Silent Hill 2 is a horror that won't scare you with cheap jump scares and gruesome monsters—it will instead crawl under your skin and make a monster out of you.

James Sunderland really loved his wife. He loved her so much that it smothered him when she died. Grief, doubt, and a calling to visit SILENT HILL consumed him. Finally arriving on Xbox, 2024’s excellent remake of the PS2 classic by Bloober Team is here and in the best shape I’ve seen yet. Running at a near-flawless, damned good-looking 60fps in performance mode, this is the best version of the game on consoles. So pack your car, put on your green jacket, and take a trip to everyone’s f...

9/10

Silent Hill 2 is a great remake that captures the essence of the original game, expanding it in all the right ways without ruining the spirit of the original. While this is easily the best game Bloober has ever made, and perhaps even their scariest, simplistic combat is the only thing that keeps this horror epic from reaching its true potential. Regardless, this Silent Hill 2 remake is everything you could hope for and more, and hopefully, a sign of great things to come for the series. It’s a clever and inventive expansion of the original that you wouldn’t know you needed……until now.

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.

The original Silent Hill 2 released in 2001, which was an impressive time for the medium. The year was not without other forward-thinking games tackling complicated emotional subjects (Metal Gear Solid 2 and Ico, for example), but James Sunderland’s journey into the titular town continues to stand out as arguably the most progressive both at the time and shockingly still today. Revisiting what many consider to be a masterpiece on the nature of grief, trauma, guilt, and other topics not typi...

Silent Hill 2 brings a classic horror game back in an impressive way. Despite over 20 years of time passing, the story still feels poignant and unique in video games. As someone who never played the original, but has heard people sing its praises, Silent Hill 2 delivers on those, even if its combat doesn’t reach the heights of other games in the genre. If you enjoy the uneasy, and in some cases deeply cutting, feeling of psychological horror, Silent Hill 2 is a must play.

Investigating a letter from his late wife, James returns to where they made so many memories - Silent Hill. What he finds is a ghost town, prowled by disturbing monsters and cloaked in deep fog. Confront the monsters, solve puzzles, and search for traces of your wife in this remake of Silent Hill 2

78/100

Bloober Team's remake hews closely to the original's high standards, but occasionally stumbles.

Toms GuideDave Meikleham

A loving remake of a true horror great, Silent Hill 2 is creepy, a little too bloated and confusing, but hot dang does it feel good to shotgun monsters that look too X-rated for the “Terrifier” movies. But It’s a shame the PC version disappoints.

Unscored

A good-looking and unflinchingly loyal remake of the beloved 2001 horror game, yet one that plays everything safe.
