Silent Hill 2 Director’s Cut Free Download Unfitgirl Woo hoo! I’ve finally got round to re-playing the Director’s Cut edition of “Silent Hill 2” (2001) This was a game that I first played sometime during my teenage years in the early-mid 2000s and it absolutely terrified me back then. I’d given up hope of ever playing it again until the PC port of “Silent Hill 4” (2004) got a re-release on GOG last year. I’d check the website every day, hoping that the second game would appear there too. But it never did… Then, whilst messing around with a glitchy and unstable “No BIOS needed!” PS2 emulator called “Play!”, I turned my old PS2 on with the hope of extracting the disc from it and was astonished to find that – somehow – the console was actually working properly again. I don’t know how this happened and I don’t care. After clearing some space to set it up properly, there was ONE game that I had to re-play on it…. Yes, the limited early game screenshots in this review were taken from a later partial playthrough with a better emulator called “PCSX2” (which requires a functioning PS2 and some technical knowledge to set up) and may not fully reflect the quality of playing this game on the original hardware. Still, I just had to do my full playthrough of THIS game in the intended way – with a rumbling controller in my hands and on a tiny TV screen in the corner of a quiet gloomy room.

If you want to play this game for the first time these days, the easiest and cheapest way is probably second-hand physical copies of the 2012 “Silent Hill HD Collection” for PS3/ XBOX 360 (which seem to be around the £30 mark at the time of writing in mid-April). However, that edition of the game is notorious for things like graphical glitches, altered voice-acting, stretched cutscenes etc… It’s better than nothing, but certainly not the best version. Alas, second-hand copies of the original PS2 and XBOX versions (not to mention the ultra-rare PC port) can often be even more expensive these days! It is a shame that a well-renowned classic such as this is not easily and widely available to new players and is, instead, either an expensive relic and/or something that only people who grew up at a certain time are lucky enough to still have. Anyway, let’s take a look at “Silent Hill 2”. This review will contain MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS – and you should really play it unspoiled if you can – and some DISTURBING IMAGES. The game begins with a man called James Sunderland staring into a mirror in a grotty public bathroom just outside the rural American town of Silent Hill. He is there because he has received a letter from his wife Mary, who tells him that she’s waiting for him in town in their “special place”. There’s only one slight catch…..

ENDINGS

One of the first things that I will say about this game is that, although it is scarier when you play it for the very first time, it is still an incredibly well-written and atmospheric psychological horror game that holds up surprisingly well when played these days. Yes, modern gamers may find the controls and camera a bit awkward, but the underlying game itself is – quite rightly – considered a timeless horror classic for a good reason. So, I should probably start by talking about the game’s horror elements, which consist of psychological horror, monster horror, creepy characters, cosmic horror, death-based horror, moral horror, creepy places, random creepy moments, creepy voices/sound effects, dark subject matter, body horror, tragic horror, gory horror, sexual horror, suspense etc… But, most of all, it is this game’s understated but all-consuming atmosphere that will haunt you after you’ve played it. It is a bleak, desolate and depressing game and almost everything in it is designed to enhance this gloomy mood. Even if you already know what all of the scary bits are, the overall mood of this game will still creep up on you and leave you feeling unsettled. Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition

In addition to some timelessly brilliant visual design and brilliantly creepy sound design, a lot of this is down to the sheer quality of the writing. Like the first game, a fair amount of the game’s backstory is kept fragmentary and mysterious – but there is also a much more well-defined main plot that slowly builds to a deeply harrowing climax. The interesting thing is that, even if you already know the plot twist, the game’s story still holds up because you’ll notice a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) foreshadowing and hints that you might have missed before. This is a game about death, loneliness, guilt and/or self-loathing. Even the conversations that James has with the motley crew of lost souls he meets, each one with a tragic or disturbing backstory, are often delivered in a slightly awkward and/or hesitant way that further emphasises the feelings of disconnection and deep loneliness that saturate this game. You are never told exactly what the world of the game is, but it is strongly implied to be either a vivid waking nightmare or a purgatory of some kind. Or both. And, yes, almost everything in the game is designed around James’ tortured psyche. Whether it is the medical, judicial and/or sexual symbolism of the monster designs, various background details (such as a creepy message scrawled on a wall implying that he is going to hell) or even the way that people he has just met will somehow know more about him than he does. Although the characterisation in this game is sometimes fragmentary or implied, James is probably one of the most complex, chilling and most well-written videogame protagonists that you’ll ever encounter.

the story kept me hooked cause it was a constant mystery.

