Honestly skip it, there is nothing of value in it. Sometimes a remake can bring a new perspective and give life to what were originally still images and primitive models like the RE2 remake making it interesting to play but SH2R is just a cynical cash grab that brings nothing and even takes away from the original. Gameplay wise it's pretty derivative modern over the shoulder action adventure shit and there are many many better games you can play if that's what you're after.

Yeah this is some real scary shit oh boy I'm shitting my pants just soaking this sheer atmosphere

I will never get over the fact that ""fans"" cried and shat their pants over the combat reveal trailer for "not being what Silent Hill is about" only to do a complete 180 after release and continually ignoring how incredibly repetitive the game gets after the first few hours as they shower it with praise and pretend it's better than the original just for being more streamlined.
There are other factors to good gameplay besides how smooth the controls feel and Bloober missed the mark hard.

>Silent Hill 2 Remake does have better combat than the original. That's not up for debate
Being better mechanically doesn't mean much when it does a far worse job with the amount of variety in relation to just how much combat there is compared to the original. The plank is awful in the original which makes getting the much improved steel pipe after the apartments feel a lot better whereas the remake couldn't be bothered to make a different set of animations or a second set of attacks for the measly 3 melee weapons it provides you with so the steel pipe is effectively just a buffed version of the plank and doesn't even have a longer reach either so it outright just replaces the plank literally you don't even get to keep it after getting the pipe.
