Wikipedia's Silent Hill 2 Remake page was recently targeted by a review bombing campaign orchestrated by disgruntled fans. Following the early access release, inaccurate and lower review scores were added to the page by users seemingly unhappy with the Bloober Team developed remake.

False Reviews Flood Wikipedia

The incident prompted Wikipedia administrators to temporarily lock the page, preventing further unauthorized edits. While the reason behind the coordinated negative review campaign remains unclear, speculation online points towards the game’s reception among a segment of the fanbase. The now-corrected Wikipedia page previously displayed fabricated lower scores from various gaming publications.

Despite this controversy, the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which officially launches October 8th, has garnered largely positive critical acclaim. For instance, Game8 awarded the game a 92/100 rating, praising its emotional impact on players. The temporary disruption to its Wikipedia entry doesn't appear to have significantly impacted its overall positive critical reception.
