Just finished Silent Hill 2 Remake. Really enjoyed it. Time slowed down as I played it, the game isn’t that scary coming from games like RE7, but the atmosphere and the trauma stories are really something. Medium from Bloober was similar in that way. The gameplay was fun too, never overstayed its welcome.

I feel they did creepy rooms and underworld better than Alan Wake 2 did it. Not sure if it’s fair to compare them, but parts of it made me feel how AW2 didn’t go far enough in some of its sequences.

UE5 sucks though. Lots of noisy and shimmery graphics and fps at times dips to literal slideshow on PS5.

As a big fan of the OG Silent Hill 2, I was very apprehensive about the remake, but damn, Bloober nailed it! They really understood the original game and expanded on it exceptionally well. Especially compared to the recent Return to Silent Hill movie. Godawful and an insult to the game!

I'm very interested to see how they handle the Silent Hill 1 Remake. That one needs a LOT more work done to make it playable nowadays!
