Hinako's horror. We played the entirety of Silent Hill F on PS5 for this review, due to our early access code. We have since tested the game on Xbox Series X and S, the details of which are explained towards the end of the review. A quaint, semi-rural Japanese town covered in a…

Is there anything left that Silent Hill can offer us? Last year, I felt the answer to that question was a resounding no. The series' comeback game The Short Message, a short teaser of a horror experience, landed far, far away from my tastes, and last year's Silent Hill 2 was a…

Silent Hill f's frustrating first-half is outweighed by a brilliant, delirious second that's well worth the initial slog. Our review.

Silent Hill f is thick with a horrifying yet beautiful foggy atmosphere and truly gnarly monster designs, combined with incredibly well-judged, smart, and gut-wrenching writing.

Agreement—

Silent Hill F takes the survival horror series in a new direction, which pays off for the most part. It's quite different, and hardcore fans will have to accept that.

Accept it for what it is, and you'll find one of PS5's most intense experiences.

Agreement—

Silent Hill f faithfully retains the series’ classic elements with some cool reinventions to deliver a more than respectable horror romp. I just wish it were scarier and, ultimately, more substantial.
