Little of what makes Silent Hill HD Collection excellent has anything to do with its enhancements. Slight improvements certainly help refresh Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 visually, and the new voice recordings sound far more human than the laughable original acting. Really, the best thing about this re-release is what hasn't changed.
Even after all this time, these frightening experiences exist in a place most modern horror games or Silent Hill sequels can't quite reach.
Time has, as it often does, eroded important parts of the original foundations. Unclear objectives and out-there puzzles frequently left me at a complete loss. I wandered through empty hallways holding items with no apparent purpose for a long time before falling back on decade-old guides.
Silent Hill HD Collection reminds adults that, like children, they have deep, irrational fears. Silent Hill 2 remains a modern masterpiece, and the HD Collection proves it will stand the test of time regardless of technical or control constraints. Silent Hill 3, while not quite in the league of its predecessor, presents a similarly strong understanding of survival horror. Both are made from the same stuff that gives us nightmares.
