Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia Page Targeted by False Review Bombing
Following the early access release of the Silent Hill 2 Remake, the game's Wikipedia page was subject to numerous edits inserting inaccurate and lower review scores. This apparent act of vandalism, seemingly perpetrated by dissatisfied fans, prompted Wikipedia administrators to temporarily lock the page to prevent further alterations. The motivations behind this review bombing remain unclear, though speculation points to disagreements with the game's development. The page has since been corrected and is under temporary protection.
Despite the online controversy, the Silent Hill 2 Remake, released in early access with a full launch on October 8th, has largely received positive critical acclaim. For example, Game8 awarded the game a 92/100 rating, praising its ability to evoke strong emotional responses in players.
