See all reviews of Silent Hill 2 →This game deserves its praise, it’s a great game with a great story, but I definitely have some complaints. The music feels so incredibly out of place and it takes me out of the immersion of the game in seconds. The music itself is fine but I hate how it intrudes on the game’s atmosphere. I also felt as though some of the sections were incredibly long and repetitive. There was so much clear symbolism but I dont think EVERYTHING had to be a metaphor for something. I didnt love the combat either. For a game that clearly makes you save your bullets and heals for when they count, they sure throw a lot of enemies at you. I do love this game’s atmosphere, and the characters you meet along the way as you uncover more about the creepy town. Very glad I gave it a chance.
