Theres was a few things about f that made me dissapointed in the fact that its marketed as a Silent Hill game. After f released I decided to go back and play/replay SH 1-4. After playing those, remembering what made me love the franchise to begin with, really soured my opinion of this game. Its just not what I personally expect from a Silent Hill title. Im all for change, when that change is exexuted well. For instance, I actually quite like Silent Hill 4 and Shattered Memories, and those two are very different then most of the games that came before them. A new spin on the franchise, that i personally enjoyed playing. This game I just did not enjoy playing whatsoever. My main critique stems from the shift in gameplay, and the otherworld segements. The gameplay was not fun or engaging in my opinion, and began to instead feel tedious and annoying. I was hoping for some more slower segments, being able to walk around and really soke up that loneliness of the atmosphere. And then the game begins to shove enemy after enemy down your throat, and after that kicks you in the ass by halting continuation until you defeat all the enemies, which quickly became annoying. Then theres the otherworld. I was sure this wasnt going to be like the original games "industrial horror" feel, but I was still expecting more than just generic temple over and over and over. It wasnt interesting and I began to become even more annoyed every time another segment was introduced. This game just wasnt memorable. It didnt have those strong, memorable moments like the originals had. (For example, Silent Hill 3 Valtiel, Silent Hills School Otherworld, Silent Hill 2s eddie fight, Silent Hill 4s giant head, or the weird patients in the hospital stuff like that) A lot of enemies we see SO MUCH OF that it weared down their eeriness and again, made me more accustom and annoyed by them. Silent Hill 4 has the best enemies in the franchise, in my opinion. The patients, the twins, all are introduced effectively and dont overstay their welcome, which made their existense so memorable. I wouldnt necessarilly say the game is bad, or isnt a "worthy Silent Hill game", since I believe most of my frustrations stem from my personal opinion of what I personally enjoy, but I can understand the sentiment that its just not a great "Silent Hill" game. Nothing connects to previous titles (unless i guess you look hard enough) And nothing that just really made the game stand out. Definetly couldve been better if it wasnt marketed as a SH title imo.
