This game is something out of this world and if I am asked to describe hell Silent Hill is the first on my mind. Strange journey where one door only leads to another with more scarier enemies which are masterfully placed to always surprise you, making you sit on your edge of your sit, if when you are playing on hard. Journey that slowly uncovers the secrets behind this place and making you regret thing and mistakes you did in the past... Truly survival experience like no other. Enemies and bosses are also straight from hell, you have never seen anything like it for sure!

Silent Hill 2 Remake is a sensational comeback for the franchise and Bloober Team''s best game to date. Far from being just an opportunistic game, it is both a love letter to the saga and a successful retelling of the original one. Faithful and very different, this new game modernizes psychological horror without ever abandoning its old-school roots. Silent Hill 2 Remake is deeply scary and stressful. Besides being very good remake it is simply an excellent survival horror that honors the license and gives us great hope for the future.

The sound... ambient.. everything you hear is sounds... truly unsettling! Music is by the original composer!

PC options are great, AMD FSR 3 frame generation and NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction can be easily enabled. (check comments for the detail instructions)
While it shows some ghosting issues, frame generation can definitely make the game feel smoother, especially for those who are playing on an underpowered system or on Steam Deck.

For my Ukrainian friends there Ukrainian localization on the release! УКРАЇНЬСКА ЛОКАЛІЗАЦІЯ!

I never forget trying this game on my friends PlayStation one evening in 2002... I was mesmerized by filled with fog town and wanted to come back and play the game ever since and I could not imagine a better way to experience the full game in all its glory! IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY INSANE on capable hardware!

Absolute must play for any survival horror fan and a great game overall!

There is 8!! endings in this game!!!

Honestly bloober making it was the thing i dreaded most about this. The only good horror game they made before this was Observer, and that was honestly fantastic, but both layers of fear and the medium were either just mediocre or awful. Glad to see they actually pulled it off and did justice to the original.
