This is the Remake of the 2001 classic psychological horror. It does the franchise justice other than a few unneeded changes it's a fairly well done Remake. It even retains the separate difficultly settings for combat and puzzles, with new puzzles having been added to spice things up. It's got an easy platinum as everything can be done on the lowest difficultly settings.

The Platinum trophy.
No Turning Back Now
After gaining control turn around and head left down the highway.
Proceed down the stairs from the Observation Deck, head through the graveyard where you meet Angela and enter Silent Hill.
Nice And Cozy
Collect the Neely's Bar coin the cash register in Texan Café. Go to Neely's bar, you can find a matchbox while exploring that will mark it on your map. Inside you will find a broken jukebox, half a record, and a note that mentions Groovy Music and Saul Street Apartment 9. Proceed to Groovy Music to find the other half and some glue. Combine them in the menu to fix it. Then proceed to the maked area on Saul Street. The entrance is next to the auto parts shop. Make your way through the apartments to reach 9 and you will find the #2 button in a hole in the bathroom wall. Return to Neely's bar, fix the jukebox and play the record to revieve the Neely's bar key. After exiting Neely's bar through the back you will find it in a pile of bloody clothes on the street. Use it to enter the Woodside Apartments.
Let's NOT Party!
You'll find the handgun in Apt. 217 in a shopping cart. The Balloons are located in Apt. 207. I suggest you save before shooting the balloons to conserve your ammo.
Otherworldly
You enter the Otherworldl for the first time after fighting off an old friend (you don't actually have to attack him, the fight is timed.) Upon exiting through the red door you will be in Blue Creek apartments, an Otherworldly version of Woodside Apartments.
Passed
You get this after entering the door marked S aka Scott or Seconds.
Uncanny
Reach Rosewater Park and walk down the boardwalk to the Gazebo.
All Seems In Order
When you first arrive at Jack's Inn after meeting Maria you may enter this room and James says that they should leave as something is 'wrong' with it. You must wait to return here after visiting Brookhaven hospital. Upon your return examine the damaged wall which wasn't there before. The symbol is the Halo of Sun. A reference to Silent Hill 3.
Leftovers
After exiting Rosewater park, pay a visit to Pete's Bowl-o-Rama to find leftover pizza from the original game when you find Laura and Eddie.
Admitted
After opening the gate and passing through Heaven's Night you see Laura run into Brookhaven Hospital, follow her inside.
Nightmare Fuel
After finding Laura she says she forgot something, a letter from Mary. But it's a trick, instead she locks you in a hospital room so make sure you are ready for a fight.
Alone Again
In the Otherworld Hospital Maria rejoins after you pick up the copper ring, rather upset that you left her behind. Then you are chased by Pyramid Head down a long corridor to an elevator, resulting in a bloody end for one of you.
Into The Abyss
After retrieving the key from Rosewater Park head to the Silent Hill Historical Society. Inside you will find a seemingly endless staircase.
Unforgivable
In the underground Labyrinth you will eventually find Angela in a room with pistons in the walls and she is being attacked by a monster that looks like 2 figures in a bed. Save her. (Mature themes. Viewer Discretion is advised.)
Inner Sanctum
This refers to Pyramids Head's room. It is a circular room and in it you will find the Greate Knife which he has discarded in favour of a spear. It is slow and heavy but does a great deal of damage.
A Human Being
After making it through Toluca Prison you'll find Eddie but he's acting strange. He's loses his mind and attacks you with a revolver, defend yourself.
Glimmer of Hope
After defeating Eddie you exit onto a dock with a rowboat waiting for you on Toluca Lake, make your way across. She is waiting for you.
Scourge Of Toluca Lake
If you are doing the speedrun, which I do recommend leaving for your second run, save before leaving the dock and you can afk until this pops.
Truly Special
If you need help follow this walkthrough.
It's Bread
It is located in the Employees only Area in the Basement Kitchen of Lakeside Hotel.
Obsolete
After fixing the music box you will encounter them one last time. It's finally over.
That Part Of Me
It's time to face up to the consequences of what you've done. Put her to rest at last.
Lumberjack
You can find this logged in some lumber outside of Silent Hill Ranch during New game+.
Merciless
In order to do a stomp the enemy must be on the ground, crawling enemies count too. Simply press R2.
No Big Deal
As Eddie says it's no big deal, you can use a combination of the handgun and shotgun for this.

This is the first weapon you get, so if you hear static seek out those enemies in the streets of Silent Hill.
