Day 134 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (pixelfed.social)

I'm close to finishing Silent Hill 2 today. The game nearly gave me a heart attack though. Not because of the game itself, but because i guess at some point my storage filled up and it wasn't writing save files correctly, so whenever James would load in he'd just spawn in a black Abyss.

Luckily some guy online had a save file right where i left off in the Labyrinth. So thankfully i didn't miss much, idk what ending i'll get though so that will be something to look forward too.

Going through the Otherworld town kept making me want to play Alan Wake II again (I might have a slight addiction). The rain and the city streets reminded me of Alan's Chapter, and then the Phone booth reminded me of how that was used in the story too:

Overall i'm really enjoying my time with this game. I'm hoping to 100% it so i can put it on my display case on my Steam profile right next to Fallout New Vegas and Alan Wake I.

I played silent hill and silent hill 2 long ago on a PS2, really enjoyed them and I'm up for giving this a go. Did you mention in another post that you're playing it on a steam deck? I would be doing the same, how's it going? Steam says it's unsupported.

It’s been playable. I play on Dock so i can usually lock it on max clock speed. But at 720p it runs pretty smoothly. There’s only been a few times where I’ve gone “okay, there’s some noticeable frame drops here” but even then it wasn’t any critical sections. It’s worth noting though that I haven’t reached the end so that’s subject to change

These posts have become a "guess the game" game for me. I look at the thumbnail first, make my guess, and then open the post to see if I was right and maybe get a little story along with the answer. :)

The stories are probably my favorite part of sharing the screenshots. It’s easier (and more fun) on Multiplayer games though imo. I feel like a lot of single player game’s stories boil down too “I made it to this point, I want to make it to this point next”
