In our Silent Hill 2 review, we raved about the chilling atmosphere (and nostalgia value) of Bloober Team’s ground-up PS5 remake of Konami’s 2001 survival horror classic. It's genuinely additive, and the audio design sends shivers down the spine. Now imagine that in VR.... well one modder has delivered!

Developer Praydog has published a VR mod for Silent Hill 2 that goes beyond a mere a profile of its universal UEVR injector, and is more along the line of what it did with the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3. The new Silent Hill 2 can be played in first person with controllers and many features of a native VR game, and it looks terrifying.
