SILENT HILL 2 Deluxe Edition

About the game

SILENT HILL 2 is a remake of a psychological survival horror game. James receives a letter from his deceased wife and travels to Silent Hill, a town tied to their shared memories, hoping to see her again. By the lake he meets a woman who closely resembles her and calls herself Maria. The updated version reworks graphics and sound: ray tracing and other technical enhancements make the game's world and its unsettling ambiance more realistic, while new soundscapes let the player feel inside the events. The map has been expanded, and players can explore buildings that were inaccessible in the original or newly added in the remake. A fixed camera has been replaced by an over-the-shoulder view that brings what James sees closer. Combat has also changed: the familiar steel pipe and handgun work differently, with timed dodges from attacks and aiming down sights added.

SILENT HILL 2 Deluxe Edition includes the game itself, a Digital Artbook, a Digital Soundtrack and the Pyramid Head Mask (pizza box). The additional materials suit those interested in the art and music of the game, as well as the option to use the mask in-game.
