I continued Silent Hill 2 today. The game is Terrifying. I ran into the Mannequins for the first time and i don’t know what it is but they unsettle me the most, and it doesn’t help i suck at fighting them.

On top of that there’s a section where the Pyramid Head Thing is watching you through some bars. He left at some point and when i came back it had me on edge for the next hour. This game manages to play all it’s cards perfectly, i love it.

This game manages to look really pretty too. i feel like so much care and attention was put into every part of it, like the paint peeling on the walls looks so well done. The only thing that’s taken me out of it is Jame’s hair being kind of Bright, but 1) I think that’s a graphics issue with my Steam Deck and 2) Switching from FSR 1.0 and TSR fixed it for the most part.

I think this game is going to be very light on Screenshots for posts too. Mostly because i want to avoid Spoilers for others with the game’s “newer” state and also because the game lacks a dedicated photo mode so most shots just come out as “over James’ shoulder” shots.

      I had to lower the graphics today because performance started dropping later in the game for some reason. I was fully expecting it to be noticeable with the drop in quality but honestly it still looks really pretty on the lowest settings
