Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia Page Targeted by False Reviews
Following the early access release of the Silent Hill 2 Remake, the game's Wikipedia entry was subject to review bombing by disgruntled fans. These edits falsely lowered the reported review scores from various gaming publications.
Speculation Centers on "Anti-Woke" Sentiment
The motivations behind this coordinated misinformation campaign remain unclear. However, online speculation points towards a backlash from fans unhappy with aspects of the Bloober Team developed remake, possibly fueled by "anti-woke" sentiment. Wikipedia administrators responded by temporarily locking the page to prevent further edits.
Positive Critical Reception Despite Controversy
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.
