Hekki grace, it’s an experience I won’t forget for a long time. Multiple places in its story I related to. Oppression, trauma, loneliness, etc. And it tackles these points expertly in its impactful sci-fi narrative.

Cannot recommend it enough.

Hearing Bloober Team was working on this gave me a pretty mellow reaction its announcement since I wasn't really too huge of a fan of their previous work.

Couldn't be more happy that I was completely wrong.
Bloober team has shown intense care and love to the IP and SH2. Lovingly crafted and haunting in almost every department.
Silent Hill 2 Remake is an incredible game.
And is a perfect example on how to do remakes right.

Its an experience I won't forget for a very long time. Not a single moment of this game I wasn't on the edge of my seat.
Cannot recommend this enough.

10/10

All these awards…. I get it now

This is more to Sony than Arrowhead.
The mandatory required PSN account registration / login is no longer the case. Which is great.

However, the game is STILL delisted on multiple regions and countries on Steam due to Sony's region requirements on PSN.
As someone who has used PSN for years, I've loathed their region lock BS ever since. And there is no reason for Helldivers 2 to still be delisted on Steam for countries that are not supported on PSN.

As they have for years now, Sony continues to treat developing countries at the bottom of the priority list, and it seems the case is the same with their products on Steam.

I literally cannot tell my friends to buy this game anymore so we can play, since I live in one of the (now) unsupported countries. Even though I managed to get it before it was delisted.

I cannot recommend this game soley because of that. There is no reason for this region garbage to be on PC as well.

Constant crashes on the round screen.
Getting locked into the drones in the drone phase.
Bugs when aiming down sights.

Thank you Yves Guillemot for laying off people who could've fixed this, just to appease fat caviar eating shareholders.

Fun game. When it works.

Opiates are less addictive.

The game is really fun.
More so with friends. I'd say my only complaint so far is that I wish weapons were more modular.
Switch scopes, stocks, grips. Would've made it more involved, but honestly its fine the way it is.

However, A CRITICISM I have is the AI announcers.
Just stop with the low effort crap. You've already put in so much effort into the game and its paid off, so why skip out and be lazy with the announcers with some AI garbage.
Hire some professional voice actors and find a way to make it dynamic instead of being lazy. The way it is, you can tell its low effort AI garbage. Its painfully obvious and its a poor "performance".

Probably the most fun I've had with a co-op game in recent memory.
Absolutely hectic and it still stays fresh every time.

Can't recommend it enough.

ROCK AND STONE!

This game really makes you FEEL like a black teen with an exaggerated swagger

Expediting the optimization of the game to Interns is never a good idea, Activision.

Maybe you should've spent more money there than overpaying your scumbag CEO.
