Silent Hill 2 (2024) is a ground-up remake of the seminal survival horror game of the same name (2001). When it was first announced in October 2022, I remember being completely blown away by the graphical fidelity, art direction and soundscape of the teaser trailer. I also remember thinking: ‘It’s such a shame I won’t be able to play it.’ The prospect filled me with dread. Yet, when it was finally released two years later, much to my own surprise, I bought it, played it and completed it. And I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.
