Silent Hill 2 Remake Review Roundup – A Strong Comeback By Konami

Expert Verified By

Bloober Team Has Delivered With The Remake!

Story Highlight
  • Silent Hill 2 Remake has received excellent reviews, suggesting a great comeback. 
  • The early trailers for the game attracted a lot of criticism for looking unpolished and incomplete. 
  • It currently has an 87 score on Metacritic with over 47 reviews. 

The Silent Hill 2 Remake was announced in October with an excellent trailer. However, the subsequent trailers garnered a lot of criticism for looking unpolished and bleak. Bloober Team has eliminated all these things as the final game has received great reviews. 

Why it matters: After the underwhelming gameplay trailer, the Bloober Team president said it doesn’t represent the game. It seems he was right about it, as the overall reviews for the Silent Hill 2 remake are highly positive, with an 87 score on Metacritic.

The recent gameplay and environment trailers did promise a lot of potential and improvements over the initial ones. The potential has now been delivered with the finished version. Some notable scores include:

  • Eurogamer 5/5
  • IGN 8/10
  • VGC 4/5

Silent Hill 2 Remake builds on a great base created by the original game. The game is mostly a one-on-one copy of the original much like what Resident Evil 2 remake was. However, it does add some additional content, making it longer than the original. 

The visuals have received a major overhaul. With the original, you feel an utter sense of helplessness, that had been multiplied by the higher graphical fidelity of the remake. The fog, buildings, and the environment in general are all terrifyingly beautiful.

Combat has been somewhat improved as well. The only gripe with the gameplay is that it can sometimes feel a bit repetitive. 

However, the game does provide multiple endings, which adds to its replayability value. The soundscore is simply brilliant, adding to the atmosphere and looking as creepy and disturbing as ever. 

The voice acting for James is highly appreciated, but with others like Maria, it can be a bit unnatural and feel outdated. Nonetheless, the Bloober Team has done an excellent job.
