The complaints I keep seeing about stealth are overblown and illustrate a lack of skill, resourcefulness & or intelligence in approaching this game. Screen Burn did a fantastic job with this, both as a horror game & as a Silent Hill game. St. Amelia might not related to the original town, but it captures what it is to be a Silent Hill game (and not just because of the fog although that, too, is very well done). The setting/location, graphics, story, gameplay, new CRTV mechanic, New Game+ unlocks and the 5 different endings are all just great. The attention to detail in St. Amelia is top notch. They nailed the 90's Scotland aesthetic. I've yet to see a poster or writing on objects that is gibberish or low-effort lorem ipsum. The Strange Postcards are also a great addition. Love the Otherworld aesthetic too. I'm probably going to be replaying this game for a while. I'd rate this equal to or slightly above SH2R and both SH2R & Townfall far above SHf. SHf was an action-fest and the farthest thing from a Silent Hill game in my opinion, so that shouldn't come as a surprise. Side note: the complaints about The Weight are also overblown. I've had no issues getting through the Medical Center on Normal mode. All this to say: straight 10/10.
