Description

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.

There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to her...

 

"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.

Against the odds, Bloober Team has delivered a remake that both expands Silent Hill 2 in just the right places, and gives careful attention to what it preserves.

Despite the difficult revelations Silent Hill 2 unveils along the way and how uncomfortable the experience made me (by design) I was eager to immediately start the journey again after seeing the credits.

Silent Hill 2 is a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror.

My favourite horror game ever

The remake of this classic takes the crown (previously held by Alien: Isolation) as the best horror game I've ever played! Constant dread, all the locations are iconic both for the game and from an horror fan perspective, James' research is damned from the first step into the borders of the town, you would like to avert your gaze from what happens to him but you just cannot. It's a 10/10 for me, the story has no pacing issues whatsoever which is a critique I usually highlight in other titles; the only critiques the combat which is basic, but still common to the majority of the recent survival horror games so I'd say acceptable (REs, Alan Wakes etc...), and one backstory which I find weak. Recommended if you have a bunch of diapers at your disposal

A classic reborn

Holy pizza in a bowling alley! The Silent Hill 2 Remake is even better than the original! Yeah, I know. That's blasphemy. How dare I even think such a thing... The original Silent Hill 2 is a timeless classic and one of the best games ever made. I know. What I don't know is if I will ever feel the need to replay it again after experiencing the Bloober team remake. Sure, the original's voice actors gave unique performances that are worth experiencing again, but I honestly think the new voice cast did an amazing job in their own right. What the Silent Hill 2 remake definitely does better is the combat. Killing the horrors of Silent Hill has never been more fun, but SHR does it without making James feel like an unstoppable killing machine. He is still vulnerable and obviously not some kind of seasoned combat veteran. I also loved the new lore that comes in the form of notes, puzzles and whole new locations. Silent Hill has never felt more like a real town that has gone to absolute hell. Offcourse it doesn't hurt that the Unreal Engine 5 makes it all look better and more horrifying than ever. Silent Hill 2 is without a doubt my game of the year 2024!

Masterpiece

This is a very worthy remake of the classic. It's right on point: the graphics, the voice acting, the phenomenal sound design. This is the SH2 for GenZ (and anyone who wants to relive the horror that still lingers in the back of your head from childhood days).
