I fear the odds are heavily stacked against this game because based on recent history it's "supposed" to be bad. As a result I think its getting way more flak. Mind you, I don't necessarily disagree with the criticisms. It's especially true that the game is on the nose and cliché in parts. The gameplay itself, specifically the chase sequences, aren't all that amazing. I ran through most of them first try. The last one is pretty brutal since it's hard to memorize and punishing when you fail.

For a free game, it exceeded my expectations. Not long enough for me to get tired of it and not offensive enough to be unbearable. The glory days of Silent Hill are long gone and honestly it's unlikely fans will ever be satisfied again. If this kind of thing is what new Silent Hill is going to be, I'll be okay with riding it out as a casual fan.
