This is a game I've been seeing for a long time. People kept calling it terrifying, and in some cases even the best psychological horror game ever made. Because of that, I was hesitant to start. Naturally, since I’m not into horror games at all, diving into such a highly praised title was intimidating for me. But even though it was hard to begin, I don’t regret a single moment—because this game is a masterpiece. With every detail and its atmosphere, it’s a perfect remake.


Some players aren’t too fond of this studio due to the quality of their previous titles. It’s fair to say that they haven’t always delivered consistently strong work. So when people found out that this company was handling the Silent Hill 2 remake, many understandably had doubts. But there’s an often overlooked or forgotten point here: for Bloober Team, Silent Hill 2 wasn’t just another game, it was the peak of horror and psychological tension. They’ve expressed their admiration for the Silent Hill universe time and time again. That’s why they approached the remake project with deep respect, great care, and attention to detail. This is exactly why many players ended up being pleasantly surprised.


The original Silent Hill 2 was released in 2001 and, within the technical limitations of its time, featured fixed camera angles and tank-style controls. These static cameras were intentionally designed to create a sense of tension and unease, while the controls felt heavy and old-school. Still, the visuals were quite impressive for the era; despite the low-resolution textures, the use of fog, lighting, and shadows created a flawless atmosphere. Akira Yamaoka’s sound design and music were among the game’s strongest aspects, adding an unforgettable layer of psychological horror to the experience.

In the Remake version, the story stays mostly true to the original, but some characters' backstories and interactions have been expanded or presented more clearly. Dialogues and plot progression are more direct and explanatory. This adds dramatic weight to the narrative, though some players may feel it slightly dulls the mysterious tone of the original. Additionally, certain side scenes or segments have been expanded or enhanced. These additions are done so seamlessly that they feel like they’ve always been part of the original version.

With an over the shoulder camera and controls similar to those in modern action-horror games, the gameplay feels much smoother. Movement is more fluid, making exploration more comfortable and intuitive. Combat has been improved as well, with attacks and dodges feeling more responsive and satisfying.


The story of Silent Hill 2 revolves around James Sunderland, who arrives in the town of Silent Hill after receiving a mysterious letter from his deceased wife. However, this journey is much more than a simple "search for his wife." As the game progresses, we realize that James is confronting his past, his conscience, and the suppressed truths within himself.

• Angela Orosco is a young woman traumatized by abuse from her father and brother. Silent Hill reflects her psychological pain rather than a physical place. Her story reveals the lasting impact of trauma and adds a tragic depth to the game.
  
  
• Eddie Dombrowski is a man broken by bullying and rejection. Constantly mocked and isolated, he becomes increasingly aggressive and unstable. His growing paranoia and dangerous behavior reflect the destructive impact of social abuse on the mind.
  
  
• Maria is a mysterious woman who looks exactly like James’s wife but has a different personality. She represents both hope and obsession for James, symbolizing his repressed desires, guilt, and escape from reality. Their complex relationship draws players deeper into James’s troubled mind.
  
  
• Laura is a pure and innocent child who forms a genuine bond with Mary in the hospital. Unlike others, she is largely untouched by Silent Hill’s darkness because she lacks the guilt and trauma that affect the others. Her presence represents innocence and hope in the story.

Silent Hill 2 is more than just a horror game; it has become an unforgettable story about the complex and fragile nature of the human mind.


Without Akira Yamaoka’s music, Silent Hill simply wouldn’t be the same. Tracks like “Theme of Laura” not only set the emotional tone of the game but also capture its very soul. The haunting hums in the environments, the muffled sounds of enemies, and the sudden silences all build an atmosphere that sends chills down the player’s spine. This incredible sound design forms the foundation of the game’s terrifying mood. Instead of relying on cheap jump scares, the game uses pure psychological tension, making the horror feel deep and immersive. That is why the sound design and music are considered legendary.

One of the most famous tracks, “Theme of Laura,” is not only one of Silent Hill 2’s best-known pieces but also among the most iconic compositions in video game history.


The graphical quality of Silent Hill 2 was incredible for its time, but what truly makes it unforgettable is not just the technical quality but the atmosphere it creates. Every environment reflects a different fear and psychological tension. Foggy streets, rusty hospitals, damp rooms, and abandoned hotel lobbies all contribute to this haunting mood.

