Wikipedia Locks Down Silent Hill 2 Remake Page
Following repeated vandalism, Wikipedia has made the decision to lock down the Silent Hill 2 Remake page. This action came after editors continuously posted false information about the game’s reception and Metacritic score. One edit even claimed that the game had “received the worst reviews imaginable,” which was entirely untrue as it actually received top marks.
It appears that the motivation behind these edits may be linked to the misguided belief that the game is “woke” due to changes made to character designs. Alternatively, some fans may be unhappy that Silent Hill 2 was remade by Bloober Team or remade at all.

Despite the controversy, early reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with the game currently holding a high user score on Steam. While only a select few have had access to the deluxe edition with early gameplay, initial impressions suggest a favorable reception.
One review from Eurogamer praised the game, stating, “It doesn’t matter if you’ve never played Silent Hill 2 before. It also doesn’t matter if you have. Silent Hill 2 Remake’s heady blend of old and new delivers the best horror I’ve played for years, and I suspect that will hold true even for those meeting James for the first time.” The review awarded the game a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.
