Critic Reviews
By Alex McCumbers
Despite all of my trepidations, Bloober Team have exceeded expectations with their remake of Silent Hill 2, but there is still some work to do to push the game’s quality as far as possible... Regardless, this adaptation of Silent Hill 2 is brilliant and captures the overall feeling and tone of the tragedy of James Sunderland in a way that is commendable on nearly all accounts.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is a fantastic reimagining of the original 2001 classic with a tremendous atmosphere and great voice acting but a greater focus on combat and enemy encounters can get quite repetitive towards the end.

There are ways in which the game would have benefited by diverging from its progenitor: it has far too many enemies, while the hospital and prison sections are interminable. But remaking Silent Hill 2 was a mighty big ask and Bloober Team have crafted a fine remake. For fans of the original who want the same experience but shinier, this is an unmitigated triumph, and for newcomers it’s the best way to experience one of gaming’s greatest horror stories.

Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 Remake is an interesting game. It successfully freshens up the presentation of the original story while tastefully expanding the gameplay through a modern gaming frame. Their handling of boss fights, monster behaviours and puzzles makes this title a fun time through and through, despite the depressing nature of the atmosphere and story. The new takes on characters offer increased depth through new facial capture and the voice actors successfully revise some of the more complex, awkward dialogue exchanges in a manner befitting of the original title. Akira Yamoaka slays with a fantastic remix of the soundtrack and Ito does some masterful redesigning of the horrific creatures. If there was a way to remake Silent Hill 2 this was it.

The remake of Silent Hill 2 is a genuine masterpiece. While there are some technical issues here and there, Bloober Team did an exceptional job with the resurrected title's story, voice acting, gameplay, and visuals. Additionally, the attention to detail on display throughout the entire experience makes it a must-play for both returning fans as well as those who are playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time.