Even if you already know how the game ends, you’ll still find yourself torn between despising him and feeling sorry for him. He doesn’t really come across as an outright villain. Instead, he comes across as more of a troubled, tragic and morally-ambiguous character who found himself in a terrible situation and made an even more terrible decision. He isn’t a cold-blooded psychopath, but a broken man racked with guilt who is trying to repress some of his worst memories – literally travelling to a town to search for someone he already knows is dead. Because he killed her. In taking another life, he also took all of the joy, hope and love out of his own life, leaving him as much a tragic figure of pity as a despicable murderer. The game is nuanced and well-written enough to handle all of this, and all sorts of other deeply disturbing subject matter (eg: bullying, depression, sex crimes, bereavement etc..), in a way that never feels tawdry or “edgy”. This is a “mature” game in the truest sense of the world. It tells a complex, emotional and thoroughly human story – appropriately treating it as a bleak and quietly disturbing tragedy rather than sensationalist shock value melodrama. Seriously, this game’s story is delivered in a way that is a world apart from many other videogames of the time. It is very much a work of Art. Football Manager 2020

I should probably talk about the actual gameplay too, which is fairly standard classic-style slow-paced survival horror gameplay You move using tank controls, the combat system is deliberately awkward (both to add suspense and a feeling of ugly brutality to monster encounters), you have to solve puzzles, you are encouraged to explore and there is also a semi-fixed camera system (where you can sometimes move the camera behind James by pressing a button). And, yes, it is well-worth exploring. Although my younger self accidentally left the hidden/unlockable “bullet adjust” option on – and it took me until at least halfway through the game to work out WHY it was easier than I remembered – you’ll find more than enough healing items and ammunition if you actually explore a bit and look carefully for them. They are reasonably small and often only signposted by James looking in their general direction. Likewise, if you use your resources carefully (eg: don’t waste ammo on the outdoor monsters – just run around or away from them them!), you’ll have more than enough. And, like in the first game, you can easily miss out on some of the most powerful weapons in the game if you don’t search for them. Seriously, there is absolutely no hand-holding in this respect. If you miss some weapons, then you miss them.

Like with the first game, this game is also a deliberately disorientating experience too. In addition to the tank controls and camera (which isn’t as awkward as the camera in the first game), be sure to check your map screen often too. Not only are the outdoor areas shrouded in dense fog, but the claustrophobic indoor areas are often illuminated by little more than James’ flashlight – meaning that it is very easy to get turned around or miss the door that you were trying to find. The game plays into this even further by including a maze-like segment where the map is filled in as you go along. Although this absolutely scared the crap out of me when I played it for the very first time, this time round I noticed that the maze subtly funnels you in the direction that you’re supposed to go – ensuring that you never get too lost.

As for the structure of the game, it is also very similar to the first game. In other words, there is a large open world for you to explore – albeit with routes sometimes blocked off and/or roaming monsters to ensure you don’t linger there too long – and a number of “levels” that you have to complete in a specific order. These take the form of an apartment building, a hospital, a museum/prison and a hotel. Sometimes, these locations will change into the series’ trademark rust-covered “otherworld”, although this doesn’t really happen as often as it does in – say – “Silent Hill 3” (2003). Still, whenever it does, it instantly adds extra drama and creepiness to the game. FOBIA – ST. DINFNA HOTEL

The game’s pacing is also superb too. Although, like many good horror games, it is a slower-paced experience (after all, scary horror games are NOT fast-paced action games!), there is still a good contrast between faster and slower-paced moments. James can run surprisingly quickly – with none of that modern “sprint bar” rubbish either – and monster encounters are often designed to be frantic, intense and claustrophobic things. Yet, there are plenty of slower moments where you will be methodically exploring or travelling, and also a few slower-paced set pieces (such as when James manually rows a boat across a lake) that are there to give you a chance to soak in the atmosphere, to build suspense or to let you think about the game’s story. Being a classic survival horror game, there are *groan* puzzles. Still, one cool feature about this game is that there are separate difficulty settings for both the puzzles and combat. Many of the puzzles consist of inventory puzzles, but there are also more traditional puzzles that require you to look for clues and think about them. Or check a walkthrough. Still, even though I relied on the latter probably more than I should have, I – someone who is terrible at videogame puzzles – still managed to solve a few on my own at the “easy” difficulty setting.
