Out of nowhere GOG added the SILENT HILL 2 remake from Bloober Team SA and KONAMI, so now more people get to play this highly rated horror DRM-free. It's also 30% off for a whole week too which is the joint cheapest it has been with the Steam release.

High-end Graphics and Sound

With ray tracing and other cutting-edge technical enhancements, the world of SILENT HILL and its unsettling ambiance is even realer than before.

And with the inclusion of new, immersive soundscapes, you'll feel like you're standing in the thick of it.

Larger Environments

Explore locations and buildings that were once inaccessible, or are newly added in the remake.

Enjoy the same acclaimed story, even while you experience the town of Silent Hill with fresh eyes across an expanded map.

Over-the-shoulder Camera

The remake moves from the original's fixed-camera viewpoints to an over-the-shoulder perspective, putting you closer to what James sees, for a more thrilling, more immersive experience as you explore the town and come face-to-face with monsters.

Evolved Combat Gameplay

Familiar weapons like the steel pipe and handgun make their return, but now with an updated combat system.

Avoid attacks with carefully timed dodges, aim down sights, and more, making monster encounters more engaging and nerve-wracking than ever.

It's good to see that GOG are getting big games in addition to keeping up with the expansion of their support for old games like Breath of Fire IV for PC and Star Wars games.

SILENT HILL 2 | Release Date: 8th October 2024

A silent release for a Silent Hill game, and a modern one at that. Very tempted to buy it, even at that price.

Did some research, it appears the game was DRM-Free to begin with, even on Steam (the client was only needed to download the game files).

Also wondering how well it actually runs

From the digital foundry video I watched last year the game looks like a complete stutter fest
