One of the few complaints I have about this issue is Silent Hill 2 The problem is that remakes are too often dark, making it difficult for players to see and appreciate the flashy details. Using a flashlight certainly improves the situation, but even so, there are times when the game becomes overly paced due to a complete lack of light.

I think Silent Hill 2 The extended runtime of the remake also works in some cases. In the second half of the game, things started to feel repetitive.
