About Silent Hill 2

Silent Hill 2 Remake is a ground-up reimagining of the 2001 psychological horror game. It follows James Sunderland as he searches for his deceased wife in the fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill. The remake features entirely rebuilt visuals in Unreal Engine 5, over-the-shoulder gameplay, reworked combat, and new voice acting.

The community says

The fog effects hold up remarkably well, and the sound design carries most of the tension. The combat still feels a bit stiff compared to newer action games…

ELO progression

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,789 ELO points over the last 123 days.

    osef du hype du départ, 6 mois après plus grand monde en parle, bizarre non

    Même chose pour Undertale d'ailleurs, l'attention retombe et le classement s'ajuste tout seul

    RogueNinja62

    Bizarre non, surtout comparé à Gothic II qui reste discuté sans jamais cet emballement puis ce silence

    Claro, un remake con niebla mejorada merece estar por delante de juegos que inventaron su propio género, tiene todo el sentido del mundo.

    Mon copain jouait, enfin plutôt il naviguait dans le brouillard pendant que je regardais, on n'a pas décroché du weekend

    j'ai bien aimé l'ambiance sonore, franchement au casque c'est autre chose, par contre le rythme entre les zones de combat et les zones d'exploration casse un peu l'immersion par moments, jamais rédhibitoire mais je le note quand même, ça reste un très bon jeu dans l'ensemble

    ArcadeHunter

    Claro, la ambiencia sonora es maravillosa, lo mismo pensé yo cuando el combate me sacó de la inmersión por tercera vez seguida

    Bon, on l'encense un peu vite pour un remake, non ?

    But the debate itself proves it holds attention, unlike some remakes people forget within weeks of release.
