I had some issues with the area crashing a bunch but loved it and the new Labyrinth.

They also made it easier to obtain a rifle

So much ammo there too. I came out of that thing with like 80 HG rounds.

A lot of people have said they have experienced crashes, I am running on minimum graphics and luckily haven't had that issue

You didnt like the original prison? Was like one of the best parts of the original (and remake) for me. So many cool and terrifying things. The noose puzzles, the long staircase, the abundance of strange holes, the otherworldly design that perfectly utilizes the video-gaminess, etc.

the OG prison was always a spot that i dreaded cause it creeped me out. THe remake ramped that up to 11.

yes and no. I think overall, it was a lot better. However, it is also borderline impossible to sneak passed any creatures, so it ends up draining you of resources quite a bit and starts to feel tedious. The read tedium comes from returning to that main room, at which time there are even more enemies, and you have to get to the next door.

So overall I think it is better designed than the OG prison, but it is also a bit more annoying too.

And all of that is still present in the remake--and more.

Nah prison was fine, I think the part that bored me a little were the apartments and that part underground where pyramid head is roaming, besdies that it was ok, I always liked SIlent Hill 1 more than 2
