Angry Silent Hill 2 Remake Fans Post Fake Reviews on Wikipedia
Speculation Centers on "Anti-Woke" Sentiment
Following repeated instances of misinformation regarding Silent Hill 2 Remake's review scores on its Wikipedia page, the page was locked by Wikipedia administrators, and remains semi-protected. Groups of fans, seemingly dissatisfied with Bloober Team's remake, altered the page to display fabricated, lower review scores from various outlets. The precise motive behind this review bombing remains unclear, although speculation points towards dissatisfaction with the game. The Wikipedia page has since been corrected and protected from further unauthorized edits.
Silent Hill 2 Remake, recently released in early access (with full release on October 8th), has generally received positive critical acclaim. For example, Game8 awarded it a 92/100 rating, praising its ability to evoke strong emotional responses in players.
