Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia Page Targeted by False Review Bombing
The Silent Hill 2 Remake's Wikipedia entry was recently the target of coordinated edits, resulting in inaccurate and artificially lowered 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, although speculation online points to a potential connection with "anti-woke" sentiments.
The page has since been corrected and is currently under semi-protection.
Despite the online controversy, the Silent Hill 2 Remake, released in early access, has generally received positive critical reception. For example, Game8 awarded the game a score of 92/100, praising its ability to evoke strong emotional responses in players. The full release is scheduled for October 8th.
