Silent Hill 2 Remake Review Bombed on Wikipedia by Angry Fans

Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia Vandalized by Disgruntled Fans

Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia Page Targeted by False Reviews

The Silent Hill 2 Remake's Wikipedia entry was recently subject to a wave of inaccurate review score edits, seemingly orchestrated by disgruntled fans.

Potential Link to "Anti-Woke" Sentiment

Following numerous instances of misinformation regarding the game's review scores, Wikipedia administrators implemented semi-protection on the page. Groups of fans, unhappy with Bloober Team's remake, altered the page to display artificially low review scores from various outlets. The motivation behind this review bombing remains unclear, although speculation points to potential "anti-woke" sentiments. The page has since been corrected and locked to prevent further unauthorized edits.

The Silent Hill 2 Remake recently launched in early access (full release October 8th) and garnered largely positive critical reception. For example, Game8 awarded it a 92/100 score, praising its emotional impact on players.
