Judging by early reviews, the Silent Hill 2 remake was definitely worth the wait. The game is currently doing pretty well with a score of 87% on Metacritic.

It has been described as the best horror game of the year, retaining everything that made the original so great, while modernizing outdated controls and combat.

The Silent Hill 2 remake benefits from improved visuals and audio, as well as various other quality of life improvements.

It also adopts the popular over-the-shoulder gameplay style popularized by other survival horror games like Resident Evil 4.

Indeed, the combat system has been updated with new movements such as the ability to dodge attacks and aim down sights.

Although Bloober Team wanted to keep the spirit of the original and not change too much, fans can also explore new locations and buildings that were previously inaccessible.

“Enjoy the same acclaimed story, while experiencing the town of Silent Hill with fresh eyes on an expanded map,” the company explains.
