Silent Hill is my second favorite horror game frenchise, RE being no. 1. The first is still my favorite. 2, 3 and Homecoming are also good games. The one I really didn't like was 4.

Never played any of the originals. I am liking the atmosphere and gameplay of Silent Hill 2 Remake more than I thought I would though. Ideally it would run as well as God of War Ragnarok does and be as playable at 4K on higher end spec, but I have found dropping res to 1440p solves most of the problems. The game looks really good though even at 1440p on a 4K TV, and has more variety of monsters than I thought it would.
I'm playing on Normal and saved all my pistol ammo as long as I could, using just melee against Lying Figures, Manakins, and even the first Nurses. Pyramid Head as I suspected though took a fair bit of ammo, but even after him and the Creepy thing in a cage that drops down from the ceiling, the sections thereafter allowed me to get my pistol and shotgun ammo back up. I just encountered the rifle, but have yet to acquire it.
It's a fairly well designed game, but Bloober, which I call a MacGruber Blooper for fun, seems to be another fledgling PC port team that lack the skill for technical polish on the performance end. Even visually there are already a TON of graphical mods to fix what they messed up on graphical features. Digital Foundry's Alex Battaglia did a video review on it that details this, everything from ghost tails on leaves that cross over RT reflections, to moving wall textures.

I'm glad you like it. Fun fact though; you don't actually need to fire any shots at Pyramid Head at all, since the fight is more about accepting fate. You can simply run around in circles for 5-10 minutes and eventually he will leave. Those sort of details are what distinguishes Silent Hill from Resident Evil. It's never about the action. It's about psyche.

I was contemplating that during the encounter, and wasn't sure if it was time or damage based. It seemed at one point he went into a rage mode when I really started shooting him a lot, so I was kind of leaning toward damage. That and the fact that ammo was plentiful for resupplying thereafter.
I like reading your responses btw, but I prefer to be kept in suspense about things that affect your survivability, so please use spoiler tags for such info if you would.
