Silent Hill 4: The Room

It's an interesting game. Not up there with SH 1-3 but still fun and a fitting swan-song for Team Silent.

Maybe I’ve become desensitized to horror, but Silent Hill 4 wasn’t scary to me at all, just annoying. My irritation was caused by the ghost enemies in particular, who keep moaning all the time. They can’t be easily killed and they keep stalking you which makes traversing levels a pain in the ass. Technically, the game is a disaster. The gameplay is unenjoyable and unrewarding. You’re either bashing the enemies over their heads with melee weapons or shooting them with a gun. While it’s classic survival horror design that sounds good on paper, the execution makes it terrible. The protagonist’s movement is janky and the camera is all over the place. Managing the limited inventory and saving progress is way too cumbersome, as there’s just one item box and one savepoint. Acting is poor. The main character seems either oblivious or indifferent to what’s happening around him. Maybe it’s coincidental, but the plot rehashes ideas from the films “Seven” and “1408” which is uninspired and disappointing for someone who is already familiar with them. Also, there’s too much reading involved in the gameplay.

Im scared but my homie say yo play and i play, god hystory but bad gamplay, i recommend if u are fan or not. I have never play a single siletn hill before XOXO

absolute garbage. The game is ass. It is trash. It made me want to kms. Dont buy.

Okay, so like MGS 1-2, this is the PC port of SH4 that came out a long time ago. So, dont expect ressed up graphics, full on controller supporte an etc. Aside from being done to run on modern systems/Windows, what you see is what you get. Having said that, it still nice to have this game on GoG, along with the MGS games and it does make me wonder if Konami still has the PC ports of 2 and 3 lying around somewhere.
