Summary

  • PC version of Silent Hill 2 Remake has noticeable stuttering and poor graphics, despite offering enhanced visuals over the PS5 version
  • The game suffers from widespread graphical issues that have been attributed to its foundational programming
  • While downscaling resolution and cap frame rate can lessen the issue, they don’t fully resolve the overarching problem with the game
  • Fans have criticised both the performance and visual oddities present in the game, with many advocating for refunds due to the inhibited experience it provides.
  • Weak optimisation and graphical quirks are prevalent throughout, requiring substantial improvements for it to provide the quality expected on PC platforms.
  • Though it is presumably optimised for the newest Xbox and PlayStation consoles, the remake’s tech underpinnings and the game itself could have benefited from more substantial changes and a longer development timeline.
