That Silent Hill 2-shaped hole in your heart? It’s gone now, with Bloober Team’s faithful and outright terrifying remake.

Sometimes, a horror game just needs to evoke a psychological experience; it's not necessary to bring about favorable feelings. Silent Hill 2 Remake created this exact impact on me, and I won't erase it from my thoughts, probably never.

Remaking one of the most revered horror games ever is no simple task, but Bloober Team impressively rebottles the magic of the 2001 genre landmark.

Silent Hill always has been and forever will be considered one of the greatest horror franchises ever made, but ask anyone under the age of 20 nowadays what game Pyramid Head is from and they’re perhaps more likely to name Dead by Daylight than the series’ legendary second entry. A few dire side games (PS3’s Downpour and the PS Vita title Book of Memories) along with Konami’s decision to step away from the video game industry have seen the IP fall into obscurity, only really mentioned when discussing its PS2 heyday. There’s no way to play any of the past instalments on PS5 or PS4, and due to h...

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

When a title gets a grand number, it’s a video-game worth spending your whole life in.

With excellent performances, improved mechanics, and more than just a fresh coat of paint, Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 is one of the studio’s best projects to date. A sinister and compelling return to Silent Hill that you won’t forget in a hurry.

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.

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.

In my restless dreams I see this game, Silent Hill 2. You promised that one day you would make a remake of it and let me feel what I felt years ago. But you never did, and now I'm here alone, waiting in our special place...
