Do I play this or Silent Hill 2 remake?

Unfortunately I don't have as much time to play video games anymore, but I love horror games and need to play at least one this month.

It really depends on what kind of horror experience you're looking for.

Until Dawn is more of an interactive story-driven game where your choices shape the fate of the characters. It’s a cinematic experience where you mainly explore and make decisions, with occasional moments of action that rely on Quick-Time Events. The focus here is on narrative, branching paths, and character relationships, so if you enjoy a game where your decisions directly influence the story, this could be a great pick.

On the other hand, Silent Hill 2 Remake is a classic survival horror experience. It’s more about atmosphere, exploration, fighting and puzzle-solving. You’ll need to manage your resources carefully—finding ammo, health items, and tools to solve puzzles. The game takes place in a semi-open-world environment where danger lurks everywhere, and the tension is constantly building as you navigate through eerie locations and confront terrifying enemies. If you enjoy psychological horror, deep symbolism, and survival elements, Silent Hill 2 will deliver a more intense and immersive horror experience.

In summary:
If you prefer an interactive, story-heavy experience with decision-making and minimal action, go for Until Dawn.
If you want a tense survival horror game with more exploration, resource management, and combat, then Silent Hill 2 Remake is likely a better fit.

EDIT:
I bought Silent Hill 2 because I already played Until Dawn a couple of years ago, so it wouldn't offer anything new for me at that price. I’ve never played any Silent Hill games before, and since Silent Hill 2 is a standalone game, it’s a great starting point for players to jump into the series without needing to know anything about the universe.

Neither. Play the originals instead of these ruined "remakes".

[Apocryphox]

Both are great.

[Sharkon]

play "The Quarry" instead if you haven't already.

Silent Hill 2 is probably a better game but Until Dawn has stuff you will like if you are a fan of horror movies while SH2 is more Japanese horror fantasy with weird body horror type stuff that really just ends up being a puzzle game with some combat and ugly environments. This game is a QTE simulator but you get more American horror movie vibes with actual actors instead of weird people faces.

The Silent Hill 2 remake is perfect in just about every way, wtf are you even talking about?

Nothing about Silent hill 2 is woke, they expanded on the original.

Depends.

Do you want a short-but-sweet game? Or a longer experience?

Because UD is shorter.

Play Silent Hill 2, Until Dawn is too bugged right now. If you'd rather play a game like Until Dawn play The Quarry

[ShadowSkill11]

I'd read up on the type of gameplay presented, the length of the game, and it's replayability. Those two games are nothing alike so pick the one you would want to play more first.
