Silent Hill 2's remake keeps the original PS2 game's eeriness intact, even if it's a little bloated by comparison.
Silent Hill 2 MSRP $70.00 Score Details “ Silent Hill 2 's remake is a faithful tribute to a horror classic that hardly holds anything back.” Pros Cons After hours spent hiding from twisted nurses, I’m finally ready to escape Silent Hill 2 ’s Brookhaven Hospital. I frantically search for a front door key in the lobby, but I find one final doctor’s note first.
New look, same feel Remaking Silent Hill 2 is no easy task. Though many games over the past two decades have been inspired by the PS2 classic, very few have quite nailed its feel. It shares DNA with genre peers like Resident Evil, but it’s a horror game that feels as otherworldly as its own alternate universes. It’s eerie, antagonistic, and always just enough off-center to keep players off balance at all times.
Of course, the most crucial part of Silent Hill 2 is its fog. That’s so important that its previous remaster was heavily criticized largely because of its changes to its density. Bloober opts for a white wisp haze over the ashen haze of the original. It may be contentious with nitpickers, but it works here. It’s less apocalyptic, but it’s still a thick wall that’s hard to see through. When I hear an enemy creeping nearby, I’m sent into a panic as I struggle to find it through the noise.
Combat has a similar dynamic. On paper, it’s a great upgrade. It’s a tense third-person shooter that effectively creates tension through resource scarcity. Enemies like Mannequins can be unpredictable, skirting away from my bullets. If I don’t want to waste my shots on a monster that skitters into the shadows the moment my flashlight hits it, I have to take my chances with close-range melee combat.
