Silent Hill f is the first new main entry since Silent Hill Downpour in 2012 and it feels great to finally have the series back. Even though the game takes place in Japan rather than the town of Silent Hill itself, it still carries the core spirit and psychological atmosphere that define the franchise.
The game excels in storytelling, atmosphere, visuals and music. Itโs haunting, beautiful and emotionally heavy in all the ways a Silent Hill title should be. I genuinely loved almost everything about it. However, my experience was dragged down by the frustrating stamina system, weapon durability and the unclear direction of the combat. It feels like the game wants to be more action-oriented, throwing waves of enemies at you, yet it punishes you with limited stamina and breakable weapons. A bit of tuning, like reducing stamina cooldown or reducing encounters, even allowing players to avoid combat altogether, would have made the combat much more enjoyable. With a few tweaks, I wouldnโt have many complaints.
By the end of my first playthrough, I was left unsatisfied with the default ending, which everyone gets on their initial run. I found out afterward that you need multiple New Game+ playthroughs to unlock more context, additional scenes and notes that expand the story. While I enjoyed my NG+ runs, I still wish the first playthrough offered a more complete and conclusive ending. NG+ should feel like an optional bonus and not something required to understand the full narrative.
I played Silent Hill f on PC and Unreal Engine 5 definitely caused issues. My first playthrough was filled with performance problems that affected my experience. Lowering graphics settings didnโt help either and I eventually had to use a performance mod just to make the game smoother. As of writing this review, the devs have released official patches to improve stability. I have yet to test it out for myself but i am looking forward to jumping back into SH f as improvement on stamina recovery is included as part of the latest patch.
Overall, Silent Hill f is a strong return for the series, even if it isnโt without flaws. I still recommend it to longtime fans. For newcomers however, Iโd suggest starting with the recent Silent Hill 2 Remake for a smoother and more accessible experience before diving into the more demanding and experimental Silent Hill f.

Also ich fand es leider enttรคuschend, kein Roter Faden, man wird stรคndig aus der Atmo rausgerissen und ich Kรคmpfe geworfen die sich sehr Monoton anfรผhlen. Leider nicht gut
Es un juego plano, trata de dar voz a un problema que ocurrรญa con el Japรณn post segunda guerra mundial pero falla estrepitosamente al tratar el tema con personajes planos, una protagonista por la cual es difรญcil sentir empatรญa, lo mismo pasa con sus amigos.
Lo que estรก bien logrado es la incomodidad que puede causar con ciertos eventos grotescos o con violencia muy grรกfica, la mรบsica actรบa como muy buen acompaรฑante en estos momentos .
La trama es difรญcil de comprender si lo terminas una vez, estรกs obligado a pasar el juego dos o tres veces para hacerte con una idea de mรกs o menos como va todo. A los fans de Ryukishi07 les va a encantar porque es similar a otras obras suyas.
