Silent Hill 2 remake is better than the original, but it's a worse game for it

SILENT HILL 2

Investigating a letter from his late wife, James returns to where they made so many memories - Silent Hill. What he finds is a ghost town, prowled by disturbing monsters and cloaked in deep fog. Confront the monsters, solve puzzles, and search for traces of your wife in this remake of SILENT HILL 2.

There's no denying that Bloober's accomplished and expansive Silent Hill 2 remake exceeded expectations, though I still prefer the 2001 classic's terror-inducing, mind-warping creativity. Silent Hill 2 remake is technically a more proficient videogame than Team Silent's original. It looks better, plays better, meets the expectations of the day, and builds out the town of Silent Hill in ambitious ways. Yet the original's technical limitations and the artistry holding it together due to and in spite of those possible pitfalls help to make it special.
