Silent Hill 2 Remake Gives You A Trophy For Trying To Turn Back

As a die-hard fan who has traversed the twisted labyrinth of Silent Hill 2 more times than I care to admit, let me tell you, the remake has been a rollercoaster ride of nostalgia and fresh terror. The illusion of choice at the game’s onset, where James Sunderland can opt for a brief stroll in the opposite direction of Silent Hill, is a delightful nod to our collective fear of stepping into that cursed town again.


As a seasoned gamer who has ventured into the chilling world of Silent Hill 2, I can surely empathize with James Sunderland’s hesitation about entering that eerily haunted town. But here’s the twist: In this remake, players aren’t just along for the ride – we’re given the chance to try and turn back, making it a part of our very first Trophies in the game!

According to Automaton, gamers receive the Trophy at the game’s outset when they take charge of James. Despite the absence of a feature allowing James to get back in his car and drive off, he can merely begin walking towards the town’s opposite side. Regrettably, this facade of freedom lasts only until the player encounters an unseen barrier preventing further movement. However, accomplishing this action grants players the No Turning Back Now achievement.

The primary motivator for James’ trip to Silent Hill was a letter he received from his deceased wife, Mary, suggesting she might be alive there. Remarkably, someone blocked the direct tunnel entrance to Silent Hill, forcing James to make a lengthy trek from the observation deck before venturing into town to confront his deeply personal issues and, of course, encounter Pyramid Head.

As a dedicated fan, I’d like to echo Mark Delaney’s sentiments about the TopMob’s Silent Hill 2 remake. He beautifully captures it as a painstakingly accurate, heartfelt, and breathtaking reimagining of one of horror’s most influential works. The developer, Bloober Team, has remained faithful to the essence of the original game in crucial aspects, yet dared to innovate with calculated risks, grounded in their deep comprehension of the source material. Furthermore, they have been backed by some of the game’s original minds, making this remake an even more authentic and captivating experience for us fans.

Right now, you can get your hands on the premium version of the Silent Hill 2 Remake for both PlayStation 5 and PC systems. However, fans eagerly waiting for the regular edition will have to hold on until October 8th.
