Everything that the Silent Hill 2 remake changes notwithstanding, its no small feat that Bloober and Konami were able to reimagine the classic with twice as much content. In a series where no installment exceeds 10 hours in length unless played slowly or to 100% completion, 1520 hoursat least on a cold playthroughis incredibly disarming because of how much content is explored linearly or scripted for mandatory progression. This length is nonchalant at best and safe at worst if it was associated with any other modern AAA game. But, as a Silent Hill entry, its difficult to overstate how pivotal the direction of Silent Hill 2s remake could be to the franchises future.
