Silent Hill 2 Remake's Metacritic Score Comes Chillingly Close To The Original's

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming experiences under my belt, I must admit that the recent release of the Silent Hill 2 remake has sent a shiver of excitement down my spine. The original game from 2001 was a cornerstone in my gaming journey, and seeing its Metacritic score neck-and-neck with the remake is nothing short of breathtaking.


A few days following its debut, the Metacritic rating for the Silent Hill 2 remake is steadily approaching that of the original. The initial release from 2001 holds a ‘generally favorable’ score of 89, whereas the remake currently stands at an 86, based on over 80 critic reviews.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that the competition between these games is tight, and it seems we’re dealing with the game’s “Metascores” here – ratings exclusively derived from professional critic reviews. Interestingly enough, at this moment, the Silent Hill 2 remake is stealing the show, boasting a whopping 9.3 from users, while the original version trails slightly behind with an 8.8 score.

It’s important to point out that the original version of the game is quite old compared to its recently released remake. Since it’s fresh off the press, scores might evolve as more gamers delve into Bloober Team’s contemporary interpretation of Silent Hill 2 and share their own thoughts.

Despite potential modifications to the specific ratings in the future, the high evaluation of the Silent Hill 2 remake indicates that fans have appreciated the game more than was initially expected by many. Some were skeptical about Bloober Team’s ability to effectively redesign Silent Hill 2 for contemporary audiences; however, the remake has garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews on platforms like Steam, Metacritic, and OpenCritic.

Bloober Team and Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake is available on PS5 and Steam for PC now.
