“Great story, puzzles felt challenging without being too difficult, combat doesn't feel great but made it through. Love the vibes, the characters, and of course pyramid head <33333”
“This game screwed me up Honestly though it was an amazing experience, the story was sick and all but like I have never felt so many different feelings at once. I was confused, disgusted, sad, angry, amazed. I was…”
“Just play the damn game (If you have a decent computer). It's one of the best stories out there. If literature teachers talked about games this would be at the forefront of infinite things to pick apart.”

“I love survival horror genre. I've been looking for SH2 for a very long time, but being old and console-oriented kinda stopped me from putting too much effort into it. Luckily, remake helped me to fill this gap. And…”
“9.5/10 Отличная атмосфера, я бы даже сказал наигустейшая, саунд дизайнанеры боги, один из лучших аудио экспериенсов. На момент обзора до сих пор не пофиксили фризы при подгрузке локаций.”
“I never thought i'd get emotional playing this game, like i actually cried. This game is perfect, the soundtracks, the atmosphere and the puzzles everything about it. I never played the original one but i remember…”

“I 100% completed this. got all the endings, found everything. and I still can't forget it. Not because of jumpscares or whatever. there's barely any. it's about the vibe, especially if you're playing with a dualsense controller. you're just walking through fog, hearing your own…”

Even Decades Later, The Atmosphere, Storytelling, And Symbolism Put Most Modern Horror Games To Shame.
