I'm rating this pretty high, not because the game is somehow a hidden gem or anything. I just have fond memories of me and my sister sitting down in the living room and waching my dad play through it on a higher difficulty than we could. Good times.
Now this is what I'm talking about. This games got the juice I've been missing from this devs recent attempts. Being able to fight back against the monster, even a little bit, adds so much. A simple premise is elevated by great execution
Really love the dichotomy between silent hill 2 and its survival horror contemporaries. Every Resident Evil protagonist is super hot, earnest, and cool, whereas James Sunderland is the most pathetic man to ever live
It's really good. Played it on ps5 and had very few issues, but I hear enough horror stories from other players on different platforms that this game should have been delayed for several months at the very least
