Silent Hill 2 (2024)
The original Silent Hill 2 is a genuine classic from the PS2 era and a game worth playing even in 2024. However, it’s an older game and can feel clunky at times. Plus, you might not have a PS2 or want to mess with the necessary mods to get it running on a PC. Lucky for us, we’ve got a new and great way to play Silent Hill 2 in 2024.
The newly released remake isn’t a perfect copy of the original game and won’t replace it, but it does provide a very close recreation of Silent Hill 2 while improving the game’s controls, combat, and visuals. If you’ve never played Silent Hill 2, the remake is a fantastic way to experience the creepy story of a man looking for his dead wife in a haunted town filled with monsters, fog, and broken souls. Just be warned that this new remake can get intense, so you might want to have someone play with you to help add some levity as you slowly work your way through its hellish levels. And maybe keep the lights on, too? — ZZ
