Silent Hill 2 Remake review - an all-time horror great returns
Against the odds Bloober Team has delivered a remake that both expands Silent Hill 2 in just the right places, and gives careful attention to what it preserves.
Working alongside Konami and a couple of the game's original developers, Bloober has masterfully blended expectation with surprise to weave this devastatingly bleak story into a modern masterpiece that should be terrifyingly good fun for both old and new fans alike. Unlike 1 and 3, which focus on a cult in the town, in Silent Hill 2, you play as James Sunderland, a quiet, if broken, man still recovering from the death of his terminally ill wife three years prior. For the latter, the remake has opened up a slew of new landmarks for us to explore, so I devoted a lot of time picking through the streets of Silent Hill, revelling in the new-found freedom of being able to visit shops and buildings that had hitherto been out of bounds for us.
