Silent Hill f - PlayStation 5, Amazon Exclusive Day One Edition

Great soundtrack and audio design as always, very creepy and unique monster designs, exciting and frantic, and an interesting story. It's not a perfect game. Combat can feel clunky, but at this point it's almost a trademark of the game. Weapon durability didn't seem necessary beyond making it harder to survive unless you run from most encounters. Navigating the village can be tough as it's cramped, packed with monsters and lots of dead ends, plus the occasional surprise jump scare. Overall better than I expected.

Pricey but as a fan of franchise worth it to me. Good graphics artistry and some scary moments. Game is great with surprises and anticipating fights. Have not comlpeted game yet but will die trying lol

This one caught me by surprise. Didn't expect to enjoy this one. It just seemed so far removed from SH at 1st glance. However if you give it a chance, you will find out that it's a solid horror game. I understand why it got some pushback now but I must admit it was a good experience. Even my most stubborn buddies stopped blasting the game after awhile and got invested into the crazy storyline. Great visuals, awesome art direction, sweet ost, neat story beats and solid combat. I look forward to the "we were wrong about SHF" videos later down the line.

Great psychological horror. Great story that keeps you thinking long after you play. One of the best games in the series.

Just finished the game last night. I think that last year's Silent Hill 2 remake is better than Silent Hill f, but I will give credit to the developers at NeoBard for doing something different for Silent Hill. And not just rehashing the same Silent Hill 2 formula over and over again. The combat in Silent Hill f has depth and is interesting to say the least. It can be pretty frustrating in many sections in the game though, but I felt I was getting better at it as the game progressed, which is more than I can say for some other action type games. I would recommend setting the action difficulty to the "story" setting if you are having a hard time, as I did. I am doing a new game+ now with the setting set to "hard", now that I know what to expect and have gotten more used to the combat and dodging/parry system and more familiar with the enemies and bosses. I completed the game last night after around 13 and 1/2 hours. This game has some disturbing scenes and the overall mood I really enjoyed for a Silent Hill game. And the fog, like Silent Hill 2 remake is some of the best I have ever seen in a video game. Even though Unreal Engine 5 games get a lot of criticism for performance, there is no denying the game looks fantastic and beautiful. And I played the game on "Quality" setting set at 30 fps, I had no major issues of slowdown at all during my play through. I really loved Hinako as a main character, who is both beautiful and complex for the series as a whole. The game has a tragic story and one that will stay with you, like many other Silent Hill games in the franchise..There are several additional endings to unlock after beating the game the first time, that provides more context and closure to the overall lore and story here that is being told in Silent Hill f. I just finished the "Fox Ending" last night, it being my 2nd playthrough, I strongly believe this is a great game with very strong writing and storytelling. There are differing messages around each ending that will provide more context, and finally a "true ending" after at least your 3rd playthrough, provided you meet all the in game conditions to reach that ending. The game also helps you out by listing what you need to do to gain each ending after beating the game the first time. I strongly feel based on what I have played so far, that Silent Hill f handles the themes it tries to tackle very well. I absolutely adored the soundtrack and loved all the new tracks from Akira Yamaoka. He is a legendary composer in the games industry and I am so grateful for him that he is continuing to do the Soundtracks for Silent Hill games, especially at his age. So in conclusion, please give the game a try if you are interested, keep an open mind, but accept that it is different from Silent Hill 2 or any other Silent Hill game...and you will enjoy it enormously I think. There are more options with items and strategy during fights and in some ways Silent Hill f does remind me of a RPG game. So in that sense I can see why the game would be divisive for some people. However alot of different Silent Hill games have also experimented with different combat systems over the years, so in my eyes, I give the developers here credit with what they were trying to do with this game. I would give this game a 8/10, or 4/5 stars here on Amazon. It is currently sitting on a 86 on Metacritic which seems fair. I wouldn't take the user critics score that is currently showing a 7.2 seriously at all. The game is facing some sort of strange culture war review bombing right now so I suspect the user score there to worsen. There are far too many extremely toxic fans of this IP unfortunately that are very unforgiving and opinionated about everything related to the IP and future games. I guess they want every Silent Hill game to be like 2, which to me would be equally disappointing and uninteresting, even though I love 2. Play the game/watch a youtube video of gameplay and decide for yourself instead. Don't let other people, here on Amazon reviews as well tell you only they know what Silent Hill is. Play the game and decide for yourself. Be willing to give this game an open mind and you will find it is highly intelligent, terrifying in many places and has a excellent and haunting story you won't soon forget. I think as time goes on the game will become more of a cult classic favorite within the fanbase even.

