Silent Hill 2 is, in my opinion, in fierce contention for the best video game ever made. At the moment I'd say the top three are Silent Hill 2, Morrowind, and Red Dead Redemption 2.

I was overjoyed to hear the remake received overwhelmingly positive acclaim. Having played it myself I think they did a phenomenal job remaking it. Bloober perfectly balanced keeping what was great with what needed updating (fucking tank controls), and the stuff they added and expanded felt very well done and very reverent to the original.

Nothing short of an artistic masterpiece.

nah sounds lame. what if james sunderland was a cool badass dude with time travel powers so he could save mary instead? Also he smokes weed

Akira Yamaoka changed horror games.

I like Silent Hill 2 (the original, not the remake), and consider it the best Silent Hill game, but let's not kid ourselves. It was only mildly received when it came out, getting an average score of 6 or 7 out of 10. It only very recently came into vogue.

I loathe its ability to spawn the millions of YouTube video essays about it. This is the pain of a franchise you love going mainstream and then all the new people completely change it. Tale as old as time.

Don't let your hobbies go mainstream people. Its a two edged sword. Sure, you get more interest and more money into the sector, but it also permanently changes forever, and almost never for the better.

I didnt like the pyramid guy
