It's the puzzles you may encounter throughout your gameplay, and in some cases, you may need to smash some objects to find something useful.

Of course, there are different endings in this game. How will you encounter them? You'll have to play the entire game to find out.

Silent Hill 2 was no doubt one of the all-time survival horror greats when it first came out in 2001. With this 2024 remake, there are plenty of reasons to revisit a terrifying classic from a whole new perspective. Brace yourselves. The Red Pyramid Thing is awaiting your unforgiving return to this worldwide phenomenon.
