Really impressed by this one. Fantastic soundtrack, fun puzzles, decent enough atmosphere. It's old school Silent Hill, which I love.

There are a few issues, though. Lack of tank controls make the movement feel awkward, especially when the fixed camera switches. It's very easy to walk in and out of areas accidentally because forward will instantly switch to backward. I thought the story was meh, character motivations confusing.

My biggest issue related to the new "teleport" mechanic. I didn't really like having the ability to switch between the two different worlds. Imo, the town of Silent Hill is at its most interesting when it is imposing its will on the protagonist. That's when the best psychological horror elements of the series really show for me. Being able to switch back and forth at will takes power away from the town, which takes away a lot of the horror for me.

With that being said I don't think the mirror system was a total failure. It gave me more Silent Hill to play and explore which I thought was neat. Not sure it's worth the damage done of the atmosphere and mood, however.
