TheSilent Hill 2 remakefrom Bloober Team will allow you to turn off all UI elements for a more immersive experience, and there’s also a ’90s-style filter paying homage to the original horror classic…
The original Silent Hill 2 famously had zero on-screen UI during gameplay sequences, not even a health bar, which made getting lost an essential part of the experience. However, if you decide to disable the HUD in Silent Hill 2 Remake,Bloober saysyou’ll then start seeing and hearing visual and audio cues to let you know what you’re supposed to be doing. For example, the main character James will glance toward areas of interest and display different animations and facial expressions when he’s wounded, presumably to let you know you should heal up.
