Silent Hill 2 Remake is excellent and I would recommend to anyone who loves psychological horror games.

I remember watching my mom play the original Silent Hill 2 when I was a little kid and how scared but mesmorized I would be watching her play. I played as well some years later and SH2 was the game that brought me into the Silent Hill universe and I'm still in love with today, to even have cosplayed Heather Mason in the beggining of this year.

I'm very fond of this game and Silent Hill 2 was game that actually needed a remake (finally an actual old game got a remake when most remakes nowadays are from relatively more recent games) so when I finally ended my first playthrough it made me so happy that Bloober Team made such a fantastic job with SH2, because I wasn't putting a lot of faith in it.

The atmosphere of the game is surreal, the characters have so much complexity and the soundtrack is outstanding, I was completely immersed during the entire game, which to me is quite rare and I don't feel it very often as I did when I was younger. Regarding the endings, taking into account only what is in the game, I believe that the way players interpret them will depend a lot on their views on guilt, redemption and the weight of James' actions and the fact that each ending can be considered by different people “good” or “bad” reflects this emotional complexity in the story.
This game is wonderful, showing how troubled the human mind can be, even though it's only fictional characters, it brings up very serious issues and unfortunately that's a reality for many.

Luke Roberts was wonderful as James. He totally became James Sunderland. He completely embraced the character and made James' turmoil so much more tangible and impactful. His performance made me fall in love with SH2 all over again. It's honestly one of the best video game performances I've seen in a long time. His interactions with the other characters are great, but I especially love when he talks to Laura (played by Evie Templeton) because they both had a history with Mary. I'm so glad we had him for this remake. And man, what a sensational remake. I hope Konami and Bloober Team remake the other games too, especially SH1, we need some Harry love!

Sally Face is a very emotional game. It has such a beautiful story, beautiful characters and friendships. You just experience the events and feel them along with the characters. If you're into this indie type of art, you'll love Sally Face.
It has almost every single answers to all the questions they created throughout the chapters. Although, there is a lot of things that are left open on Chapter 5, even because there is a Sally Face 2 happening. But, I believe, it was on purpose for that reason. The many letters and notes that we collect while playing, explain everything that was happening in Nockfell since 1930 (Chapter 5 takes place in 2004). I remember playing the first episode when it first came out and it helped me a lot mentally. Although, it has a dark theme and if you're easily disturbed/triggered by this type of genre, I warn you to be careful and rethink it.
My final review is actually a 10/10. Definitely one of my favorite indie game stories I've played. It's really worth buying this game and having the experience to play it all.

If you played or like Until Dawn, this game is for you. Just don't expect it to be as good as it. It is good, I like it, although very short for only one playthrough so it's kinda overpriced for that reason. But, it's a game with multiple endings, I recommend trying to get other endings so it doesn't feel like you wasted your money.
And, in my opinion, what make this game "good" is that it has an explanation for all that's happening, it's not just a ghost boat and whatever.
Recommend waiting for sale to buy the game.

Well, I've played this game in 2015 but only decided to do a review now, since at the time I didn't play on steam.
At first, I already imagined I couldn't take it. Everytime a play a game, read a book or watch a movie, I "deliever" my soul to it, because I like to emerge into the entertainment of the story.
This game is about story. Even with not the best graphics, it doesn't matter. The story gives you emotions.
I didn't only cry because of the choices in the end but because all the player did to get to the final, all the choices, everything we did ended. The characters are amazing, really well made and written (Despite Max being a little "?" sometimes). Life is Strange is a masterpiece.
I recommend this for people who prefer the story and not really the gameplay. When I saw the trailer before lauching, I expected the game to be good but not this good. My expectations weren't that big and it suprised me a lot. No matter how many times I play, I end up sobbing.
