A ground-up remake of the 2001 classic, with an over-the-shoulder camera, new combat and expanded areas. James Sunderland's trip into Silent Hill keeps its story but looks and plays like a modern horror game. Fans were nervous going in, and it largely won them over.
Kit's verdict · 8.8/10
A respectful remake that keeps the soul and fixes the controls.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved

Not so much

- Some new areas drag
Play it if newcomers and fans who want the classic with modern controls.
Skip it if purists who think the original can't be touched.
