Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia Page Targeted by Review Bombing
Following the early access release of the Silent Hill 2 Remake, the game's Wikipedia page was subject to a coordinated effort by disgruntled fans to alter its review scores. The edits falsely lowered the reported scores from various gaming publications.
Speculation of "Anti-Woke" Motivation
The incident has sparked speculation online, with some suggesting the review bombing is linked to an "anti-woke" agenda, though no definitive evidence has been presented. The motivations behind the vandalism remain unclear.
Wikipedia administrators responded by temporarily locking the page to prevent further edits, restoring the accurate review scores. The page remains semi-protected.
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 on players. The full release is scheduled for October 8th.
