I played this like 16 times in a row when it came out because I played every ending then I actually got a key for the game so I got every steam cheevo, it's OKAY as something new for people who don't like silent hill, but like the idea of silent hill, but it's a bad remake and a deeply flawed game in general
A lot of the levels are way too long meaning your playthrough is slogging by Brookhaven when the original game is just a nicely paced movie that would be over by that point
The combat design is terrible when you actually understand it fully, it looks okay if you don't understand it but once you do it's paper thin in depth in addition to being prone to breaking and extremely exploitable, the original game's combat is super easy even on hard when you understand it, but at least it is actual combat, remake's is entirely a scripted rhythm game pretending not to be
The enemies are also too "aggro" for the narrative, the narrative of sh2 is supposed to be melancholic, you're supposed to feel bad for the enemies, they're pathetic and weak just like the person that inspired them, but in remake they're actually violent, the narrative connection you feel to james is lost through this because instead of getting the notion that you were putting down sick people, you get the notion that mary was a violent monster and james was just defending himself
The nightmare gets way too heavy way too quickly, they did actually explain this in the hidden lore so kudos for that I guess but I think it still hurts the tone of the game
The new puzzles being 90% basic arithmetic is so pathetic it's kind of funny
I liked the addition they made to hint you toward the NG+ endings and to hint you toward the alternate NG endings, those were legitimately a great addition
I DO like the goth angela mod and like 14 of my playthroughs were using it
All in all though I did NOT like the game as much as sh2, not at all
>why did you play it 16 times then
I have autism
