- Silent Hill 2 remake has been released to overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.
- The game has also received a pretty solid ratings from critics.
- However, a certain fandom recently took over Wikipedia and edited it to show that it received scores like 0/10 from the critics.
The Silent Hill 2 remake was previously criticised a lot by the fandom as it wasn’t a pretty picture. The remake didn’t look good at all but after the criticism and fandom’s feedback, Bloober Team managed to improve it a lot.
The difference is obvious just looking at the first and recent trailer. Yesterday the early access was started and it seems like the fandom is having a blast as the game was released to overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.
The reviews from critics were also pretty great. However, this remake was for some reason spammed with fake negative reviews on Wikipedia.
Why it matters: Silent Hill 2 is arguably one of the most horror and best video games in the industry so it getting a remake was happy news for many which is why its Wikipedia page getting spammed by fake negative reviews doesn’t make sense.
The remake was arguably in a very poor state upon reveal but the developer listened to the feedback and improved it a lot. However, the main concerns regarding the voice acting, Maria’s spookiness, and the change in character designs are still there.
That said, hating a game to this extent based on such concerns seems so unreasonable. On the Wikipedia page of Silent Hill 2 Remake the review scores by critics were shown extremely negative. Most of the scores were 0/10 which is just impossible for such a game to get.
The overall score for the PS5 version was shown 27/10 and for PC it was 10/100. This remake received a solid reception from both fandom and critics so this so-called ‘anti-woke’ fandom should really not perform such stunts.
Now, the Wikipedia page is under the semi-protection status. This means that the unregistered users who were editing it before can’t do it again. The page even claimed that the remake of this iconic survival horror has received the worst reviews possible from critics which is not true at all.
However, after the Wikipedia page was locked it was edited back and all of the review scores and information are now accurate. While this is not ideal this is mainly because such fans don’t like the idea of iconic games going ‘woke’ but it was unreasonable to stoop this low.
