The upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, which is set to drop on Tuesday, October 8, has stirred up quite the buzz in the gaming community. Unfortunately, not all of that buzz is positive. A faction of frustrated fans, worried that the remake may not honor the original masterpiece, have resorted to vandalizing the game’s Wikipedia page. These trolls have been changing the game’s review scores to misleadingly low numbers, with some alterations reaching as low as 0/10. Seriously, guys?
Despite the noise from those trolls, the Silent Hill 2 remake has received glowing reviews from critics, boasting an impressive 88 overall critic rating on OpenCritic. This makes it one of the highest-rated new video game releases of the year. It’s clear that fans and critics alike are praising the graphic enhancements, sound, and overall experience that Bloober Team is delivering in this survival-horror renown. Much has been said about whether this revival can truly live up to its predecessor, but initial impressions show that it’s exceeding expectations.

Mixed Reactions and Expectations
It’s important to note that the excitement surrounding the remake isn’t without controversy.
