Чтобы вы понимали, сложность - Сюжет. А игра что геймплеем, что самим сюжетом - задушила за 5 часов своей одноклеточной структурой.

Я уже молчу про посредственную оптимизацию (но терпимую) и постоянное не покидающее чувство, что весь лвл-дизайн собран из ассетов UE5 какого-нибудь японского пака... настолько однообразно, скучно и... никак... лучшего слова не подобрать. Этот проект оказался никаким во всём, даже инди сфера чаще всего хоть чем-то радует, а тут новая часть во франшизе SH и настолько всрато? Недослешер про школьников и проблемы пубертата? Нет слов

With its new setting, Silent Hill f offers a truly beautiful area to explore. Ebisugaoka, the game’s setting, is a mountain town in Japan’s countryside of the 1960s, characterized by fog and red spider lilies.

As with the other Silent Hill games, we’re treated to psychological horror, with a disturbing atmosphere, eerie enemy designs, and a very confusing story. The story of Hinako was told in a very gripping way, but unfortunately I didn’t understand much of it—partly because I’m not familiar with Japanese culture—so I read up on the story afterward.

The game attempts to highlight classic stereotypes and behaviors common in Japan, while also addressing families with strong traditional and hierarchical structures. In doing so, it also sheds light on the behavior of women who are suppressed and expected to conform, as they are otherwise not considered “real” women or girls.

The gameplay is once again a good mix of exploration with plenty of background information, puzzles, and combat. I find the transition between the real world and the Shrine World particularly exciting. Although the Shrine World can be a bit confusing and labyrinthine at times, I still enjoyed exploring it. Of course, the sexy fox man played a part in that, too 🤭

The combat can be a bit frustrating at times, as the dodging mechanics feel somewhat imprecise and a bit vague. What I personally don’t like about the combat system at all is the durability of the weapons. I understand the idea behind it—to create a sense of unease and pressure, since you always have to be careful in battle not to end up weaponless—but I just can’t get into this mechanic, and I find it frustrating when you lose your favorite weapon because you don’t have a repair kit on hand.

But all in all, it’s a solid game with that classic Silent Hill vibe.

My first Silent Hill game! It was fun but some parts felt tedious.

Solid entry, I didnt feel compelled to complete SH2 remake though
