Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia Page Targeted by Review Bombing
The Wikipedia entry for the Silent Hill 2 Remake has been the target of a coordinated review bombing campaign by disgruntled fans. Following the early access release, inaccurate and deflated review scores were added to the page by users seemingly opposed to the remake.
Possible "Anti-Woke" Motivation
The widespread dissemination of false review information prompted Wikipedia administrators to temporarily lock down the page, placing it under semi-protection. While the exact reasons behind the review bombing remain unclear, speculation points towards an "anti-woke" agenda among a segment of the fanbase unhappy with the Bloober Team's development of the remake. The page has since been corrected and protected from further unauthorized edits.
Positive Critical Reception
Despite the online controversy, the Silent Hill 2 Remake has generally received positive reviews from critics. For example, Game8 awarded the game a score of 92/100, praising its emotional impact and effective execution. The full release is scheduled for October 8th.
