Silent Hill 2 is remembered fondly by many players as one of the greatest survival horror video-games ever created. I certainly enjoyed it when I first played it, but I want to revisit it again someday before I log an official review for it.

It isn't simply one of the best survival horror games ever made, but it helped define pure horror for video-games.

As for Bloober, yeah, ... I'm skeptical, but I'm trying to approach it with an open mind. They've mostly made walking sims and so, they're unproven in being able to make a Silent Hill game.

Bloober's definitely derivative to all hell. Layers of Fear was generic and The Medium wasn't great either. They handle mental illness in a fairly careless way. I am hoping Konami (as bad as they can be) will oversee them and keep their worse qualities from shining through.
