witch. All of which enjoyed above average receptions, and way before that, they made some very forgettable games in the early 2010s.
SH2 Remake, was their mega breakthrough success and launched Bloober into the upper echelons of gaming that they are enjoying now. The remake successfully recaptures much of the magic from the original, with Bloober also applying their own magic to add some unexpectedly welcome additions.
All the characters are well portrayed and very comparable to their original versions. The voice acting solid, though with Maria being the weakest link. The story is amazing as ever, and wonderfully recaptured from the original. The combat is very serviceable and by far the most advanced in the series and a great evolution altogether. The setting and environments are incredibly well done for exploration and immersion. Bloober did a wonderful recapturing the magic from the original SH2 into updated graphics and gameplay.
Bloober successfully defied all doubts and negative expectations with the massive success of SH2 Remake. They are now on the rise as a new major player in horror gaming that they have spread their wings further starting with Cronos the New Dawn, which is a surprisingly good game itself, along with a SH1 Remake in the works, and other projects in development. Congratulations to Bloober and best of luck to their long term future.
