The recent early access release of the Silent Hill 2 Remake has sparked controversy among fans, leading to a wave of false review scores being posted on the game's Wikipedia page. This act of review bombing has caught the attention of the internet community, with many speculating that the discontent may stem from an "anti-woke" sentiment among some fans. However, the specific reasons behind this backlash remain unclear.
In response to the repeated misinformation, Wikipedia has taken steps to lock down the Silent Hill 2 Remake page, which is now semi-protected to prevent further unauthorized edits. This action was necessary after groups of fans, seemingly dissatisfied with the remake developed by Bloober Team, manipulated the page to display lower, inaccurate review scores from various publications. The page has since been corrected and secured to maintain the integrity of the information provided.
Despite the negative actions of some fans, Silent Hill 2 Remake has garnered positive feedback from critics upon its early access release. The full release is scheduled for October 8. Notably, Game8 has rated the game at an impressive 92/100, praising its ability to deliver a deeply emotional experience to players.
