Thanks for your replies! I've started playing SH2 remake just today and I'm thoroughly enjoying it thus far. Bloober Team really surprised me with this one.

I'm finding this hard to articulate without rambling but despite enjoying it, I'm not feeling truly immersed in the moment-to-moment gameplay as much as I'd like to be. The reason being this is my first exposure to SH2 and I personally feel like I'm trying to retroactively "catch-up" on almost 20 years of missed themes and nostalgia, therefore I'm trying to absorb & consider every element of the story a li'l too much.
Phenomonal sound design btw.

You live up to your name, thank you King! I'm going to try to put that critical part of my brain away, just enjoy the ride and worry about having a deeper delve & thinking about the themes after my first run-through.
I've recently upgraded TV and sound systems and that li'l detail about the radio is genuinely so helpful.
