Hey Tap Tap family
Let’s be honest most horror games rely on cheap jump scares to scare you. But for me, real horror is the kind that gets inside your head, messes with your emotions, and makes you question reality. I want a game that’s so disturbing that even after turning it off, I keep thinking about it, And if you like me who love this type of psychological horror games that mess with your mind, then Silent Hill 2 Remake is a game that's you wants. This game is the scariest, most emotional, and most disturbing game I ever played. This remake rebuilds the legendary survival horror experience with stunning visuals, modern gameplay, and the same terrifying atmosphere that made the original a masterpiece.
If you like Resident Evil, The Evil Within, or Fatal Frame, then you also like Silent Hill 2 Remake.

Silent Hill 2 isn’t about shooting everything in sight it’s about fear, mystery, and survival that we all want. The remake switches from fixed camera angles to a third person perspective, this third person perspective make everything more immersive and terrifying. Fights are slow and Enemies are relentless, you know why because James is not a fighter he is a normal person so you need to conserve ammo, choose fights wisely, and run when needed.