The prison section, with its dark corridors, evokes a feeling of both physical and mental suffocation. The labyrinth level perfectly captures the panic and disorientation as enemies chase you, intensifying the sense of helplessness. The hotel area offers a poetic finale where you confront the shadows of the past. Such dense, oppressive, and psychologically aligned environmental design is rarely seen in gaming history.

In horror games, mechanics often take a backseat, but Silent Hill 2 delivers a satisfying experience with its simple yet effective systems. Camera angles, movement feel, and enemy interactions have all been carefully reworked. The impact of attacks is surprisingly satisfying. For example, when you shoot a creature’s left leg, it falls onto its knee and stays that way. Small details like this show how much care went into the game.


Silent Hill 2 stays far from sudden “jumpscare” scares. Instead, it builds a constant rising pressure, a heavy atmosphere, and a creeping sense of madness. The tension is present from start to finish, increasing with every new location. The prison and labyrinth sections especially elevate the suffocating fear of loneliness and the unknown. At the hotel, the tension shifts into an emotional breakdown, where the weight of confrontation replaces fear. In this game, horror is not just an emotion; it is an atmosphere, a mindset, and a psychological burden.


The enemies in the game are more than just targets to be defeated. Each one embodies James’s suppressed fears, emotions, and guilt. Their forms, attack patterns, and sounds are all deliberately unsettling. Of course, there is Pyramid Head as well. He is not just an enemy but a symbol of James’s personal punishment. With his silence, menacing presence, and inevitability, Pyramid Head has become one of the most iconic figures in video game history. The enemy designs go beyond being mere horror elements and serve as an integral part of the storytelling. In this way, Silent Hill 2 stands out as a truly unique experience.

For me, Silent Hill 2 is a flawless masterpiece.

I expected F1 24 to be good because of the success from the previous game. F1 24 fell short of the expectations to most players, including myself. Most of the variety and mechanics from the previous game have been removed. Some of the mechanics have also been made worse compared to the previous titles. For example, the car handling is very unstable and weak, makes the game unplayable for the most parts. Unfortunately, we now have to refer to the game as an arcade game rather than a simulation game.


They’ve removed the '' Braking Point '' story mode we knew from F1 23. To be honest, I really liked the "Braking Point" mode. It wasn't so perfect, but it was enough. Unlike F1 23, they’ve introduced a driver career mode. Well. It’s a good idea, but since the game doesn't fill the expectations, it feels more grueling than engaging. The addition of some old drivers doesn’t feel like a real update or any development to me. Since the story and career modes aren’t that good, the update doesn’t have much of an impact.

Codemasters once again shows their quality in sound design. The sounds of the car engines, track atmosphere, pit stop crew communications, and tire sounds are all sound very realistic. However, the success in the sound ambient doesn't fulfill the shortcomings in gameplay.


Visually, F1 24 isn't much different from other games in the series. While the car models and track details look promising, environmental details still need some improvements. When it comes to optimizing the game, the situation is quite complicated. While the console version provides a smooth experience, the PC version lacks this service and gives you more optimization issues. Many players(including myself) are complaining about getting FPS drops midgame. I can't even play the game properly because I'm experiencing too much FPS drops.


In F1 24, the driver ratings have been revised once again. However, this system lacks the variety and density players were expecting. The skill system feels superficial and seems to have been added just to make players think that something like this was included, rather than creating a real impact. In fact, it's as if the skill system doesn't exist because it has no noticeable place on the game. If it wasn't there, its absence wouldn't be felt that much.

One of the biggest disappointments in F1 24 is the physics engine. The car physics are too far from realistic, offering more of an arcade-like experience. Also there’s a noticeable regression, especially in cornering mechanics and tire dynamics. For players looking for like a simulation feel, the softening of the physics can be quite disappointing. On the other hand, the AI is impeccable. I’ve never seen them make a mistake, and they drive flawlessly. Even when car performances are similar, they are always faster than us on the straights. Sometimes they’re really dumb, other times they’re overly competitive.
most races.


The inclusion of former drivers is a positive step for creating nostalgia, but aside from expanding the driver roster, it doesn’t really add any significant stuff to the game. The absence of classic F1 cars is a major insufficiency for players. The classic cars from previous games were the game elements that enhanced the appeal of the series. However, this feature has been overlooked in F1 24. Moreover, the absence of supercars in the game is a really strange decision.


The game offers a certain level of replayability throughout its online modes. However, due to missing content and inadequate physics, it fails to maintain the same excitement in the long run. While the career mode has a slightly higher replayability, the lack of content such as having no supercars and classic F1 cars reduces the our motivation to play the game over and over.
