The final SIlent Hill game made by Team Silent and wow.. what a really weird note to disband on. It does away with previous horror formulas and creates it's own ways of scaring you. I love how the game tells it's story, rather than outright tell you, you have to make an effort to collect all the notes within the game that explain all of the backstory and what's going on around you, it's genuinely such a fast and hard way to hook someone which makes it my favorite story in the series right behind 2. It's seriously that great. I love how immersive the apartment and locations are (especially the apartment world). I do have issues with this game though, the combat is braindead easy, ruining the horror of enemies almost immediately, it's a lot more.. "action" orientated, don't get me wrong though. You're not crashing a car into a gas station with giant explosions while gunning down hordes of enemies (there's only two types of guns in the entire game and they're both handguns). I mean there's just a lot more enemies to deal with. Henry's voice actor is just.. not good. I was looking forward to him the most in this game and well.. I was left sorely disappointed with his laughably questionable deliveries and monotone reactions. Also the limited inventory just absolutely breaks the pace of the game when you have to go back into the your apartment, dump everything into a chest, and go back to the otherworld. It does away with a lot of the horror elements created by previous games but to make up for it, it creates new horror elements that make this game still one of the best ever. In a world where every Silent Hill game after this redoes the concept of Silent Hill 2 over and over again but shittier and shittier, a game like this is so over hated. More Silent Hill games should do more unique situations and stories like this in the future and I'm hoping Silent Hill f does exactly that instead of just another Dollar General Silent Hill 2. This game is great, horrifying, and the most unique horror game to this day.
