This game is really good! While it shares DNA with the other Team Silent games, it sets out to be something different. Where the other games in the series to come after tried to recapture the feel of the first two games, this game strikes off in its own direction. Its structure makes inventory management part of the tension, and allows for some truly terrifying set pieces in its varied locals. The back half has you on an escort mission without random, cheap fail states, but disturbing impact on the story and atmosphere. Silent Hill 4 feels like what happens when a great team with years of experience working together set out to make something new and different.
