Shallow, confusing, and nonsensical in equal measure, Silent Hill: Ascension is not the triumphant return to Silent Hill we've been longing for.

Silent Hill Ascension, with its promising live participation concept, initially piqued my interest but ultimately fell short due to a rushed narrative, generic characters, and an array of microtransactions. While it successfully brings the community together for some collaborative decision-making, the game’s overall experience leaves much to be desired. The repetitive endurance segments, issues with the PC interface, and the high cost of the season pass further diminish the appeal.

I respect the ambition behind Silent Hill: Ascension, but the execution collapses. The pacing is erratic, the characters feel thin, and the writing rarely lands—draining tension from what should be a story-driven experience. Facial animation is especially rough and repeatedly breaks immersion. I would not recommend this to anyone - not even to diehard fans of Silent Hill.

Só não dou nota zero porque a trilha sonora é boa e o design de monstros é bom. Uma pena que o compositor e os artistas trabalharam em um jogo/série tão ruim.

Silent hill short message was one of the worst games I have ever played, until I remembered this game exists. It is a bad TV show that lies to you and makes you think that you are important in its story and the way it played out. You need a 30 dollar pass to do anything. Worst game I have ever played.

Great visual novel, fun QTE sections, amazing looking monsters. Buggy but they keep ironing out the bugs.

The "game" from the beginning is what the creators announced, so I don't understand most of the criticism. I like the idea of a community-driven storyline. The story develops interestingly. It pretty looks good. The game still suffers from bugs and glitches, but is constantly being improved by the developers.

Silent Hill: Ascension takes a daring step away from conventional horror gaming, presenting an animated interactive series with a unique storytelling format. While the departure is commendable, challenges in character development, storytelling coherence, and the interactive features raise questions about the success of this unconventional Silent Hill experience

one point for (in theory) an interesting approach and the new idea in money making. sadly, everything else is just terrible and the creators should be ashamed of this making
