First Impressions

It's true: Bloober Team is remaking Silent Hill 2. Talk about it in here to keep Remake talk separate from the original!

Right now I'm a chunk of the way through the Woodside Apartments. I reduced the gamma to make the game darker, and holy shit is this game scary. As a SH2 veteran I never expected to raise an eyebrow, but now that things are different and the enemies are smarter I feel myself being extremely cautious. I'm not sure how I feel about combat being streamlined into stick for melee and your choice of guns on the fly, but it's definitely a lot more involved than the OG's. I kind of spoilered myself on certain parts but I look forward to experiencing it myself.
Now I want you to think, and stop being a smart-aleck.

Woodside is nothing. If you're scared already I fear for you later on.
"Oh yeah, I've been here before
I can see it with eyes closed
Shadows that look like blood
Dead as far as the mind goes
Fear that comes from my head
Lives in the mirror"

It could just be the 25 health drinks and 16 syringes I have in store, but I'm actually a lot less scared now that I'm about to enter the labyrinth. :P Unless the scariest is yet to come!

EDIT: I think I might know which area you were referring to, and if so, it was pretty spoopy.

I just finished Brookhaven. For the most part, I'm enjoying the remake. I felt that the PH/Maria sequence at the end of Brookhaven didn't hit as hard as the original, personally. It felt kind of... hollow. I also feel like there are just way too many enemies in the overworld. I'm playing on Standard and they're bloody everywhere.
Under the burning sun I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
