Silent Hill 2 Remake PC Optimization Guide - Best Graphics Settings for 60 FPS
220Glad to be back after over a year. But I'm gonna be honest with you, the reason I was gone for so long is not just because I'm busy on my corporate job, but mainly because of modern gaming itself. I just don't find the game design of modern games to be compelling or exciting anymore. Especially this year 2024. Games nowadays do not treat players like they're functioning adults anymore. And if I don't like playing the game, I won't waste my time learning about its graphics settings and technical aspects; it's just not worth my time and effort.
But here we are, October 2024, and Silent Hill 2 remake has just arrived, and since the original game is one of the most memorable gaming experiences in my life, I have to be back. Let's go.
Silent Hill 2 is very demanding but it is definitely playable. Just take note of which graphics settings to tweak and most importantly, be particular on which areas to test them on.
