What we've been playing - noiry crime scenes, clouds above fields, and scary towns


A look at the games Eurogamer has been playing this week, including Silent Hill 2 Remake and Starfield.

| Image credit: Bethesda You may have noticed a lack of Yours Truly over on the Eurogamer YouTube channel of late, because I’ve been cooped up in bed following an absolutely rotten reaction to this year’s seasonal jabs (at least I know they’re working, though: get those doses when offered, folks!) It remains as chilling, horrifying, and emotionally devastating as ever; arguably more so, given the sterling work of its stellar new cast and some canny upgrades to familiar moments, including that astonishing new Abstract Daddy fight, and an ingeniously choreographed prison sequence that's easily one of the most unremittingly suffocating, harrowing bits of horror I've played. But it's also provided the perfect opportunity to watch a whole new generation (distilled into a cross-section of blubbering streamers, admittedly) discover its secrets for the very first time, and to see that nearly a quarter of a century on, Silent Hill 2 hasn't lost any of its incredible power.
