Silent Hill titles have adhered to a tradition of short playtimes and future games shouldn't necessarily follow Silent Hill 2's remake in breaking it.

The Silent Hill 2 remake doesnt change a lot. It maintains its most iconic elements where they count, creating an authentic atmosphere.

The plot of Silent Hill 2 centers on James Sunderland, a man still reeling from the loss of his wife, Mary, who passed away three years ago. Out of nowhere, James receives a mysterious letter from Mary herself, claiming that she’s waiting for him in their "special place" — a spot in the quiet town of Silent Hill where they once vacationed.
