Today’s game is Silent Hill 2. I made my way through the Hospital (I had to call it a bit short though due to being in handheld mode on my Steam Deck and the battery going fast). I wanted to try something a bit different today with the screenshot, so i observed Mary’s letter and zoomed in, seeing if i could get a item shot with the angle. I think it came out decent, the lack of control really though makes it feel kind of cheap. still, i think it’s pretty and really showcase’s how gorgeous this game is.

I also got the shotgun, which made dealing with enemies a whole lot easier. Now instead of loading 4 pistol rounds into an enemies leg, i pop them in the knee with the shotgun and thwack them with Jame’s trusty metal pipe. It has definitely made my life a lot easier, though i try to save rounds for the bosses, so lying figures and mannequins i try to melee when i can.

I also got this screenshot of the main wing of the hospital, which i thought showcased the game’s pretty atmosphere. Besides just giving me Batman Arkham Asylum vibes, the lighting is so well done that i feel like there’s always going to be something hiding right in a corner, like that dark hallway in the screenshot. I few times i jumped because i thought i heard a Nurse, only for it to turn out to be a random background noise.

I’m wanting to do the New Game+ for this too. Seeing as how i have to get both the speedrunning achievement for Uncharted 4 and the speedrunning achievement for this game, i think I’ll probably do a brief intermission of popping on over to Uncharted 4, beating that in under 6 hours, and then trying to beat Silent Hill 2 in under 10 hours (assuming i don’t get it automatically in my first run, i am already at 7 so idk)
