Summary
Silent Hill 2 RemakefromBloober Teamhas a trophy that rewards the player for trying to leave Silent Hill at the beginning of the game (thanks,Automaton).
‘No Turning Back Now’ is awarded to the player if they turn around and attempt to leave Silent Hill while James is on the Observation Deck. Unfortunately, as the name implies, there is no leaving Silent Hill. The omniscient player can’t save James from his ill-advised romp torural Maine.
If Only We Could Leave
The description for the trophy reads as follows, “Try to leave Silent Hill in the Observation Deck area.” It’s a neat inclusion from Bloober Team and reflects what most rational beings would do when placed in situations like James Sunderland or Resident Evil 7’s Ethan Winters. When pursuing a missing or deceased woman in an off-putting location, maybe you should just leave rather than press on ahead.
Silent Hill 2’s Remake is set to release on October 8 for PC and PlayStation 5. It will be a timed console exclusive on PlayStation 5 for at least a year. It’s a reasonable assumption that Silent Hill 2 Remake will be released on Xbox Series X/S when the exclusivity period is over in October 2025. Though, there is no confirmation of this.
Silent Hill 2 Remake has debuted to generally positive reviews, which has inexplicably pushed some dissatisfied people to vandalise the game’s Wikipedia page, editing infake low review scoresto push their misguided narrative. Players who pre-ordered the deluxe edition of the game have already been playing and enjoying the Silent Hill 2 Remake, as evidenced by itsoverwhelmingly positive review scoreson Steam.
Our own James Kennedy reviewed the Silent Hill 2 Remake, calling it “a high fidelity version of the original with remixed puzzles and item locations,” in his3.5/5 review.
