“Being handed a classic and beloved game that many see as the pinnacle of its genre is already a daunting task, but when that game also happens to be part of a franchise that has laid mostly dormant for over a decade and even then was only through maligned remasters given some life, it puts the challenge even further. Combine this with a shaky track record at Bloober Team and fan perception is going to be at its most critical and with a game like Silent Hill 2 being the one given the remake treatment, it is going to be impossible to please everyone. So, with fans at their most critical despite horror remakes being the recent trend and Silent Hill 2 being seen as the pinnacle of psychological horror, has this team managed to find success and at least please most with Silent Hill 2 Remake?”
