Instant classic and Konamis most significant redemption. Unbelievably good horror with phenomenal storytelling.

Our analysis

A phenomenal psychological horror and one of the best entries in the series, trading the small-town America setting for slow-burning Japanese horror with brilliant writing, spectacular visuals, and Akira Yamaoka's outstanding score. Engaging, more action-oriented combat with dodging and parrying, tense resource and weapon-durability management, and five meaningfully different endings make multiple playthroughs essential. A couple of convoluted puzzles drag and combat occasionally lacks feedback, but these are minor blemishes on a remarkable evolution.

Our analysis

A story-driven horror game with excellent narrative, atmosphere, and puzzles, but hindered by weak combat mechanics, linear design, and performance issues. Highly recommended for narrative-focused players.

Even if not everything works really well, Silent F is already one of the most remarkable games this year, and I'm excited to see what comes next.

    Unique 1960s Japan prequel with action-oriented mechanics. Rich symbolism but feels soulslike.

  • GmanLives👎 negative

    Our analysis

    Gggmanlives criticizes Silent Hill F for abandoning core Silent Hill design elements in favor of an action-focused combat system with forced encounters. While the visuals and story are engaging, the game lacks the survival horror identity and dread that made earlier entries compelling.

  • Second WindSecond Wind😐 mixed

    Our analysis

    Yahtzee found Silent Hill f to be atmospherically engaging and genuinely scary with classic Silent Hill vibes, but was disappointed by its story, out-of-place boss fights, poor puzzle design, and the requirement of multiple playthroughs to get meaningful closure.

    Our analysis

    Silent Hill f successfully brings the creator back to the series by thoughtfully combining series staples (fog, darkness, psychological horror) with new mechanics and Japanese horror themes, featuring meaningful character internalization where the environment mirrors the protagonist's inner turmoil.

  • The Sphere Hunter😐 mixed

    Our analysis

    A welcome return for the Silent Hill series that boldly establishes its own identity while maintaining the franchise's core horror mechanics. The creator praises its thematic consistency, Japanese cultural adaptation, and the way its narrative perfectly aligns with its combat-heavy gameplay.

  • arhn.eu😐 mixed

    Our analysis

    A fresh and unconventional entry in the Silent Hill series with compelling story and atmosphere, but experimental solutions and combat repetition divide opinions. Worth experiencing for its bold new direction despite not matching Silent Hill 2's legacy.

    A brilliant horror game with an exceptional story and terrifying atmosphere that revitalizes the franchise, though poor combat mechanics and questionable pricing at $70 USD limit its overall value.

  • RagnarRox😐 mixed

    Our analysis

    An excellent survival horror game that stands with the original Silent Hill classics, featuring compelling integration of Japanese mythology and Shinto themes with mechanical design, though combat becomes repetitive in the final stretch.
