Silent Hill 2 (2024) is Bloober Team's remake of one of gaming's most revered horror games.

Does it do justice to the original, or should some classics be left alone?

In this deep dive, we revisit James Sunderland's journey into the fog and break down the Silent Hill 2 remake: the atmosphere, the story, the combat, the monsters, and the changes from the 2001 original.

We look at what it gets right, what it gets wrong, and whether it's the way to experience the game now.
