Today, I beat Silent Hill 2 dressed up as Joker Persona 5. Today sure is a Halloween day. Got the Leave ending.

Instead of the remake replacing the original as a way to experience Silent Hill 2, Konami should get the people behind the enhanced edition to help port the original, or have the original PC version ported to GOG like with the classic Resident Evil games recently.

I am gasp replaying a game! Gameclub got me on replaying Silent Hill 2. No jump right to the remake but it's been very valuable for me to compare and appreciate both the solid design here and other devs like Bloober following up that work. My backlog is too beeg for impulse-buying the remake but if Christmas is around the …

Going to bed Thursday night after playing SH2 and then waking up to pitch blackness with thumping on the roof and flashing lights in my hallway (unbeknownst to me that it was my partner's pulsing flashlight) was a little too immersive to me. Thanks Helene.

Just finished my first session. Much scarier than the first game. The little floor goblins make me scream every time. I remember the first time I tried playing this game one bit me foot and I died. Gave the game away at school the next day lmao (out of fear not out of anger to be clear).

Woah this game is crazy! I just played it for the first time recently and it blew my mind. There are so many things that make this game a masterpiece.

The sound design, the fog and the enemies make you feel unnerved the entire time while playing. The visuals are dark and the controls are somewhat janky but that adds to the vibe of the game. Definetly a 5/5 and totally worth playing. The puzzles really make you think and the run-down buildings you explore are really creepy.

Started a replay of this tonight so I could show my partner. Not sure if they'll end up appreciating it since horror can go either way with them, but I'm having a great time reliving what was my first foray into the series.

Started a replay of this tonight so I could show my partner. Not sure if they'll end up appreciating it since horror can go either way with them, but I'm having a great time reliving what was my first foray into the series. The sound design is so fantastic, I'm still getting creeped out at some spots despite playing with someone and already being familiar with the game.
The dialogue delivery is as weird as ever too. I always got the sense it was meant to sort of emulate a dream, or some kind of dream-like haze, where the characters seem almost drunk. Anyone know if there's a word for when a piece of media tries to recreate the "feeling" of a dream or nightmare?

Just completed BORN FROM A WISH, and it's quite something when the DLC of a game (sub-scenario as it is called) is just as good and complex as the main game. One of the finest ghost stories, and perhaps one of the best ghost games you can beat in less than 1 hour. 'Born from a wish' in itself that's …

One of the finest ghost stories, and perhaps one of the best ghost games you can beat in less than 1 hour. 'Born from a wish' in itself that's such an awesome concept to build a story around. Silent Hill and it's nightmares, a gift that keeps on giving.

I’m making very little progress in this game. Just slowly creeping through the mist. The sound design is terrifying. I hate all the sounds.
