I loathed this game. It simultaneously repeated itself constantly and yet starts with a reference to an obscure character which is never explained. It is full of movie references that add nothing to the story, as well as the same cheap jumpscares, doors that shut behind you, and areas changing when you turn around that got overdone in the first game. It hurt me to play, and yet I played it all. I couldn't even think of a review funnier than "Credit Rembrandt You Cowards".

Bloober team are also shitty to disabled people and women in the writing, and don't properly warn you about some of the more... tasteless suicide imagery in the game. I got genuinely mad about how poorly it handled this. It is astounding that this team is being trusted with a Silent Hill 2 remake, considering that their core weaknesses are core themes in that game.

It gets half a star because I can flush the toilet repeatedly and the 3d models are quite pretty.
