Today, KONAMI proudly announced that the Silent Hill 2 remake has sold over a million units globally across PC and PlayStation 5 as of October 11, according to the publisher's internal tracking.

That's similar to the assessment provided by Chris Wray in Wccftech's […]

This guide will explain everything you need to know about how to complete it in the game on standard difficulty. How To Solve The […]
Horror games scare you in ways that nothing else can. The tactility of their terror and the immersiveness of their worlds can make it hard for scaredy cats to even give one a chance, let alone get through it. Beating a horror game is one of the most tr...
The Coin puzzle in Silent Hill 2 is one of the most famous puzzles in the game, as it is one that has been present since the game was first released on the PlayStation 2.

This puzzle is available on both 'Standard' and 'Hard' difficulty.

The Silent Hill 2 Remake has been out for a little while now, and along with it comes some new puzzles. Whether you're a veteran of the game or you're just experiencing this horrific story for the first time, there are puzzles that will test your wits. One of these puzzles is the Moth puzzle, which can be found in the Bluecreek Apartments. The Moth puzzle can be found in Apartment 202, where you have to work out the code via the numerous moths that are pinned to the boards. Along with the moths, there are some mathematical sums with […]

The Silent Hill 2 remake is officially out, and plenty of mods have already been released to improve the game in various ways on PC. We've reported on the AMD FSR Frame Generation and NVIDIA Ray Reconstruction tweak, and now there's also an NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation mod released by none other than PureDark. As usual with his DLSS Frame Generation mods, you'll have to be a Patreon backer to get it. There are also several mods that improve various graphics and technical aspects of the Silent Hill 2 remake. For example, modder SammiLucia already posted their 'Ultra Plus' overhaul, […]
Silent Hill 2 director Masashi Tsuboyama took to X to talk about his feelings on the remake that's due to launch tomorrow. Tsuboyama-san, who has since worked in the art department of a few Nintendo games (most recently Yoshi's Crafted World and Princess Peach: Showtime!), criticized differences like 4K, 'photorealism', and the bonus headgear, labeling as mediocre. However, he praised the camera change as a major improvement for the remake. I think the value of the Silent Hill 2 remake is that a new generation can play it. As a creator, I'm very happy about it. It's been 23 years! […]
