Silent Hill 2, Bloober Team’s remake of the 2001 survival horror classic from Konami and Team Silent, is actually a good game that does the original justice, according to excerpts from an early review that have been posted ahead of the game’s release for PS5 and Windows PCs on Tuesday, October 8. The game, which takes 16 to 18 hours to beat, features what is said to be an “amazing” atmosphere, although its character details and updated puzzles have been described as being “mentally taxing.” A copy of a Flesh Lip boss battle comparison, which PlayStation shared yesterday, can be found below.
The sense of realism and creepiness brought by the beautiful visuals and sound is incredible. Evasion makes the battles more fun and you’ll be absorbed in defeating enemies one by one. The character details and the revamped puzzle solving make it more mentally taxing. The unique atmosphere is simply amazing. It takes 16 to 18 hours to clear the first time.
