Silent Hill 2 Remake was a troublesome proposition. Obviously it comes from a good pedigree - the original is one of the most renowned, admired videogames ever made - but with that reputation comes an enormous amount of expectation and dubiousness. When the original version is so good, how could Bloober Team possibly justify a new version of Silent Hill 2? Well, despite skepticism, SH2 Remake seems to be a big hit, with an enormous amount of glowing reviews from critics and players, and a healthy presence on Steam just before launch. It's apparently so good, in fact, that the director of the 2001 classic is eager to play, and suggests that the remake might even improve on the OG.
