Pretty original story
very appropriate length
good visuals, music and sound design
Fairly linear
simplistic so replay worthiness is limited
I do not understand the sheer lauding of this game. Yes, it’s better than the original with a deeper narrative that isn’t so ambiguous. Yes, it has better characterization, etc. etc. But seriously this game was MEGA easy. You could literally walk around maybe 80% of the enemies at all times and never take damage from them, and while the puzzles were sort of interesting, the rest of the world that was constructed either felt too cramped or too sparse. In the end, the best I can say is it has pretty great visuals and sound design, but that’s par for the course with Silent Hill games.
