A better narrative experience than most movies I’ve seen

Com certeza o melhor jogo de terror que eu já joguei. Ambientação,trilha sonora, narrativa tudo se encaminha pra formar uma experiência marcante do mundo do terror que com certeza todos tem que dar uma chance, mesmo aqueles que não consomem muito esse tipo de mídia. Confesso que enrolei um pouco pr a jogar esse pois mesmo já tendo jogado o Silent Hill:Origins ele não me incentivou muito a querer jogar os outros. Mas diante disso novamente repito que é uma experiência de vídeo game que vale super a pena.
Minhas únicas crítica negativas são em relação ao gameplay que é bem enrigecido e de fato envelheceu( não a toa ganhará um remake) e o loop de gameplay de ter que ficar abrindo porta que lá pela parte final do jogo cansa um pouco.

I didn't finish it, but I came very close to the end. I don't know where all this deep writing people talk of is. If it's somehow all stuck behind the endings, that's bad. What I saw of the writing was very mediocre and didn't lead anywhere. Many characters have no purpose to exist. I also don't buy the "lots of hidden symbolism" thing because it genuinely feels like SH2 fans online thought far deeper than the actual writers did.

And, unlike the first game, it was either great fun or really boring gameplay wise. Has some amazing areas but some which are absolute snoozefests. Not even talking in regards to the horror factor. Many areas just were really bland. The amazing areas make up for it, but I prefer how Silent Hill 1 was more consistent in terms of keeping my attention.

A game about a man afraid of triangles

Will certainly be replying at some point to get the various endings. One of the most powerful games and messages I’ve seen. A lot to take in now. A special type of story. Will definitely be I playing more from the series now
