Silent Hill 2 Remake

Who? Konami

What? Survival Horror

When? October 8th, 2024

Eggsperience? An atmospheric masterpiece that revitalizes one of gaming’s most legendary psychological horror entries. The unsettling environments are gorgeous and disorienting. Who knew poor visibility could ever look this good!? The lighting demands that this game be played at night, preferably with headphones on so every creak and slime ridden squelch can induce a proper amount of anxiety. Add crunchy (albeit a little repetitive) physical combat to the mix and you’ll be curb stomping away your sanity with glee. If you love the original, love looking at a map every five seconds, love sucking at 3rd grade level puzzles, and love the Resident Evil remakes, this game is guaranteed to satisfy!

STANKOMETER SAYS? DANK! A perfect example of how to faithfully remake one of the best horror games of all time. Any criticisms I’ve seen are just nitpicking. Some mechanics remained a little outdated? Who gives a shit. Some characters are one dimensional? Fuck off. The game was great, it’s still great, and now it’s prettier. Win win!
