Silent Hill 2: Fan Outrage Targets Remake Preview on Wikipedia

Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia Page Vandalized by Disgruntled Fans

Silent Hill 2 Remake's Wikipedia entry was recently targeted by fans who altered the game's review scores following its early access launch.

Wikipedia Page Targeted by False Reviews Amidst "Anti-Woke" Speculation

Following numerous instances of inaccurate review scores being added to the Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia page, administrators locked down the page, implementing semi-protection. A group of fans, seemingly dissatisfied with Bloober Team's remake, modified the page to display artificially lower review scores from various sources. The motive behind this review bombing remains uncertain, though speculation points to an "anti-woke" backlash. The page has since been corrected and protected from further unauthorized edits.

The Silent Hill 2 Remake, currently 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 emotional impact on players.