A fun and thrilling horror game with an amazing atmosphere and fantastic music. The gameplay is excellent, though the story could be stronger. I feel the game might have been better received if it wasn’t tied to the Silent Hill name and had a fresh title of its own. Still, highly recommended for horror fans.

as someone who’s waited 13-14 years for another silent hill installment (not including 2 remake), this game was an absolute blast and i had a lot of fun playing it, make sure to get all the endings 😉

I’m a few hours in and Silent Hill f has completely pulled me in. The atmosphere, the lore, and the story are everything I want from a Silent Hill game: it’s creepy, tragic, and intriguing. The combat is a little clunky, but honestly that’s part of the series’ DNA; Silent Hill has always been more about tension and vulnerability than fast action, and it works here too. What I love most is how the game sometimes feels exactly like Silent Hill — oppressive fog, grotesque monsters, unnerving sound design — and then at other times it feels like its own thing

To be fair, it's a good game with an interesting premise but the gameplay doesn't seem very "Silent Hill". It's more Souls-like. Still was a good time.

Mi queja es la misma que todos: No traía posters a pesar de que la publicidad indica que si, fue el único motivo por el cual lo compré en amazon y no en otra tienda, deberían tener mas cuidado con eso. Las 5 estrellas en si son por el juego, el juego es inscriblemente maravilloso !!! RESEÑA CON SPOILERS El juego se siente como un silent hill totalmente, tiene los elementos que hacen de un SH un SH, la historia es muy atractiva y combina los aspectos de silent hill: psicologia y misticismo, la psicología detrás de cada monstruo es hermosa, así como la ambientación y la música, se siente mucho la mano de Akira Yamaoka, eso si desconcierta un poco el parry, la barra de energía y el esquive pero se sienten mas como elementos de evolución, como el siguiente paso en silent hill, no es un juego para los nostalgiafans es el silent hill para las nuevas generaciones, la cantidad de mounstruos es similar a la de SH2 remake asi que no llega a sentirse como un juego de acción, la explicación de uno de los finales donde se explica que Hinako enloqueció y mato a todos en su boda es genial, el monstruo persiguiendote todo el juego para al final descubrir que es la misma Hinako es muy SH2 con James y Piramid Head, la relacion de SHF con SH1 a través de la claudia blanca es genial y el que la justificación de la locura de Hinako sea un consumo excesivo de la claudia blanca esta increíble, entre los otros finales se encuentra uno que hace alusión al misticismo mencionado y peleando contra dioses pero tambien es muy silent hill tomando en cuenta que en SH1 peleamos contra un demonio volador. Definitivamente 👌 lo recomiendo mucho y mas si son seguidores de la saga y vienen con mente abierta a ver la evolucion de sh. Silent hill 1, 2 y 3 fueron un charmander y este es un charizard, disfrútenlo

Simplesmente incrível. Rápida entrega e com extrema qualidade. Agora, só diversão !!

Chegou um dia antes do prazo, o jogo é muito bom, com áudio japonês e inglês, trás legendas em português.

Excellent game through and through. To any of the purists stating that this isn’t a Silent Hill game - you’re simply wrong. To avoid including spoilers I’ll say it’s clear a lot of care and respect went into making this game. This series was in critical need to be revitalized and Konami took some major swings (i.e the combat mechanics); but a lot of the criticism on the combat from fans is greatly exaggerated. In short, go in with an open mind regarding your own expectations of what makes a true Silent Hill game and you’ll likely be surprised as I was - this is coming from a life long fan of the series. Also, most low reviews are because some of the day-one edition posters are missing from the case which has nothing to do with the quality of the game itself. Try it out for yourself.
