About this listen

 There are so many great new video games released each year and gamers are pulled in so many different directions by the abundance of options, but have significantly less time to play than ever before, between work, other entertainment, other activities and life in general. This has led most gamers to build up some degree of a backlog of games and the need to then decide which game to start next. Rather than staring at your library of available games, join Alex and Andrew as they lead conversation around a single video game at a time, following a traditional "book club" format and chatting each week about the most recent chapter or section.

    The Gaming Backlog "Book Club” hosts chat about the final hours of Silent Hill 2 Remake. Join us to go over the ultimate descent into fear and madness, the major revelations of the story, and our final thoughts based on this being our introduction to the franchise. Will we be able to finally take out Pyramid Head, find Mary and make it out alive? We sure hope so.

    Check in next time to learn about the next game from the backlog that we’ll be playing.

    We want to know what you thought of the finale of Silent Hill 2, which ending you achieved, whether you’ll be jumping into New Game Plus or playing another Silent Hill game soon, and what’s next on your gaming backlog to start playing soon. Take part in our conversation by joining The Gaming Backlog "Book Club" Discord server at https://discord.gg/9xdX3znWQn or finding it through our LinkTree link on Instagram.

    6.4 Silent Hill 2 Part 3
    Oct 2 2025
    Jump down into the pitch black darkness of the Toluca Prison with The Gaming Backlog "Book Club” hosts and see what lurks beneath. Somebody here in Silent Hill knows what’s going on and where Mary is, but it’s certainly not James. We chat about just how scary a horror game can get and just what pure, total darkness mixed abstract sounds and chittering enemies does to a person. Will we ever find our way out of Silent Hill? Time will tell, if our minds stay sane that long.

    Stay tuned for next week's episode to finish off Silent Hill 2 Remake Part 2, and share tips for New Game Plus as well as any wild stories you have.

    We want to hear how your journey, from the Brookhaven Hospital to, into and through the Toluca Prison went. Join the discussion by applying to The Gaming Backlog "Book Club" Discord server or joining directly through our LinkTree link on Instagram.

    The Gaming Backlog "Book Club” hosts chat about meeting new mysterious companions, chasing after skittish friends (or are they foes?) and making their way through the abandoned hospital in Silent Hill 2 Remake. The fog never ends in Silent Hill, but that’s the least of your worries. The hospital is chock full of jump scares, frightening music, and a brand new enemy type to worry about.

    Stay tuned for next week's episode to find out what happens in Silent Hill 2 Remake Part 3, and share further tips, experiences and stories.
