Silent Hill 2 remake is better than the original, but it’s a worse game for it

There’s no denying that Bloober’s accomplished and expansive Silent Hill 2 remake exceeded expectations, though I still prefer the 2001 classic’s terror-inducing, mind-warping creativity. Silent Hill 2 remake is technically a more proficient videogame than Team Silent’s original. It looks better, plays better, meets the expectations of the day, and builds out the town of Silent Hill in ambitious ways. Yet the original’s technical limitations and the artistry holding it together due to and in spite of those possible pitfalls help to make it special.
