I'll be honest, I am consistently baffled how weird Silent Hill fans are and how insanely hateful they are to anything outside of Silent Hill 1 to 4 (and even 4 took a LONG time to actually get people to agree that its not bad). Im not saying Silent Hill Homecoming ever reaches the heady highs of those four games and I wont ever say its a successful Silent Hill game as its all too flashy, action-like and too on the nose thematically.
What I will say is that even despite that, its still a rather fun, if flawed third person horror shooter. The action is quick, the locations varied and the plot, while its about as subtle as a brick covered in spiders, does provide a few neat little plot turns here and there. Overall its the sort of thing you'd be happy to blast through in an afternoon which is fine and I think people shit on this more than necessary.
