Silent Hill 2 Takes Sharp Drop
Horror fans may be disappointed to find out that Silent Hill 2 took a steep drop in the UK sales charts last week. It debuted in second place and has tumbled to 31st. Reviews have been positive for Silent Hill 2, however, which makes this a surprising development. “It succeeds at recreating the same tension-filled atmosphere with a sense of dread that only grows as James progresses in his quest to find Mary,” saidour 4/5 star reviewfor the PS5 version. “The updates to the camera are a welcome change, and while combat has been improved, there are some aspects that are annoying, such as enemies that don’t cause the radio to emit noise and can attack without detection.” With Halloween on the horizon, Silent Hill 2 might leap up the charts as gamers seek a scary game to play over the holiday.
A surprising dud is Just Dance 2025 Edition, which debuted at 20th place. The series has been seeing a drop in interest recently. Just Dance 2023, for example,underperformedfor the French publisher. This may be due to the game not releasing on PS4 and Xbox One. Each year’s game also adds songs to the existing version rather than making a new edition from scratch each time.
