Silent Hill f

Here, true horror isn’t in the fog, the blood or the monsters, but the shedding and rebuilding of the self until you no longer recognize who remains.

Silent Hill f balances threat and reality in a way that kept me playing longer and longer per session.

Saying this is both what a Silent Hill game has always been while also being totally different from everything that has come before might seem like a cop out but it's the truth. It goes places with its plot and might be the most personal story yet.

Silent Hill f is the entry fans have been waiting for since 2004’s The Room. The shift from small-town America to rural Japan gives the game a distinct identity, allowing the developers to craft a unique experience that still captures the spirit of the series. Ryukishi07’s storytelling shines, with your journal steadily filling with information and mature themes explored in subtle yet impactful ways. While combat has seen improvements over its predecessors, it still pales in comparison to the game’s atmosphere and puzzle design. After two long decades, and a remake of a genre classic, Silent Hill is finally back.

Silent Hill F is a very good Survival Horror and it carries within it the DNA of Silent Hill even if it takes us elsewhere, in this Japan which undoubtedly recalls the atmosphere of the Project Zero series... It is a very nice mix for this title which does not give away and offers an extremely neat universe. We regret the general heaviness of the gameplay which makes the fights quite painful and puzzles not always clear, but the overall experience is up to par.

In Silent Hill f, scenario writer Ryukishi07 has crafted an overwhelming story, yet the repetitive gameplay required to reach its conclusion diminishes the overall experience. The game's ambitious narrative structure – designed to overturn the player’s perception with each playthrough – clashes with game design that cannot fully support it, while its awkward distance from the traditional motifs of the series further complicates its evaluation. And yet, the story and characters themselves are undeniably genuine, carrying a value that deserves to be remembered and retold for generations to come.

It may not be set in the titular town, but Silent Hill f undoubtedly encompasses the essence of the series with a dark, twisted, and emotionally weighty tale of psychological horror. It also takes plenty of imaginative and creative risks that are fantastic and flawed in equal measure. It would be an even more special game if only it weren't plagued by an inconsistent atmosphere and some of the most miserable combat I've ever experienced.

どうしても戦闘スタイルにフォーカスがいきがちだが物語を周回していくとサイレントヒルシリーズお馴染みの心理描写が色濃く反映されてる。加えて神々との関係性なども含まれさらに難解になってるので評価が分かれる原因になってると思われる

Bad combat mechanics saved by a perfect storytellling. Need to play more than one time to really understand the story though and with this mechanics I dont know its playable for more than one time. Just watched all the endings and story parts in Youtube and played the game one time and i was satisfied.

For me, the overall rating would be 7.5! I appreciated how Konami certainly wanted to experiment with Silent Hill in Japan. I disagree with those who make pointless and obvious arguments saying it's not comparable to the old French titles, because it's obvious that it will never be like that. However, it can't be denied that the gameplay is quite fragile due to its combat system, but you have to appreciate the Japanese setting! in this dreamlike city... only negative cons... - longevity - not allowing entry into houses... or rather buildings, would have had more fascinating stages... - more exploration... in the town... - lack of character development Positive Pros: - stunning graphics - beautifully written lore - such fascinating settings an almost successful experiment... realistically, but one that I appreciated!

Underwhelming combat, story is quite dumb, the characters are not very interesting and the location is in japan, which is not related to silent hill in any way.

The story is great but the combat is soo terrible genuinely the worst combat in all gaming why did they try to make a souls game with durability weapons and after 80% of the game they js spam the monsters because they ran out of story which is because this game had insane potential
