Game starts slow but it gets more and more intense. Personally I love it. Atmosphere and sound design is amazing, especially if you are playing with headphones on. I'm scared.
Unpopular opinion but I definitely preferred the Silent Hill 2 remake over the RE4 remake. RE4 remake deviated too much for me, a lot of cutscenes were worse, iconic and cheesy dialogue was replaced by forgettable lines and some areas of the game are just underdeveloped, poorly recreated and lacking in style compared to the original. The combat and gameplay is the best thing about it in my opinion, and Luis.I like the idea of the combat, but if they were gonna add more of it, I would have appreciated more enemy types or less monsters in general. By the Prison, other than the Spider Mannequins, you’d already beaten dozen of these enemies and they lose their spark.
So much was faithfully recreated and visually it’s so impressive. Cutscenes feel more natural and acted, and have actual camera work and style now, even if some of the voice changes aren’t as good (Eddie, Laura, and James are a delight, while Angela struggles occasionally but still sticks the important scenes. I’m not sure how I feel about Maria. She’s more flirty and personable, but she sort of loses the edge the original had.)
I think I rank it a little below RE4make but still a very very solid effort. 8/10.

Not bad! The original sold 1 million in a month. This is tracking to be the fastest-selling (and possibly best-selling) installment in the series.
That would be amazing!!!I would love a 1/6 James and Maria, monsters, Remake Accurate Pyramid Head (I need 2 to recreate the Ending).
Well earned, I posted the announcement here with zero expectations, I pretty much believed the game was going to be another soulless remake with lots of cut content that misses the magic of the original. Just another product trying to cash in on this remake/remaster craze.Not bad! The original sold 1 million in a month.

I'll echo the praise. I've played nearly all the games since the PS1 original. I haven't felt this good about a Silent Hill game since Silent Hill 3, honestly (even if I have a lot of love for others after it).Well earned, I posted the announcement here with zero expectations, I pretty much believed the game was going to be another soulless remake with lots of cut content that misses the magic of the original.

After seeing all the praise during those first couple of days after it released, I kid you not, I dreamt of Silent Hill.
So I got the remake the next day. Boy was I proved wrong... I'm still thinking about it. Bloober pulled through against all odds and delivered a passionate addition to the franchise and the original game.
I’m struggling to think of any soulless remakes. Pretty much all of the remakes I’ve experienced have been really high quality.Well earned, I posted the announcement here with zero expectations, I pretty much believed the game was going to be another soulless remake with lots of cut content that misses the magic of the original.

I actually still really enjoyed RE3R, but RE2R was a masterpiece imo. It seems a lot of people were expecting the SH2R to be soulless, even hoping for it to fail. Recently, there was some childish behavior on the SH2R Wikipedia page, where someone kept editing the review scores to make them lower, and the page had to be locked. It’s sad that some trolls are just jealous of the success.I’m struggling to think of any soulless remakes. Pretty much all of the remakes I’ve experienced have been really high quality.
Maybe RE3 would be the worst remake I’ve played, £8 for it still felt like too much.
That's a very heartwarming part of this tale. There was a lot of justified (and unjustified) skepticism that Bloober could pull this off. A lot of dooming and glooming. A lot of jaded and cynical views. And in the end, Bloober proved the doubters wrong and delivered one of the finest horror experiences in decades.I actually still really enjoyed RE3R, but RE2R was a masterpiece imo.
