I've been in the game for 3 hours and I have to say it has a thicker atmosphere than any other game and the sound is fantastic, as are the graphics of course ;D
Music used at the wrong times ruining atmosphere in some cases. More of a focus on Combat because Modern Audiences have major problems with the Psychological Horror aspect vs Over the Top Action and need a dopamine hit every minute or they lose focus and will call the game "Boring". Again, Modern Audience.
Voice Actors are not as good as the Original, and lines have been changed. Impactful scenes have been changed "Angela's is one example" which explains more of why her personality is the way that it is.
Play the OG Silent Hill 2 for PS2, or SH2 Restless Dreams for Xbox, or the patched version of SH2 for PC, then go play this remake and you will completely understand what I'm saying. Fanboys won't care, true Silent Hill fans will after you truly see the difference for yourself.
This game is in t-t-t-t-typical Bloober fashion rife with performance issues and st-st-st-st-st-stutters. The graphics are beautiful, but the out of sync animation glitches and constant UE5 traversal stutters completely ruin any s-s-s-s-s-s-embalnce of immersion.
There are a-a-a-a-a-also startup crash issues that have e-e-e-e-existed since release.
These i-i-i-i-ssues still persist.
I must have a different definition of what a m-m-m-m-m-masterpiece is because th-th-th-th-th-th-th-this ain't it in terms of Performance.
The combat, Bloober's first attempt, is repetitous and boring.
As for the st-st-st-st-st-story.....I heard it might be good, but I can't f-f-f-f-f-f-force myself to s-s-s-s-s-sit through the performance issues.
