An atmospheric and rewarding horror game up there with the Resident Evil remakes for reinventing a classic
Silent Hill 2 both succeeds and falters because of its almost reverential recreation of the original. While that makes for a good horror game overall, it shies away from improvements or reinterpretations that could have smoothed over older ideas or enhanced dated mechanics.
The Silent Hill 2 remake by Bloober Team is nothing short of a masterclass. It's not only one of the best video games of the year but also one of the most impressive remakes ever seen before in the history of gaming.
