RagnarRox | Solaris (And How it Influenced Silent Hill 2) | Monsters of the Week @RagnarRoxShow | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 10 seconds ago
Team Silent has officially named many works of literature, art and film that have influenced them when writing Silent Hill 2.
The 1972 movie Solaris by Andrei Tarkowski, which is based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem has never been formally acknowledged as an influence, though.
In this video, I'll show you why it's almost strikingly obvious how this fantastic piece of cinematic art has served as a backbone for Silent Hill 2's very personal, emotional plot and how it delves into funamental questions of existentialism.

So I’ve Got to Play DEATH TRASH (& It’s Awesome)
Death Trash has been in development by Stephan Hövelbrinks and his small indie developer team Crafting Legends for the past 6 years and this demo is the first publicly available playable version. The developers offered me to play the game and report on it early and I said I’d love to check it out and see if I want to make a video on it.
After playing through the 2-3 hour long demo 3 times I was eager to show you how much of a damn cool, absurd and hilarious post-apocalyptic action RPG dream come true this game is for me. I had a fantastic time.
This demo will be available June 16th through 22 as part of the Steam Next Fest event, Death Trash will hit early access in late summer 2021 with a several times larger playable area and is planned for final release in 2022 for PC, Xbox One, Series S and X, Nintendo Switch as well as PS4 and PS5.
Since this is an early version, bugs and glitches are to be expected.
